High-res music streaming for a multi-zone audio system
NAD's CI 580 V2 four-zone network player can serve as the basis for a whole-home sound system. It streams music from popular online services like Spotify®, TIDAL, iHeart Radio, and more. The proprietary BluOS operating system allows creation of a wireless multi-room system with compatible Bluesound wireless speakers.
Flexible features for custom installations
The CI 580 V2 is rack-mountable, and can be hidden out of sight in a centralized location, like a closet or basement. It features four sets of RCA analog preamp outputs plus four optical and coaxial digital outputs for connecting to a single multi-channel amp or multiple zone amplifiers. Analog and digital inputs let you add additional sources to your multi-zone system. And USB Type A and Type B inputs let you stream high-res files from a connected computer or drive.
A free app with advanced control options
Operate your system via Wi-Fi® using the BluOS Controller app with your Apple® or Android™ device, or your Windows® or Mac® computer. It gives you flexible control over your music system, letting you access, control, and stream music to different BluOS-enabled zones. Synchronize multiple audio zones, or stream different music to different zones at the same time. You can even use your Apple Watch to control your system.
