    NAD L53 DVD Receiver DVD doesnt work but can be used as a 2.1 receiver and has great sound
    Review as below
    The L53 boasts 50 watts per channel at 0.08% THD at rated power. IM distortion is similar while the frequency response is rated from 20Hz to 20kHz within half a dB either way with a signal to noise ratio of greater than 99dB. The power-amplifier stage is completely discrete with the amp well ventilated and only running warm to the touch. Op-amps, where they are used, are pro grade Burr Brown 2604s, a surprisingly extravagant choice in a product at this price-point.
    The tuner, which I was delighted to discover was clearly not an afterthought, has a frequency response of between 30Hz and 15kHz on FM. In mono, it professes a signal to noise ratio of 69dB (64dB in stereo) with 40 db of separation at 1 kHz and less than a fifth of a percent of distortion in mono. There are 30 presets — if only there were 30 stations worth presetting — and includes RDS. The AM section, while tested, was not used much but seemed fine.
    The built in CD/progressive DVD player is auto-sensing for Redbook CD, PAL and NTSC and does not appear particularly fussy about home made compilations or family videos transferred onto recordable DVDs. Frequency response on DVD and CD is quoted as running from 4Hz to 20kHz. Though it will display JPGs and play MP3s, it does not play SACD or DVD-Audio, though will play the included the PCM, AC3 and DTS tracks. MPEG duty is conducted by the well-regarded ESS Vibrato 2 chip set, with a 54MHz 10-bit video DAC. Audio is taken care of by Cirrus Logic's CS4391 DAC, which offers a theoretical 108dB dynamic range and plays however-many-bits-are-on-the-disc at whatever-sample-rate-they-are recorded-at, up to 24 bits at 192kHz.
    And even though the '53 is a one-box solution less speakers, you can happily add as many boxes as you like since it supports a decent enough compliment of spare inputs and outputs, including a VCR tape loop and input for a satellite receiver. Next to a decent single pair of speaker terminals (how things have improved from my 3020b with its push-clip terminals), the '53 sports composite and component outputs, and coaxial and optical digital outs. The European edition also includes a very versatile SCART jack.
    On the input side, there is coaxial and optical, 3 pairs of stereo, composite and S-video ins, including a convenient front-mounted stereo and composite and S-video input for use with a camcorder, video game or, dare I say it, an IPOD. There is NAD's usual IR link, FM and AM antenna terminals (included are starter aerials which picked up all the locals even from the basement) and a switched 120 volt power plug
