NAD Electronics has introduced their first Blu-ray Disc player, the
NAD T 587. This BD-Live player has the ability display video at 1080p24 as well as decode or bitstream all audio formats. A unique feature of this player is the ability to process both NTSC and PAL standard definition formats, making this an excellent player for imported Blu-ray titles that feature non compliant standard definition content.
Oddly enough, the player will not feature any multi-channel analog outs, meaning that the only way to get high definition audio out of the machine will be through HDMI connection.
The player is expected to hit store shelves next month for an estimated retail price of $1500.
