NAD Masters M33 -- first review

[mdconnelly]

@Snoopy8 - I agree -- just wish he'd spent more time talking about the M33 sound quality. Dirac is a very important component of the M33 and a great selling point. But not a sufficient one alone. I really want to know how good the M33 is as an integrated amp first. If it's just another class D amp with Dirac bundled, well, IMHO that's not good enough. I suspect it is far better than that, but Darko seemed far more focused on Dirac to get a real sense. Not knocking the review - I actually really enjoyed it and probably need to watch it again - just wishing for more.

My point about using a professional to setup Dirac is that I've seen numerous comments from Dirac users that it takes someone who really knows how to use it to make it shine. Nothing wrong with that but I suspect that for most owners, seeking a professional will likely not happen. Still, I am highly intrigued by it because I know my room is causing me some headaches. I can only imagine how excited I'd be if Devialet announced Dirac integration. Just not holding my breath on that one.
