Adding to its high-performance A/V line of products, NAD introduced the M56 Blu-ray player at CES 2010.
The Profile 2.0 (BD-Live) M56 delivers 1080p/24fps images via HDMI, 1080i via component video, and can upconvert DVDs to 1080p.
Its audio performance supports 7.1 LPCM, Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio via HDMI. It also includes 7.1 multichannel analog audio outputs and has the ability to playback CDs encoded with MP3 and WMA digital files.
NAD uses the same industrial design for the M56 as its other Master Series products.
Price: $2,000
An absolute rip-off. Most of the features here are standard at this point (excluding the multi-ch. analog outs), and it’s not even equipped with wireless capability or network streaming support of any kind.
You can get the Oppo BDP-83 for only $500, and it comes with everything here, with the addition of superior upscaling courtesy of Anchor Bay’s VRS chip.

Yeah, I’m having a hard time understanding the value of these “high end” blu-ray players. Name one advantage they have over a $300-$500 player. There aren’t any.
