Hi-fi deal alert! One of our favourite 5-star amps has crashed to its lowest price ever

may technically be weeks away, but you can already pick up the stellar amplifier for its best price ever, thanks to this early deal. The deal is live now on Sevenoaks Sound and Vision and , an impressive £120 saving on its regular £399 price. That's the lowest price we've ever seen it retail for.

If the price alone isn't enough to tempt you, we can also personally attest to the NAD D 3020 V2 amp's performance. Not only did the tiny amp impress us enough to score a perfect five-star rating when we reviewed it at launch, it also remains a staple feature and sight in our test rooms as it's a class leader, despite its age. We said as much in our review, where our testers concluded: "If you can find another digital amplifier with this many features, which is this easily accommodated, and sounds better for the money, then we’d love to know about it.



" The upright-orientated amp is certainly different from most traditional integrateds, that’s for sure – it's faithful to the classic 1970 original design that was incredibly popular, and the V2 model remains just as appealing as before. There's ample connectivity here for such a compact amp: a moving-magnet phono stage alongside optical, coaxial and RCA inputs, meaning you could plug in a turntable, a CD player, or a streamer. There's also a nod to modern audiences, too, with Bluetooth aptX streaming on board.

The D 3020 V2 isn't merely an interesting face with decent features, though. Class D amplification with 30W per channel is on offer, but that's more than plenty to drive compact speakers and deliver an entertaining sound. The presentation is tonally even with a natural balance throughout, while detail levels are great for this price too.

However, it's the NAD's strengths with timing and dynamics that will really win you over – it's an engaging approach that gets to the heart and spirit of any song. And it's a sound that will complement any speakers or source you connect it to, making it a very versatile little amp indeed. It's for all those reasons that the NAD D 3020 V2 has remained high in the team's affections for a number of years now.
