NAD D 3020 V2 vs Rega Brio

NAD D 3020 V2 review

The power output per channel of this device is slightly lower than his opponent’s. Here we have 30/8 vs 58/8 W/Ohm. The D3020 V2 is an integrated amplifier, but, like most of the similar models that we have seen recently, it has something else besides the ranks of RCA sockets. NAD carefully studied the needs of modern music lovers and equipped its device with the very set of inputs that would be most useful. As a result, the D3020 V2 has only one analog line-in input on the RCA connectors, labeled Aux. According to the developers, this is quite enough to connect the signal sources of this type available to the modern music lover.

Rega Brio review

The input switching in the amplifier is performed on high-quality relays to reduce the length of the audio signal circuits, and a precision electric potentiometer is used as a volume control. The Brio circuit uses high-quality selective passive components, including film capacitors, and uses separate power circuits for low- and high-current circuits. The amplifier is equipped with a remote control, and Rega engineers made sure that this circuit did not affect the sound quality of the device. The remote control system is powered by a separate source, and its control microcontroller is completely isolated from audio circuits.
