BluOS Music Management and Control

BluOS is the operating system at the heart of the M10 that pulls music from the cloud or from a locally stored library and logically organizes it and makes it easily accessible. The user can easily play all their music from the internet including Apple AirPlay 2*. With over a dozen premium music services fully integrated, including High Res sources with full MQA decoding, the M10 opens the entire music catalog and puts it at their fingertips in Studio Master Quality.  

BluOS Whole-Home Audio System

BluOS is able to sync rooms together or play different music in different rooms all in High Resolution. The M10 can be combined with music players from NAD, Bluesound, and DALI with more products being added to the ecosystem every day there is an ideal product for every room and at a wide variety of price points.

A Master in Control Flexibility 

Completely operable by Wi-Fi connection to the BluOS App, one need never touch the M10. But as you approach the M10 the elegant, high resolution TFT color touch screen beckons as the graphic changes from ‘now playing’ to ‘control panel’ allowing many operations directly from the front panel without opening the App. M10 users can benefit from hands-free control of their music from any Amazon Alexa supported device or via Siri. The M10 is fully compatible with all the leading smart home systems from leading companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron and many others. This means that along with your lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, you can seamlessly control your BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface. An IR remote control is also included.

Elegant Design, Luxury Materials

Industrial design was commissioned to DF-ID, a renowned design firm associated with many of the world’s top luxury brands. Principal David Farrage utilize panels of glass and extrude aluminum to create a unique look for the M10 that is both elegant and understated at the same time.  

“The Masters M10 is a perfect example of an audiophile component that is luxurious and smart yet at the same time, discreet.”, stated Greg Stidsen, NAD’s Chief Technology Officer. “It can effectively perform the same function that required a rack full of components just a few years ago and in many ways, is superior. Though the elegant form factor of the M10 takes up very little space and could be hidden away, but with its attractive design and striking display, why would you want to?” 

Price and Availability

The NAD Masters Series M10 will be available in February 2019 for $2,499. Now selling for $2,749 at Crutchfield.
