Modern and Refined

The C 568 takes the superb performance of our 5-star rated C 565BEE and steps it up to the next level. Every aspect of sonic performance is enhanced and refined, making the C 568 the ideal companion to our C 368 amplifier, or any system in need of a performance upgrade.

Besides the new, more refined cosmetics, the circuit layout and component choices of the C 568 have been extensively updated since the C 565BEE’s reign. The cumulative effect of these changes is dramatic, improving low frequency slam and extension, while maintaining the pace and timing for which the C 565BEE was so lavishly praised. Image depth and scale are further enhanced while retaining the timbral accuracy and lucid harmonic structure of its predecessor.

现代化和精细化

C 568将C 565BEE的卓越性能提升到了一个新的高度。C 568的每一个方面的音质性能都得到了增强和完善，使C 568成为C 368功放或任何需要性能升级的系统的理想伴侣。

除了全新的、更精致的外观，C 568的电路布局和元件选择也在C 565BEE之后进行了广泛的更新。这些变化的累积效果是巨大的，改善了低频砰砰声和延伸，同时保持了C 565BEE被大肆称赞的节奏和时机。画面深度和音阶进一步增强，同时保留了前代产品的音色精度和清晰的谐波结构。

Features and Circuitry

Creating one’s own favourite compilation CD-R and CD-RW’s on a CD ripper is becoming ever more popular, and unlike older CD players, the C 568 will easily play these discs, even those encoded with MP3 and WMA compression. Nearly 10 hours of music can be recorded onto one CD-R when using 128kps compression allowing ‘all day’ background music listening. We have also included a number of additional features to make your listening more enjoyable: RANDOM gives the listener a random selection of all tracks on the disc in play, and REPEAT allows repeat playing of either the entire disc or individual tracks. Individual tracks can also be quickly accessed using the SKIP function (Forward and Back), while the SCAN function (Forward and Back) gives listeners the opportunity to reach specific sections of the track.

Moreover, the Vacuum Fluorescent Display provides clear and comprehensive information to the listener. The track number is displayed, and for those who regularly record CDs, the button displays the current time elapsed or remaining for complete CDs or individual tracks.

特点和电路

在CD翻录机上制作自己喜欢的CD-R和CD-RW的合辑CD-R和CD-RW越来越流行，与老式CD机不同的是，C 568可以轻松地播放这些光盘，即使是MP3和WMA压缩的CD-R，也可以轻松地播放。当使用128kps压缩技术时，一张CD-R可以录制近10个小时的音乐，允许 ''全天 ''聆听背景音乐。我们还加入了一些额外的功能，让您的聆听更有乐趣。RANDOM功能让听众可以随机选择播放光盘上的所有曲目，而REPEAT功能可以重复播放整张光盘或个别曲目。使用 SKIP 功能（前向和后向）也可以快速进入单个曲目，而 SCAN 功能（前向和后向）则让听众有机会进入曲目的特定部分。

此外，真空螢光顯示屏能為聽者提供清晰而全面的資訊。轨迹编号显示，对于经常录制CD的人来说，按钮显示的是当前完整CD或个别曲目的剩余时间。

It’s All About the Detail

In the case of the NAD C 568, careful attention has been paid so that best use of the ever-increasing number of products now available with digital inputs (outboard D to A converters, AV Receivers, etc) can be made. The coaxial output is buffered and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself, and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to produce a precise 75 Ohm impedance to ensure perfect matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors (jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream. An optical Toslink output is also provided allowing connection to devices that only provide this option.

Supplied with the new NAD CD-8 full function remote control, the C 568 offers all the features described above from the comfort of your listening chair. On top of that, the remote control handset gives you direct track access and programming facilities, saving the user’s time when they’re storing preferred song titles. Up to 20 tracks can be programmed with the ability to delete tracks without using the program function by simply using the DELETE key.

The 24-bit high resolution Wolfson WM8741 DAC chip of the C 568 was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. Furthermore, a high precision Crystek Clock Module reduces digital jitter to unprecedented levels, making the C 568 a great platform for adding an exotic high-end DAC. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are also used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response.

Delivering a rewarding and outstanding performance, the C 568 has set a new benchmark in the world of CD players.

细节决定成败

在NAD C 568的情况下，我们对其进行了细致的关注，以使现在越来越多的带数字输入的产品（外置D转A转换器、AV接收机等）能够得到最佳的利用。同轴输出由转换器本身的变压器进行缓冲和隔离，输出阻抗也经过精心定制，以产生精确的75欧姆阻抗，确保完美匹配。这种对细节的关注，减少了可能导致数字数据流失真的时序误差（抖动）。还提供了一个光学Toslink输出，允许连接到只提供此选项的设备。

C 568配备了全新的NAD CD-8全功能遥控器，让您在舒适的听歌椅上就能实现上述所有功能。除此之外，遥控器听筒还提供了直接的曲目访问和编程功能，节省了用户存储喜欢的歌曲时的时间。在不使用程序功能的情况下，只需按下DELETE键，就可以在不使用程序功能的情况下，对最多20首曲目进行编程，并可删除曲目。

C 568选用的24位高分辨率的Wolfson WM8741 DAC芯片，凭借其出色的低电平线性度和细节检索能力，使C 568成为了一个很好的平台。此外，高精度的Crystek时钟模块将数字抖动降低到了前所未有的水平，使C 568成为加入异国高端DAC的绝佳平台。在关键区域还采用了金属薄膜电阻和聚丙烯电容，确保了高精度的频率响应。

C 568提供了令人满意的卓越性能，为世界CD播放器树立了新的标杆。
