General Comments
spent 2 weeks listening to various cd players, sony, nad, rotel, arcam, denon and marantz models all around the 300 - 400 pounds price. Was difficult to decide for me, between the rotel model and the nad 541, but opted for the nad because have had nad equipment before and has proved very reliable, saying that, so has rotel equipment i have had. First machine i recieved from empire electricals, was faulty from day one, had to return it to their repair centre in bradford, after 2 weeks or so. I have to say at this point that this didnt reflect on nad, or the importers of the nad equipment.I had no end of problems with empire, who really didnt know what they were doing.After a week i chased the machine up through empire who told me the machine had been returned to the importers for repair. I contacted them , and they were quite concerned, telling me they hadnt got the machine.The very helpful people there, chased it up and contacted me telling me they had finally recieved it, and was being repaired. When i recieved the machine back from empire, and wired it up, was horrified to see the chassis was contorted, and it didnt sit on all four feet properly.Contacted them and after some serious word exchanging they provided me with a new machine.Have to say i am very impressed with it, never skips, great speed access, excellent sound, unimposing looks.Currently using it with ROTEL,thx power amps, ROTEL dd pre amp processor, Monitor Audio 8i loudspeakers, and its a pretty difficult player to wrong foot, great machine,
On average, people found this review very helpful

The C542 replaces NAD?s venerable C541i. With the worldwide acclaim and numerous awards for outstanding performance and value, it is fair to ask why NAD would "mess with success".
