The C 316BEE lived up to expectations, garnering multiple accolades including an EISA award for 'Best Product 2008-2009' and top recommendations from the world's leading audio publications. With the resurgence of vinyl we decided to update the design by including NAD's highly acclaimed RIAA phono stage. This sophisticated circuit combines low noise with high overload margins to eliminate noise and distortion. RIAA equalisation is extremely accurate (a rarity at this price) and there is even an infrasonic filter to reject airborne vibrations that can cause parasitic feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProven Technology Enhanced by Innovation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNAD's PowerDrive Circuit has been proven to offer a remarkable combination of high current drive needed for complex loudspeaker loads, and high levels of undistorted dynamic power. By monitoring the precise operating condition of the power amplifier, PowerDrive uses this intelligence to automatically optimise the power supply settings for uniformly low distortion and maximum power in the real world of music listening. As featured in our top Masters Series models, PowerDrive uses a complex 'analogue computer' to determine the optimal settings. For the C 316BEE V2, NAD's Director of Advanced Development, Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, developed a clever new computation circuit requiring fewer parts at a much lower cost without any reduction in effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the hallmarks of NAD technology are present, from the generously sized toroidal power transformer and low ESR smoothing capacitors, to the multiple regulated secondary supplies, to the heavy duty discrete output transistors, the C 316BEE V2 is every bit as refined and sophisticated as other NAD amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eValue\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe are confident that the C 316BEE V2 will set new benchmarks for performance, both measured and audible, at this affordable price point. Unless you have power hungry speakers, listen at dangerously loud levels, or have a very large room, the C 316BEE V2 will be the amplifier for you. Fundamental specifications for noise, distortion, power, stereo separation, and volume control tracking, are all class leading and would be impressive on an amplifier costing many times its modest price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSimplicity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the C 316BEE V2 has everything necessary for musical enjoyment, it is refreshingly limited to the essentials: six inputs, one set of speakers, a headphone jack, and full function remote control. It has a compact size and a handsome yet understated exterior. It is essential NAD.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile its bells and whistles may not be as extensive as our more expensive offerings, the C 316V2 is far from a \"stripped down\" product. With five line level inputs, an MM Phono Input, full IR remote control, defeatable tone controls and a front panel input for a phone or tablet, the C 316V2 is fully equipped to be the control centre for a high performance music system. Continuous power is a conservative 40 watts, and dynamic power (more important for music listening) is impressively more than 100 watts! This is far more usable power on tap than other amplifiers at this price, and this power is available across the entire audible band at a class leading 0.03%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sonic result of this high technology is a relaxed and inviting sound that digs out the subtle details in your favourite recordings and presents them across a panoramic stereo sound stage. The impressive dynamic power reserves make the C 316BEE V2 sound both articulate and alive. The silent background and low distortion gives a sense of solidity and presence to your music and brings out the best your loudspeakers have to offer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Line Level Inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM Phono Input for Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Panel Input for Portable Media Players\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBass and Treble Controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Defeat (Bypass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadphone Output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR Remote Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-way Speaker Binding Posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold Plated RCA Jacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026lt;0.5W Standby consumption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch5\u003eLine In \/ Headphone Out53\u0026gt;\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20 Hz -

{"id":7726784217331,"title":"NAD M 33 BluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier","handle":"nad-m-33-blu","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIn its simplest form, the M33 BluOS enabled DAC\/amplifier is an ultra-high-performance streaming amplifier with superb audiophile sound.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a BluOS enabled component, the M33 can be combined with other players in a BluOS ecosystem of wirelessly networked music players throughout the home for an outstanding whole-home audio system. With the employment of the new Purifi Eigentakt Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, the M33 follows NAD's long-standing tradition in identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology. With a minimum of 200W per channel on tap, the result is lifelike performance, exemplified by ultra-low distortion and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS High-Res Music Streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bar has been Raised with the Masters M33 BluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Flagship Model Builds On Remarkable Success with Advanced Features, Cutting-Edge Technology and High Power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of a growing ecosystem of compatible products, BluOS tightly integrates hardware and software for an exceptional user experience. The only true wireless High-Resolution multi-room system available today, BluOS supports the new standard for High Res streaming, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA). BluOS also supports over 20 free and paid subscription services as well as supporting locally stored music libraries. With BluOS, the M33 retains all the audiophile features and further adds a range of facilities that will expand its capabilities yet simplifies ease-of-use at the same time. Operable with the BluOS app, the supplied remote control or through hands-free control with any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, the M33's front panel never needs to be touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDIRAC Live Room Correction On Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperts agree that room acoustics are the weakest link in most sound systems with room reflections deteriorating tonal balance and dynamics. Dirac, one of the most highly regarded Room Correction systems available, not only adjusts for frequency response, but unlike other room correction systems, it also optimises the impulse response. By optimising the speaker\/room interface, music sounds more natural and lifelike. Supplied with the M33 is a precision microphone to measure the room at and around the listening position so your system can be precisely calibrated for optimum performance. Even the most sophisticated