Blu-ray player NAD T567
The simplicity and conciseness can be attractive if aesthetically understood and conceptual. As an example, the design of the player NAD. The company, by the way, has always gravitated to this style, but in the model T567, it is expressed, in my opinion, the most successful. Tray loader made extremely thin and tucked away under the display, controls the drive and the USB connector on the front panel hidden under the cover, which are duplicated only two eloquent button - OPEN/CLOSE and STOP (as a hint: the main thing in our lives - and to act in time to stop).
Rear too austere, but the idea of moderation and expression found here: deleted analog interfaces, but not all - there are component analog video outputs. Spare them, probably for compatibility with older TVs that are still in use. Sound can be transmitted if there is no HDMI, optics or coax. Feeling of "emptiness" patch panel connected with the fact that the antenna is built-in Wi-Fi-internal adapter that does not prevent it from being sufficiently sensitive.
Very comfortable firm control, but it glossy and contrasts sharply with the dull modest appearance of the player. Which does not interfere with additional rubber antivibration legs - they are included in the kit and put on top of the ordinary.
Support services are not new-fangled network, but playback of multimedia content over the network possible. However, the list of file types includes a standard set, limited protocol implementation DLNA, FLAC and it does not include. Moreover, this format is not supported by all players. To gain access to resources on the USB-drive or network, you must remove the disk from the boot loader - it is logical.
Detailed image settings, opened with the remote button PICTURE.
Selection of the "problem" movies passed partially - the device can not read files m2ts and ts (which is odd), but MKV reproduced, although before that and gave a message that can not do this.
Tests "HQV Test Benchmark" - all is well, except for fragments with noise, even after the withdrawal of intensity noise reduction to the maximum picture is not completely cleared.
Is manifested and DVD-movies - sometimes in sight "grain". Basically, do not worry - you can enhance the noise reduction on the TV.
Drive fast - loading Blu-ray takes 17 - 26 seconds. Image quality is clearly better than DVD, and priced unit matches.
Since analog outputs no sound, had to confine digital test. In the role of transport neutral player, although the end result will still depend on the DAC, in particular, on the work of its circuits jitter. In my converter are very effective, so transport should be all bad, that it affected the sound. NAD T567 but not one of them.
