KEF R3

[Synak]

Hi, I have KEF R3 and NAD C 368, I would like to use NAD C 368 with Airplay 2 and MQA like the PRE-AMP from iPhone 14 and Looking for optimal AMP without Bluetooth or WiFi. The Connection —> KEF R3 -> NAD (like pre-AMP) -> ? (AMP). Thank you for every advice !

Welcome to the WHF forum.

I’m a bit confused by your description. We usually describe the signal from source to speakers. So I think you’re saying:-

iPhone 14 source > NAD C368 amplifier > KEF R3 speakers. Is that correct?

Are you trying to avoid Bluetooth for your streaming from the iPhone? If so, why? If you want an alternative, I believe the NAD has a streaming capability. Please explain what you are trying to achieve and we might be able to help.
