The NAD M10 V3 is a compact BluOS streaming integrated amplifier from the Masters Series with a Purifi Eigentakt power stage, Dirac Live room correction and HDMI eARC.
High end that shrinks down to book size – with a glass front and a 7-inch touchscreen instead of a graveyard of buttons.
Why the NAD M10 V3?
Because Masters-level technology is packed into a tiny housing. The Purifi Eigentakt power stage (HybridDigital) delivers 2× 100 watts with extremely low distortion – clean, fast, controlled. Add BluOS for High-Res streaming including MQA and multiroom, AirPlay 2, Spotify and Tidal Connect. The real joker is the full version of Dirac Live: it measures your room and digitally corrects acoustic weaknesses. Few devices pack this much sound into this little footprint.
What you get
The M10 V3 is operated via its brilliant 7-inch touchscreen, the BluOS app or the TV remote. On the connection side: HDMI eARC for home cinema, one optical and one coaxial digital input each, two line inputs, plus two subwoofer outputs and a pre-out for later expansion. Bidirectional Bluetooth aptX HD is included. The Dirac measurement microphone comes in the box – all you need is your speakers and a bit of curiosity.
Who is the NAD M10 V3 right for – and who isn't it right for?
Ideal if you want uncompromising sound without a component tower: an elegant all-in-one for demanding bookshelf and floorstanding speakers. Plain talk: the M10 V3 is small, but not a budget model – anyone who just listens to the radio in the background pays for reserves they'll never use. And for very large, extremely power-hungry speakers in big rooms, a separate power amplifier can make more sense. But for most high-end living rooms, it's exactly right.
Our verdict
The M10 V3 is the top league in a small format: Purifi power, BluOS, Dirac Live and HDMI in a beautiful housing. Anyone looking for maximum sound without a rack tower can stop searching here.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the NAD M10 V3 and the C700 V2?
Both are compact BluOS streaming amplifiers. The M10 V3 belongs to the Masters Series: more power (2× 100 instead of 2× 80 watts), a Purifi Eigentakt power stage, Dirac Live out of the box and a more premium glass-and-aluminium housing with a large touchscreen. The C700 V2 also offers HDMI eARC and a strong package at a more affordable price. Anyone wanting room correction and that last bit of sound quality reaches for the M10 V3.
What speakers suit the NAD M10 V3?
With 2× 100 watts of Purifi power, the M10 V3 confidently drives most bookshelf and many floorstanding speakers – even more demanding high-end speakers. For very large, extremely power-hungry speakers in big rooms, a separate power amplifier can be the better choice. We're happy to help you figure out which combination suits your room.
