NAD VISO 1 Wireless Digital Music System

NAD's first Apple dock is stylish and sounds great, but is that enough?

Unique yet familiar design, Wonderful onboard DAC, Best Bluetooth audio we've heard, Superb bass response

Expensive for feature set, No AirPlay or Auxiliary Input, Won't fit an iPad, Less powerful than rivals

NAD Viso 1 AP review

Smooth, refined, balanced sound ; Lovely design ; Good connections

Could sound a little punchier ; No 3.5mm input

Great sound, great looks and good connections: this is an excellent all-rounder

NAD Viso 1

Smooth, cohesive and hugely powerful sound, extensive specification, fine looks

Very little, save that it doesn’t include AirPlay support, unlike some rivals

A bold and brilliant newcomer to the dock class, the Viso 1 is an all-round success

The NAD VISO 1 has a lot of technology that lovers of NAD will absolutely care about. The high end DACs and proprietary amplifiers are sure to impress even neophytes. But functionality is limited.

NAD VISO 1 Wireless Music system

The NAD VISO 1 was an immediate hit in my household from the moment it was uncrated. Between my roommate and myself, it received Bluetooth input from an iPad 2, iPhone 4, and iPod touch 2G. The dock played host to two iPod nano 6Gs and two nano 2Gs in...

NAD VISO 1

NAD first made a name for itself in Britain in the late 1970s, creating deceptively simple yet high-quality audio gear that gave those on a tight budget an entry point into the world of the audiophile.

Fantastic, audiophile-quality sound; simple to use

Hassles changing from Bluetooth to dock

This is our new favourite iPod docking system – it ticks all the boxes from simple to sophisticated. Sure, it’s a hair under $700 but there are plenty of systems that cost as much and don’t sound as good.

NAD Viso 1

NAD's entry to the speaker dock market is remarkable in a number of ways. First, it is entirely digital, taking a digital signal, performing all its EQ and processing digitally, and even amplifying digitally, with only a simple HF filter circuit on the...
