Description
The NAD D 3020 V2 is a compact stereo integrated amplifier, conceived as the modern extension of the original NAD 3020. It retains the spirit of simplicity of the latter while incorporating current digital uses, so as to form the heart of a hi-fi system capable of accommodating both a turntable and a digital source.
This amplifier combines an MM phono input, intended for a turntable fitted with a moving magnet cartridge, with an aptX Bluetooth connection as well as coaxial and optical digital inputs, allowing a computer, smartphone or media box to be connected without going through an analogue input. It delivers an output power of 30 W RMS per channel, with a dynamic power rated at 100 W, a difference that reflects its ability to respond to a track's energy peaks without being limited to its continuous power. An amplified headphone output, with its own volume control, completes the unit and allows for individual listening with demanding headphones.
This model is aimed at a user wanting a compact and versatile system, combining a vinyl source and modern digital sources without complexity, in a living room or office where space must remain limited. It will suit both a music lover rediscovering vinyl and a listener favouring streaming or headphone listening.
What to check before buying used
On the D 3020 V2, the headphone output and its dedicated potentiometer deserve testing at different volume levels to rule out any crackling or imbalance between channels. The coaxial and optical digital inputs as well as the aptX Bluetooth module should be checked with an actual source, as a recognition fault or intermittent dropouts are not always apparent on first try. The MM phono input is also worth checking with a turntable actually connected, as a poorly used connector or gain setting can result in excessive hiss.
