LAUNCHING AT MUNICH THE NAD C 379 HYBRIDDIGITAL DAC AMPLIFIER IS ACCESIBLY PRICED AT UNDER £900

The new addition to the NAD Electronics Classic Series is the NAD C 379 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier, which comes in at £899.

NAD Electronics has announced the launch of its new Classic Series amplifier, the NAD C 379 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier  at the High End Munich 2024 Show.

The C 379 builds on NAD’s commitment to innovation and value-driven performance with a design featuring a carefully engineered Class D output stage, ESS SABRE DAC, and the second generation of Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology for upgrades and expandability.

NAD C 379 HYBRIDDIGITAL DAC AMPLIFIER

The NAD C 379 utilises a customised UcD output stage with HybridDigital technology to deliver 80 watts of Continuous Power (into 8 and 4 Ohms) and 120 watts of Dynamic Power (4 Ohms). The C 379 can also be bridged with the C 268 Stereo Power Amplifier in a fully balanced configuration for 300 watts continuously and over 500 watts instantaneously.

POWER SUPPLY

The NAD C 379’s highly efficient power supply consumes less than half the power of many conventional amplifiers in its class while also providing clean power to all amplification stages. This energy-saving supply and balanced design also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions, say NAD.

“The NAD C 379 stands in a class of its own, integrating of every essential component of a high-performance music system and accommodating all music sources from vinyl to digital streaming, With its meticulous, low-noise circuits and the ability to enhance both its features and power output, this Class D integrated is a testament to the legacy of NAD’s Classic Series and our relentless pursuit of sonic excellence at an affordable price.” Cas Oostvogel, Product Manager of NAD Electronics.

DAC

The digital circuity is built around the ESS SABRE ES9028 DAC, one of the industry’s highest performance 32-bit digital-to-analogue converters.

MODULAR DESIGN CONSTRUCTION

Featuring the second generation of NAD’s Modular Design Construction, MDC 2, the         C 379 and its two expansion slots allow users to upgrade the amplifier’s capabilities with emerging A/V technologies and additional features through the module, including BluOS high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction. The available MDC2 BluOS-D module further enables seamless integration with BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2, and two-way aptX HD Bluetooth.

BLUOS

With BluOS, users can connect the C 379 to their home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and experience the most advanced multi-room wireless music management system with 24 bit/192kHz resolution. Controlled through the BluOS app for smartphone, tablet, or desktop, BluOS manages your digital music collection and connects to over 20 high-quality streaming music services including Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Spotify, and more.

Additionally, the NAD C 379 is equipped with a variety of analogue and digital connectivity including aptX HD Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, MM Phono stage, and two independent subwoofer outputs. The integrated amplifier also includes a built-in separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage capability, allowing it to drive a wide range of headphones.

The NAD C 379 will be available at the end of June 2024 for a suggested retail price of US $1,099 / EUR€ 1,199 / GBP £899.
