Key Features
At its core, the D 3020 uses NAD’s Hybrid Digital amplification, delivering 30 watts per channel into 8Ω, backed by NAD’s PowerDrive technology, which is designed to sustain high dynamic power and low-impedance drive capability without the size, weight, or inefficiency of a conventional Class AB output stage. The amplifier’s built-in DAC accepts both digital and analogue sources, and the original D 3020 famously carried forward something of the giant-killing spirit of the 1978 original, with NAD noting that its phono stage in particular punched well above its price point. Connectivity includes optical and coaxial digital inputs, an analogue RCA input, and a moving magnet phono input, alongside subwoofer output, trigger in/out, and a fixed pre-out for driving a separate power amp or active subwoofer — a genuinely flexible set of connections for such a small unit.
