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.
