{"product_id":"nadt778","title":"NAD T 778 9.2 AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NAD T 778 is NAD's reference AV receiver: a 9-channel surround receiver with HybridDigital amplifiers, Dirac Live room correction, BluOS streaming and a large colour touchscreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the flagship for anyone who won't compromise on home cinema – and still loves music. Powerful, composed, thoughtfully engineered: an AV receiver that behaves more like a high-end amplifier with a talent for cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the T 778?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it combines uncompromising power with genuine musicality. Nine HybridDigital channels (Class D) deliver 9× 85 watts at full drive (140 watts in stereo) – cool, efficient and with a pitch-black background. Add Dolby Atmos and DTS:X up to 7.2.4, the widely praised Dirac Live room correction with microphone, and – unusual for an AV receiver – a built-in MM phono stage for your turntable. Everything is operated via a large colour touchscreen on the front instead of a sea of buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear \/ get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig-screen cinema with punch, precision and composure – plus a stereo sound that puts many dedicated hi-fi amplifiers to shame. Through BluOS you stream lossless (Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, AirPlay 2, Roon, MQA up to 24-bit\/192kHz). Six HDMI inputs (2.0b) pass through 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Nine amplifier channels natively run 5.1.4 or 7.1.2; add the pre-outs and an external amplifier and that becomes 7.2.4. And thanks to two MDC slots, it stays upgradeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the T 778 suited for? (and who it's not)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for the ambitious home cinema and demanding custom install – for anyone who wants reference sound, Dirac Live and serious music streaming in one unit. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e the HDMI ports are 2.0b, not 2.1 – so no 8K or 4K\/120Hz (that's what MDC is for). If you're after a simple, budget living-room cinema, you're better served by the T 758 V3i. The T 778 is the reference for those who want the maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAD's flagship pulls off the rare feat of combining home cinema and high-end hi-fi without a lazy compromise: brutal, clean power, first-class room correction, even phono – and the peace of mind that MDC keeps it future-proof. If you're buying once and buying right, this is what you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: 9-channel AV surround receiver (reference)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplification: HybridDigital (Class D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 9× 85 W (all channels, FDP) \/ 140 W stereo (8 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic power (IHF): 165 W (8 Ω) \/ 280 W (4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurround formats: Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannels: 5.1.4 \/ 7.1.2 native, 7.2.4 with external amplifier (pre-outs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom correction: Dirac Live (measurement microphone included, upgradeable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono: built-in MM phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStreaming: BluOS, AirPlay 2, Tidal\/Spotify\/Qobuz Connect, Roon Ready, MQA (up to 24-bit\/192kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo: 6× HDMI 2.0b inputs, 2× output; 4K UltraHD passthrough, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 4:4:4\/60p\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperation: large colour touchscreen on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArchitecture: MDC (2 slots), Zone 2, RS-232, 12V trigger, IR; Wi-Fi via USB adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 435 × 140 × 430 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12.1 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's included: T 778, Dirac measurement microphone, Wi-Fi USB adapter, remote control, power cable, user manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many channels and how much power does the T 778 have?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe T 778 has nine HybridDigital amplifier channels at 85 watts each at full drive (140 watts in stereo). That lets it run 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 natively; for 7.2.4 add an external amplifier via the pre-outs. In stereo it plays at hi-fi level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the T 778 support HDMI 2.1 with 8K?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The six HDMI inputs are 2.0b and pass through 4K with HDR10 and Dolby Vision – no 8K or 4K\/120Hz. Thanks to NAD's modular MDC architecture, though, the T 778 can be upgraded with plug-in modules instead of having to be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I connect a turntable to the T 778?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Unlike most AV receivers, the T 778 has a built-in MM phono stage. That means you can connect a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge directly – no separate phono preamp needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the NAD T 778 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause a reference receiver deserves proper calibration, the right speakers and thoughtful installation – exactly our trade.
