The CS1 network streamer from NAD adds streaming playback functionality to an existing stereo or home theater system. It can also be connected directly to powered speakers to create a compact system suitable for spaces like an office or a relaxation room.
The CS1 is compatible with several popular streaming protocols, including Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, as well as DLNA and Roon apps. It supports playback of high-resolution audio files up to 24-bit/192 kHz, using components designed for high-quality audio reproduction.
Stream Your Way
You don’t need to install any special apps to listen to music via the NAD CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer. Thanks to Bluetooth, you can stream audio from any app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
You’ll get even better sound via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The CS1 supports AirPlay 2, allowing you to stream CD-quality audio from any app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or from an iTunes library on a Windows PC. With GoogleCast, you can select music from any Cast-compatible app on a mobile device or personal computer, then transfer playback to the CS1 at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz.
Spotify and Tidal subscribers can listen to music in those services’ apps, then transfer playback from their device to the CS1. Roon subscribers can play music from their digital libraries and from streaming services supported by Roon.
Superior Sound Quality
The CS1 network player features an advanced differential digital section based on Texas Instruments’ PCM5141 digital-to-analog converter, a design known for its wide dynamic range, low noise, and clock jitter immunity. It supports resolutions up to 24-bit/192 kHz and offers full MQA decoding and rendering capability to play Tidal’s Master Quality music.
Streaming doesn’t get any simpler than this. Pair the NAD CS1 Endpoint Network Streamer with your mobile device or connect it to your home network, then use your favorite apps to choose the music you want to hear. Then, sit back and enjoy outstanding high-fidelity sound.

I had a bit of trouble setting up the Wi-Fi connection, but now it's a delight. I'm much more interested in music than technology, and as a musician, I would say this is a beautiful instrument.

J'ai eu un peu de mal à paramétrer la connexion Wi-Fi, mais maintenant c'est un régal. Je suis beaucoup plus intéressé par la musique que par la technologie, et étant musicien je dirais que c'est un bel instrument.

This device is awesome 👍.
I'm thrilled, it took me a while to switch to streaming. I can listen to records that I wouldn't have bought or that are rare, especially Japanese jazz.

Cet appareil est génial 👍.
Je suis ravi, j’ai mis du temps pour passer au streaming. Je peux écouter des disques que je n’aurais pas achetés ou rare notamment du jazz japonais.

Excellent product.
I use the analog output which provides a good signal, the DAC seems to do its job well. The sound is clear, the soundstage is very present.
Installation is almost instantaneous. Works great on wifi, no need to go through an app, directly supports AirPlay or Chromecast without any issues!

Excellent produit.
J’utilise la sortie analogique qui donne un bon signal, le Dac semble bien faire son travail. Le son est net, la scène sonore est bien présente.
L’installation est quasi instantanée. Très bon en wifi, pas d’application par laquelle passer, directement le AirPlay ou le Chromcast sans coup férir !
