(TosLink) SPDIF formats, as well as I/2 S digital format via the
HDMI output. DVD-Audio uses the Dolby licensed MLP lossless
compression to produce PCM formatted high resolution signals
with 24 bits and up to 192kHz sample rates. MLP perfectly shrinks
the very high data rates of DVD-Audio – up to 13.8 Mbps – to the
DVD limit of 9.6 Mbps without losing any data. This compares
with data rates of approximately 1.5 Mbps for CD, and as little as
0.03 Mbps for MP3 encoded audio.
Dolby Digital and Dolby ProLogic decoding is also included, as
is support for MP3 and Windows Media Audio. The NAD T585
uses audiophile quality 24-bit, 192-kHz audio D/A converters.
These devices are well protected from noise caused by even
minute fluctuations in current from the power supply. The level
of quantization noise within the frequency range is uniform for all
frequencies and very well suppressed. This D/A converter ensures
that all the sound you hear is as clear and noise-free as possible.
High speed FET output devices keep all the detail present in high
resolution SACD and DVD-Audio formats, perfectly intact.
Digital Bass Management is available for all surround sound
formats. This prevents bass frequencies from overloading and
distorting your speakers by ‘redirecting’ them to your subwoofer
which is specially designed to handle the lowest octaves. When
playing DVD-Video, DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD sources, it is
possible to preset speaker configurations. The crossover point is
selectable with 12 dB high and 24 dB low pass filter slopes.
The NAD T585 is also equipped with SRS’s True Surround circuit,
a high-grade surround virtualizer that lets you enjoy the excitement
of 5-channel audio when only using 2 speakers.
Video Performance
The T585 features a Dual Discrete Video Circuit (D.D.V.C.) for the
highest possible picture quality via the Component Video output.
An extremely high-speed video D/A converter is a very critical
component in generating superior quality video playback from DVD.
The NAD T585, therefore, uses the high quality Analog Devices
12-bit, 216-MHz video DAC and a second 10-bit, 27MHz DAC
from Cirrus Logic to ensure highly accurate playback of delicate,
low-level video signals. This produces a vivid picture that is faithful
in every detail. Over sampling of 4x is achieved for Progressive
and 8x for interlaced video signals, allowing more detailed D/A
conversion. Higher quality picture reproduction is also possible
thanks to a filter with flexible ‘shutout characteristics’ that is
used for the analog filter in the latter stage. Furthermore, the
NAD T585 uses two separate video D/A converters to process
Progressive and Interlaced signals. This eliminates mutual
interference between the Progressive and Interlaced signals and
allows both a Standard Definition and a High Definition picture to
be output simultaneously – a great feature for sending video to a
second viewing zone.
Progressive Scan features the DCDi processor by Faroudja.
Progressive Scan technology represents a vast improvement over
the interlaced scanning method used in normal TV broadcasts and
other conventional applications, as it can process around twice
as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free picture with
finer details. Video images are faithfully displayed with optimum
naturalness and beauty.
A wealth of picture quality adjustment functions, including Contrast,
Brightness, Hue, Sharpness, Black Level and Gamma, can all be
adjusted using the intuitive On Screen Display.
