The Norse Series represents the heart of Nordost’s cable offerings — a bridge between high-performance and reference-level audio. Over the years, Nordost cables have evolved alongside advances in cable design and emerging technologies. Norse 3 is the next step in that evolution, taking a holistic approach that considers the system as an ecosystem rather than simply a collection of components in close proximity. The Norse 3 Series brings together advances in cable geometry, innovative technologies, and precision construction techniques, working in concert to control and optimize the environment in which the cables operate. By addressing every aspect of cable performance as part of a unified system, Norse 3 is designed to maximize the potential of the entire audio system.

Norse 3 is comprised of three familiar, yet comprehensively upgraded ranges: Heimdall 3, Frey 3, and Tyr 3. Together, they offer a clear path to greater performance, whether you choose to explore the benefits of a single range or move seamlessly throughout the series as your system evolves. Every cable is engineered to preserve the speed, information, and the natural character of the signal, allowing each component to perform at its best and the entire system to work as a cohesive whole.

NAD Electronics has announced two new additions to the Classic Series, the C 359S Integrated Amplifier and C 569 CD Player. Built on the principles NAD was founded on, the C 359S pairs re-engineered Class AB amplification with BluOS streaming, and the C 569 CD Player draws more depth and detail from every disc.

NAD C 359S Integrated Amplifier

The C 359S brings the classic NAD integrated amplifier experience into a modern design. A re-engineered Class AB amplifier, powered by a high-current, low-noise switch mode supply derived from NAD’s flagship platform, delivers 2 x 70 watts into 8 ohms. BluOS is built in for hi-res streaming and multi-room audio, alongside HDMI eARC, aptX HD Bluetooth, a phono input and a subwoofer output with optional high-pass filtering.

NAD C 359S - $1,299

NAD C 569 CD Player

Joining the entry-level C 538 and flagship C 589, the NAD C 569 is built for customers whose CD collections deserve to be heard at the highest quality. NAD’s Dynamic Digital Headroom eliminates inter-sampling clipping for cleaner, harder-hitting transients, while QRONO d2a refines timing and resolution. An ESS SABRE DAC, improved op-amps and a refined power supply preserve low-level detail. With analogue and digital outputs, it’s a natural partner for the C 359S.

NAD C 569 - $999

Marantz design is timelessly elegant, expressing the musical soundscapes the products create through effortless control, accurate power, and real warmth of sound. It's a philosophy of balance and symmetry that shows up in both how their gear sounds and how it looks, combining heritage, performance, and contemporary luxury in every finish and detail.

The CD 70 builds on decades of award-winning disc player design to bring exceptional performance to the modern music collector. It's proof that the compact disc still has plenty to say.

Precision Engineering

Marantz's custom HDAM-SA2 circuitry and a high-performance DAC give the CD 70 pure, uncompromised CD playback. A USB-A input extends that same quality to your digital library: WAV, MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC HD, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD are all supported, with selectable digital filters to fine-tune the sound to your taste.

Timeless Marantz Design

Everything that delivers this warm, high-resolution playback lives inside a design that nods straight back to Marantz's heritage: a sleek metallic chassis, a crystal-clear digital display, and tactile controls built to last. The result is a CD player that feels like a lifetime of engineering, reimagined for the modern age.
