IIn What HiFi's April 2009 issue, this player performed so well against the other top brands that it even toppled the mighty Marantz 6002 (last years Product of the Year) down to 4 stars. Yep, its that good !

The C 545BEE takes the superb performance of our 5-star rated C 515BEE and steps it up to the next level. Every aspect of sonic performance is enhanced and refined making the C 545BEE the ideal companion to our C 355BEE amplifier or any system in need of a performance upgrade.

The Model C 545BEE comes supplied with the new NAD CD-8 full function remote control, offering all of 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, as well, saving the user’s time when they’re storing preferred song titles. Up to 40 tracks can be programmed. It is possible to delete tracks without using the program function by simply using the CLEAR key.

Separate power regulators for the digital and analog sections isolate the two electrically, reducing interference effects. Furthermore, careful layout of the PCB tracks around the Digital-to-Analogue converter helps to contain RF radiation and interference. The 24 bit high resolution Burr Brown Digital-to-Analogue converter chip was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and detail retrieving capabilities. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors are used in key areas to ensure a highly accurate frequency response. High quality Burr Brown OPA2134 op-amps are used instead of the much lower grade and type used in lesser players. Apart from the single film type output capacitor, no other capacitors are used in the signal path. The output impedance is very low at 300 ohms, making the NAD C 545BEE less sensitive to cables or the ancillary equipment it is partnered with.

We urge you to listen to the NAD C 545BEE with a wide range of program material and with the best ancillary equipment to fully appreciate the refinement of this modest looking – and by High End standards inexpensive – CD player. You can spend a lot more money for a CD player, but we think you’ll have a difficult task finding a more musically complete and rewarding performance than that offered by the NAD C 545 BEE. A new benchmark has been set.
