Extensive surround sound options
The T778 represents the currently most extensive and best options for the playback of multi-channel surround sound in the NAD portfolio. It supports HDMI video switching and decodes surround soundtracks up to 7.2.4 channels. Its most modern DSPs master the high-resolution, lossless surround formats such as Dolby® TrueHD or DTS master audio now also with object-based 3D audio such as Dolby Atmos® and thus enable a particularly intensive home cinema experience. The T 778's digital inputs automatically detect the surround mode of the source material and activate the appropriate decoders. The digital bit stream is converted by high-resolution and extremely linear D/A converters.
Efficient distortion-free amplifier technology
The nine power amplifiers of the T 778 work with NAD's hybrid digital technology. This amplifier circuit is not only characterized by an extraordinarily good efficiency and extremely low distortion, but is also able to deliver very high peak currents with loud music impulses and for an impressively realistic reproduction of action scenes. The absolutely noise-free silence during breaks and the explosive dynamics that characterize this amplifier technology give your music and your films an extraordinary drama and excitement.
4K UHD video
Featuring the latest and most advanced 4K chipsets, the T778 can handle standard and HD definition video sources including 4K Ultra HD with full compatibility for the latest 4:4:4 Pure Color 4K Ultra HD specification. It also offers full HDCP 2.2 compatibility so you can enjoy the highest quality 4K video with digital copyright protection.
Dolby Atmos®
Dolby Atmos digital sound format® ensures an extraordinary listening experience in your home cinema. You can implement a 778 system with the integrated amplifiers or the connections of the T 7.2.4. Regardless of the number of speakers, the T 778 produces an immersive sound reproduction all around the listener, allowing for pinpoint localization of audio effects and the full realism of Dolby Atmos®-Soundtracks reproduced.
Dirac Live® – Software for correction of room acoustics and impulse response
DIRAC Live Room Correction enables a remarkable improvement in sound quality by electronically adjusting the frequency response and impulse response. Once calibrated, DIRAC Live provides an extremely clear, natural and accurate image.
BluOS™ – multi-room streaming in HD quality
The T778 features BluOS™, the high-resolution multi-room audio platform shared with NAD's sister brand Bluesound - a unique feature among high-end AV receivers. When connected to the Internet via Ethernet or WiFi, the T778 has access to thousands of Internet radio stations and numerous high-quality music streaming services such as Spotify, Tidal, Deezer and many others. In conjunction with MQA Studio masters, the T 778 also offers the highest audio resolution currently available.
Incidentally, BluOS™ can also be integrated into some innovative home automation systems, so that in addition to the intelligent control of lighting, heating and other building services, it is also possible to operate a BluOS™ multi-room system via the smart home panel. The driver software for the systems from the manufacturers Control4, Creston, ELAN, iPort, Lutron, Push, RTI and URC is available for download at the top of the sub-navigation under the "Smarthome Integration" tab.
Apple AirPlay 2
The T778 can be integrated into an Apple network via AirPlay 2 and then selected directly as a playback device for your music stream via your Mac, iPhone or iPad. And if you have activated Siri voice control on your Apple device, all you have to do is say "Hey Siri, play the current Paul McCartney album" or "Hey Siri, play NDR 2" and your NAD home cinema system will start playback immediately.
MQA - Studio master quality music
MQA is not a new file format, but an innovative way of packaging large music files with complex coding, efficient compression technology and a digital signature in such a way that even original studio master recordings in 24-bit/192 kHz format can be stored in comparatively small data packages packaged and made available online. For this purpose, the music data is packaged in any container such as ALAC, FLAC or WAV. When playing back via a decoder integrated in BluOS™, the player completely unpacks the file and returns it to its original format, the studio master file, without any loss.
Future-proof MDC modular system
MDC, short for Modular Design Construction, is NAD's measure against hi-fi systems that are too quickly obsolete. In particular, the technologies for A/V devices have been developing faster and faster in recent decades. Therefore, home theater fans who want new file formats, higher bandwidth High Speed HDMI connections or additional height channels for surround playback like Dolby Atmos® want to use are forced to regularly replace their A/V receiver or amplifier. NAD's MDC policy is to integrate all age-sensitive technologies on a high-quality plug-in card that can be quickly and easily exchanged for a newer version by a qualified technician. In addition, the MDC modules enable individual assembly of the corresponding NAD amplifiers.

I've been flirting with this A/V receiver for a long time. I had been told to wait for a successor for a long time. Somehow it bothered me that this has not yet received a new HDMI upgrade. The question I asked myself with longer and longer waits: "Do I even need the current HDMI standard with 8K?". The answer is: "No!" why? My home cinema is equipped with a native 4K projector and an upgrade to 8K projection makes no sense at all in terms of distance. All other features were and are irrelevant for me. So why wait? Bought! And I don't regret a second. The NAD was the long-awaited part of my home cinema that was still missing and replaces a Pioneer A/V receiver that is completely outdated.

Since I already have a BluOS MultiRoom system, I needed an A/V receiver that also supports BluOS. After a short research I came across NAD and then let Heimkinowelten advise me again. Here everything was confirmed to me again and then it was struck. Met all expectations. An A/V receiver that sounds very warm and dynamic and is really fun with the speakers I use. Everything looks very alive.
