Great Streamer
Solid Device. No frills just good quality. I highly recommend this streamer if you don’t need all the bells and whistles but demand quality sound…

Don’t forget to setup Bluetooth on the rear side!
Front End Nad CS1The affordable Frontend NAD CS1 is not designed to connect out of the box with the integrated Bluetooth for example to my Apple neighborhood (Mac mini, iPhone 15, iPad 8) and a Klipsch Bluetooth speaker.First you have to let start the automatic soft-/firmware download in an adequate area (Internet) then you have to make a setup at the rear side of the NAD CS1: below ‘Setup’ you’ll find that tiny hole!Now the NAD CS1 Bluetooth is enabled I had to find and connect the NAD CS1 in the iPhone Bluetooth register where it appears with an additional four digit code.Besides Bluetooth and Internet connectivity the NAD CS1 has RCA, optical, Coax and Ethernet connections.There is only one button and a multicolor LED: learning by doing! Blue light - Bluetooth ready!It’s a Frontend and there doesn’t exist any App to access the Nad frontend. But the NAD CS1 is Roon Ready and works with this Music Service (and other) out of the box.If you have trouble with the NAD please read this:‘NAD CS1 review: a bare-bones network streamerBy Simon Cohen’At last I’m exited with my NAD CS1 it’s amazing how smoothly it works in a surrounding with Internet and Bluetooth and besides furthermore connectivity there areremarkable useful utensils for international electrical connections.All in all 4.9!

Disappointed
I really wanted to like this unit because I have an NAD 20 year old receiver that still works and sounds great. Looks wise it’s a great match. They claim easy to connect, but I had to search several places online to find a way to get it to connect to my iPad Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro. Trying to reconnect after turning off was difficult. When it was connected, sound quality was lifeless and compressed compared to DAC and Bluetooth adapter it was to replace because after a few years something stopped working. I’m returning the unit the next day, and renewing my search for a better solution.

Nice hardware. Garbage software and instructions
Could not connect my phone to it. Both the quickstart instructions and the latest manual of the NAD website were useless. iOS app never found the device, even when i successfully connected to its Soft AP. Could use it as an airplay receiver using wired ethernet but could never connect from iOS to adjust any settings using the app. Returned. Shame too because the hardware and features look nice. I especially liked having a 12V trigger output.

Simple, small, Solid and reliable.
Bought this lil guy to match up to my c368 and with it coming in 200 bucks cheaper than NAD’s MDC card to stream, I feel like I lucked out. I also prefer the dac in the CS1 compared to the amp. Matches great, although it’s super tiny on top of that big amp but that’s ok: it isn’t blocking and of the breathing holes on top!I plugged an Ethernet into it from my gigabit switch and voila! It’s never shutdown or lost connection in the 8 months I’ve had it and we’ve put hundreds of hours on this thing as we don’t watch tv. Can’t speak for its WiFi but I prefer the sound of chrome cast by way of ROON but idk if we chalk that up to the cs1, Google or roon.My only complaint would be no aux out but that’s ok, I can plug laptop directly into the amp.

Great device that works perfectly with Roon and AirPlay.
This was an upgrade for me from a Belkin AirPlay adpater. Sound quality is much better, plus this device works better with Roon and allows me to control my attached NAD D3020 DAC/AMP via Roon. It's more expensive than most solutions, but rock solid. Worth it for me!

Average Streamer for the Price
The sound quality seems better than the Topping DX3+. Does has some shortcomings though. I had to scale back to WAP2 security on my WIFI router in order to use the CS1 because the CS1 does not work with WAP3. WAP3 came out in 2018 and it is 2023 now. If I don't use the CS1 for awhile, I can no longer connect to it via WIFI. NAD support said that was deal for for now, but they notified their quality assurance team. They said to unplug for 2 minutes, and then wait for 5 minutes after plugging it in before trying to connect.
