The Nupro AS-250 is my first device of Nubert. Many swear by the brand and its products, the journals overwhelm these often only with praise. With devil I had had bad experiences lately, and I was actually looking for a deck that improves the sound of the TV, better sound at BluRays offers (no vorgegaukelter surround sound) and listening to music you can more or less so. Thus, I decided for the AS-250.
Packed everything was very neat and safe, there is nothing to complain about. Joining was all relatively quickly, from both optical digital television and the YBA-11 Blutooth adapter via Coaxial Digital in the deck. WD TV Live, Pace Sky receiver and PS4 went via HDMI to the TV.
Well, the deck is difficult, but also keeps apparently a lot and makes a very high-quality impression, except for the remote control. She is not worthy of its name. My 10 radio outlet has had a similar case with. I find it a pity that here Nubert has saved. The pressure point is OK and they also react quite fluently, but the feel and appearance give inferior character.
As regards phonetic assessment:
Movies are quite vividly reproduced despite stereo, what I did not expect, and find it very good. Stereo music via MP3 (192kbit / s and higher) on your iPhone or iPad also sound very good, the bass and the treble / middle can optionally be adjusted. This thing can get pretty exert pressure, I would not have thought. I would what sound quality and sound As a Grade 1 awarded, better I would not have expected. Of course, the aural sensation is in every human being different and also depends on the spatial surround characteristics.
Among the features I do not want to write too much, the manual can be downloaded at Nubert on the homepage. But what bothers me is the fact that the Auto-On feature does not really work well.
Automatic is only switched on when both conditions are met:
The elimination of the AS-250 followed above automatically.
The same source / input on and off.
I have previously used, for example, the box for the TV over optical cable, it is not possible, the box via the analog inputs on again. For analog inputs should also be mentioned that it is not enough that the source unit is switched on, there must be something to be played.
Conclusion:
By class sound / sound together with the high-quality processing of the deck, minus the inferior remote control and the immature Auto-On function, I forgive four star.
Why journals in their extensive testing none of the negative aspects (remote control and auto-on feature) report, probably remains their secret.
