I took delivery of an M32 Wednesday. I am acutely aware of psychological bias, and I think it is the most understated element of our hobby, and it is early in my ownership- but I have to say that the m32 seems to be so far beyond the c390dd that it defies logic. The best amplifier I have ever owned is a Devialet 120, and the m32 is definitely in this territory- if not even better. I have a ton of travel coming up, but will do a write up after I get a few hundred hours on it. Also, FYI- here is a link that indicates some promise that DIRAC Live may be added to the m12/m32. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/1530195-nad-m17-m27-43.html#post55411882
Recognizing your post is a year old, I'm curious if you kept the M32 and how you'd characterize the contrast to C390DD (which I own and am considering upgrading to M32). Thanks
Les - Excellent that you are immediately impressed by the M32. I bought mine 10 months old, so I can't suggest how much or little improvement you will notice after burning in.I presume you have installed the BluOS card from the C390 into the M32. I look forward to your update when you return from your travels.
I've read a little about DIRAC but I must admit I don't know how it works. Is it an extra box in the signal path, or is it 100% software that is used by M32 to adjust for room / speaker deficiencies? I'm thinking of getting Martin Logan 13A speakers which have their own ARC system for sub-500 Hz equalisation. Peter
