Until now, there has not been a safe and convenient way to store music. Anyone with a computer knows that Hard Disc Drives can fail without warning, often destroying all the data stored. If you have spent many hours creating your music collection from CD's and downloads, the prospect of losing all that work and value and starting over again is simply unthinkable.
The M52 brings enterprise level protection for your valuable music collection. Using a Redundant Array of Independent Discs (RAID 5) technology, the M52 utilizes three Hard Disc Drives to make it 'impossible' to damage your music collection. LED indicators on the front panel show the status of the HDD's an alert the user to failure. Even when a disc drive fails, there is no loss in data in this self-healing system. Simply replace the drive and the system automatically reconfigures itself.
Inside the rugged steel chassis resides an ultra-low-noise 3 terabyte HDD array. Special low RPM media drives run cool and quiet and do not require fans like HDD's engineered for general computing. Engineered to suppress vibration the chassis also looks and feels like the high-end audio component it is. There is even an energy saving program to reduce energy consumption while still allowing fast wake up.
With its convenient size and good looks, the M52 can happily reside in the listening room adjacent to the M50 Digital Music Player. Combine this duo with the mighty M2 Direct Digital Amplifier or the M51 Direct Digital DAC for the most advanced High Definition digital music playback. NAD calls this combination the Masters Digital Music Suite, and it truly is a masterpiece of digital innovation.
