a random selection of all tracks on the disc in play, and  
REPEAT allows repeat playing of either the entire disc, or  
individual tracks. Individual tracks can be quickly accessed  
using the SKIP function (Forward and Back), and the  
SCAN function (Forward and Back) gives an aural précis  
of individual tracks, giving the listener the opportunity to  
reach specific sections of the track.

The Electro-Luminescent backlit display provides clear  
and understated, yet comprehensive information to the  
listener. The track number is displayed, and for those who  
regularly transfer CDs to cassette, MiniDisc or CD-R, the  
button displays the current time elapsed or remaining for  
complete CDs. A “calendar” type section in the display  
gives immediate visual information of how many tracks in  
total there are on the CD.

As an excellent example of Bjorn Erik Edvardsen’s*  
“10/10 Rule”, we have added Erik’s initials to our  
“Best Buy” CD Player, the C 521. Erik’s 10/10  
Rule states that the ideal for high value products is  
achieved when it costs 10 times more money to get  
only a 10% increase in performance. While some  
people will gladly spend to get that last gram of  
musical pleasure, for the vast majority of music lovers  
the C 521BEE offers that sweet spot where spending  
less gets a lot less, and spending more gets only a  
small incremental improvement.  
Not all digital outputs are equal. In the case of the NAD  
C 521BEE, careful attention has been paid so that best use  
can be made of the ever increasing number of products  
now available with digital inputs (CD, MD recorders,  
computer sound cards, outboard D to A converters, etc.).  
Unusually at this price point, the coaxial output is buffered  
and isolated by a transformer from the converter itself  
and the output impedance has been carefully tailored to  
produce a precise 75 ohms impedance to ensure perfect  
matching. This attention to detail reduces the timing errors  
(jitter) that could otherwise distort the digital data stream.  
As always, sonic performance is the first priority at  
NAD. We think that even the most critical music  
listeners will appreciate the fluid dynamics, spacious  
sound, and refined harmonic textures the C 521BEE  
is able to extract from their favorite performances  
on Compact Disc. Whether your musical taste leans  
toward the expansive majesty of a full symphony  
orchestra, the driving beat and raw energy of rock,  
or the warm intimacy of the a capella voice, the  
C 521BEE never gets in the way of the musical  
expression.  
The Model C 521BEE comes supplied with the new  
NAD CD-6 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 20 tracks can be  
programmed. It is possible to delete tracks without using  
the program function by simply using the delete key.  
Separate power regulators for the digital and analogue  
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 20 bit high  
resolution Burr-Brown S-D Digital-to-Analogue converter  
chip was chosen for its excellent low-level linearity and  
Features and Circuitry  
Creating one’s own favorite compilation CD-R  
and CD-RW’s on a CD Recorder is becoming ever  
more popular, and unlike ordinary CD players, the  
C 521BEE will easily play these discs. We have  
included a number of additional features to make your  
listening more enjoyable: RANDOM gives the listener
