Customer Reviews
Although I purchased a refurbished NAD T758 V3i, I believe that I received an older model T-758 that may have been upgraded with modules. From my research, I believe NAD first released the T758, then the T758 V3, then the T758 V3i (the front of the reciever's body indicates T758 in white print on all these models). When I powered up the unit, the Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) indicated T-758, whereas online photos of the newest model indicate T 758 V3i on the VFD. The packing carton indicated it was a T758 V3i. When configuring the unit, it is recommended to complete a firmware update with an internet connection, as well as a BlueOS upgrade. Internet and BlueOS connectivity are achieved using a supplied USB 3-port splitter hub with a Wi-Fi dongle and Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter. However, my splitter hub was defective. I contacted Lenbrook's Ecommerce Sales Administrator who responded promptly with help. She investigated with the matching serial numbers from the unit and packing box.
I was asked to use a shipping label sent to me and return the unit by prepaid courier. The Audio Factory sent me a new replacement unit. This was all done over a couple of days. I was puzzled to find that the replacement unit also displayed T758 on startup in the VFD and not T758 V3i. Introduced in 2006, this NAD receiver is Modular Design Construction (MDC) and upgradable as technology improves. The packing carton indicated the unit had the AM 230 (Dolby Atmos $899 retail) and VM 130i (4K video $849 retail) modules installed which was correct. The USB hub, Wi-Fi dongle and BluOS device worked this time. I was able to do the firmware and BluOS upgrades. I found the downloadable PDF Owner's Manual for the T758 is tedious to work through for the receiver's set up...you need time and patience. I'm pleased with the receiver and performance with large Klipsch speakers all around in 7.1 setup, and I hope it lasts a long time. I have a NAD 7600 stereo receiver from the mid-80s, which was considered the most powerful receiver at that time (maybe still) and it still works perfectly.
