Brand new version of NM24
 $1,590.00

The reason for the Solid State DAC in addition to the tube DAC:

Many customers want tubes for the liquidity
Others want maximum accuracy (from the Solid State)
Others want deep bass(easier attainable from SS) and a subwoofer outlet
Yet others want a coupling transformer that couples the SS DAC back
into the Line Amp section for an instant A/B comparison.
Others want to have a SS reference when they insert different tubes.

A few words on the new Model NM24:

It's  three units in one package:
a tube DAC
a solid state DAC
a tube Line Amp.

You may evaluate the sound of the Solid State DAC by
feeding its output (the Upper Analog out
terminals on the rear panel, see picture) back
into M24's Line In, either directly with
a good (short) RCA interconnect, or better still,
through a coupling transformer (more on this later)

Then you can instantly compare the difference of
the Solid State DAC and the Tube  DAC by
pushing the button next to the volume control.
The Solid State version is designed to yield a slightly lower level.
It can of course be used with other Line Amps.
