To list all the features would be going too far at this point. A look at the back, however, reveals that the NAD M33 houses quite a wide range of equipment. We definitely would like to see that more often! Looking only at the front, one could think that the M33 is a typical, sparsely equipped high-end device. However, these are not simply put on the base, but find their place in the supplied, magnetically adhering coasters. There is even more, because it is also worth looking at the underside of the M33: massive cones made of aluminum connect the unit to the ground. The screws literally fall into the conical cut-outs – that's really good metalwork. The accuracy of the exactly fitting heavy lid is also excellent. If we look at the top of the device, we see that the openings for cooling the components are cut out very precisely. Of course you can still enjoy looking at the pointers jumping around happily. While we are already complaining: Unfortunately, the display instruments (which can be switched off) do not show the power output, but the input level instead – a peculiarity that probably only few users can identify and appreciate. In the end, though, that is a matter of taste. At the moment, it is somewhere between smooth and velvety. However, we would have liked it to be a little smoother or if it were a latching step switch. By implementing the large, touch-sensitive display, the number of other operating elements was reduced drastically – only the sizable volume control catches the eye. This is primarily due to the solid aluminum front panel and the black frame attached to it. Despite some unmistakable similarities in the display, the NAD M33 already looks and feels much more dignified than the smaller M10.
