Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Random guess

The only explanation I can think of involves the extremely high gain of modern opamps(or differential discrete gain stages) that are likely used in the NAD to buffer the inputs. If the interconnect impedance somehow interacts with the gain controlling feedback impedance of the input stage(parasitic resonances etc.) you might see effects like yours. I remember designing a push/pull on/off VFET driver circuit once without understanding the concept of Miller effect that "amplifies" input capacitance. In my design the effect didn't let one VFET turn off before the other turned on creating a momentary direct short between B+ and ground everytime the state changed. Needless to say that was not a good thing.:)
