Beneath the classic NAD chassis of the C  446 lays a uniquely powerful digital media player with Internet radio,  FM\/AM and DAB\/DAB+ (where available). Included in its uncommon bag of  tricks is the ability to stream your music collection from multiple  networked storage devices using DLNA and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)  standards. Other great features include USB playback, Wi-Fi, an  easy-to-use Internet radio portal and support for cloud music services,  such as Last.fm.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Network and Stream<\/strong><br \/>\nWe love computer music but hate computer sound. Why listen to your  digital music through computer speakers when the C 446 can play it all  on your performance hifi system? The C 446 utilizes an UPnP client to  allow you to play audio files wherever music is stored on your network,  such as your computer, Android phone, Apple iOS device, or network hard  drive<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music at your fingertips<\/strong><br \/>\nBrowsing your media collection is not limited to the control panel of  the C 446. Thanks to UPnP Digital AudioRenderer (DAR) technology, you  can browse, create playlists, and change songs from anywhere in your  home using a variety of networked devices. Simply connect your iPhone,  iPad, Android device, or PC (with Windows 7) to the network and start  selecting music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Internet Radio<\/strong><br \/>\nThousands of radio stations. All kinds of music. Plenty of Podcasts. The  C 446 knows no boundaries when it comes to serving up great radio from  around the world. An easy-to-navigate Internet radio portal allows you  to browse and customize lists with all your favourite Internet radio  stations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music First<\/strong><br \/>\nAn audiophile-quality 24bit\/192kHz DAC and high performance analogue  audio circuitry extract every ounce of detail from your favourite music.  The C 446 handily outperforms broadcast quality thanks to its finely  tuned RF and IF sections when listening to FM\/AM, and lovers of DAB\/DAB+  digital broadcast will appreciate the improved audio quality compared  to other radios.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Uncommon Flexibility<\/strong><br \/>\nThe C 446 has a chameleon nature. Analogue FM\/AM can be decoded as SPDIF  digital output. Likewise, digital formats can be listened to using a  high quality analogue output. An RS-232 serial interface port allows  easy integration with advanced home automation systems.