loudspeakers can be markedly improved using Dirac calibration. Each of the 5 Dirac memory slots can store a unique room measurement or different frequency target curves to suit a particular musical taste or genre. The M33 also supports Dirac's advanced 'Bass Control' feature with two independent subwoofer outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexibility Meets Long-Term Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its standard form, the M33 is very complete with a wide range of in\/outputs, BluOS, Dirac, HDMI and more already fully integrated. It will meet the requirements of the most demanding users. To minimise the risk of future obsolescence, the M33 comes with two MDC (Modular Design Construction) slots that allow for further expansion. NAD introduced the MDC platform well over a decade ago and allowed updating products with new technologies which didn't even exist at time of introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnection and Wireless Flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether looking to connect digital or analogue sources, the M33 comes well equipped to accommodate for all of these: 6 digital inputs and 3 analogue inputs, including MM phono. Around back, the rear panel hosts two sets of speaker outputs capable of bi-wiring and a stereo Subwoofer Output with a fully configurable Digital Crossover. Airplay 2 and Bluetooth AptX-HD allow for local wireless streaming from a phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome features will be available via a future software update\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePhono and Headphones Are Not Forgotten\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M33 has a high-quality MM Phono Input that rivals specialised outboard units. Accurate RIAA equalisation, a clever phase cancelling infrasonic filter, and a huge overload margin combine to bring out the best in LPs. Furthermore, headphone enthusiasts will delight at the sound of the discrete headphone amplifier, which is able to drive even planar and high impedance studio phones. With high voltage and low output impedance, headphones will sound their best. For those who wish to enjoy their headphones but not be tethered to a cable, the integrated Bluetooth AptX-HD module makes it simple to possible to enjoy wireless headphones as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAttractive Design With Outstanding Ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all alloy casework is elegant yet practical. The single control knob for volume is supplemented by a colour LCD touchscreen display. Rigid panels with magnetic iso-point feet provide a solid foundation for the multi-layer circuit boards and intricate internal construction. The M33 employs a completely modern and fresh take on the traditional stereo amplifier, with features and performance from the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSmart Home Integration Made Easy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBluOS provides hands-free control with full integration of any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device. Through Airplay 2, control is also possible with Siri. Considerable effort has been spent to make the M33 fully compatible with all the leading smart home systems from leading companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, KNX and many others. This means that along with lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, the integrator or user can seamlessly control the BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface. All integrations are certified for reliable operation. The custom BluOS Apps for iOS and Android tablets and phones, as well as desktop control from Windows and Apple OS are available free-of-charge and are updated regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybridDigital Purifi Eigentakt Amplifier Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Power: 200W into 8\/4 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32-BIT\/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirac Live Room LE Correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour LCD touch display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluOS multi-room Integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x MDC Slots for Future Expansion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWireless control with AirPlay 2 and aptX HD Bluetooth Integration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehensive digital and analog connectivity including HDMI eARC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates seamlessly with leading smarthome control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDC (Modular Design Construction) offers ability to upgrade to future digital formats as they become available.

With the employment of the new Purifi Eigentakt Hybrid Digital amplifier technology, the M33 follows NAD's long-standing tradition in identifying and developing cutting-edge amplification technology. With a minimum of 200W per channel on tap, the result is lifelike performance, exemplified by ultra-low distortion and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBluOS High-Res Music Streaming\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bar has been Raised with the Masters M33 BluOS Streaming DAC Amplifier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur Flagship Model Builds On Remarkable Success with Advanced Features, Cutting-Edge Technology and High Power\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart of a growing ecosystem of compatible products, BluOS tightly integrates hardware and software for an exceptional user experience. The only true wireless High-Resolution multi-room system available today, BluOS supports the new standard for High Res streaming, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA). BluOS also supports over 20 free and paid subscription services as well as supporting locally stored music libraries. With BluOS, the M33 retains all the audiophile features and further adds a range of facilities that will expand its capabilities yet simplifies ease-of-use at the same time. Operable with the BluOS app, the supplied remote control or through hands-free control with any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device, the M33's front panel never needs to be touched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDIRAC Live Room Correction On Board\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eExperts agree that room acoustics are the weakest link in most sound systems with room reflections deteriorating tonal balance and dynamics. Dirac, one of the most highly regarded Room Correction systems available, not only adjusts for frequency response, but unlike other room correction systems, it also optimises the impulse response. By optimising the speaker\/room interface, music sounds more natural and lifelike. Supplied with the M33 is a precision microphone to measure the room at and around the listening position so your system can be precisely calibrated for optimum performance. Even the most sophisticated loudspeakers can be markedly improved using Dirac calibration. Each of the 5 Dirac memory slots can store a unique room measurement or different frequency target curves to suit a particular musical taste or genre. The M33 also supports Dirac's advanced 'Bass Control' feature with two independent subwoofer outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexibility Meets Long-Term Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn its standard form, the M33 is very complete with a wide range of in\/outputs, BluOS, Dirac, HDMI and more already fully integrated. It will meet the requirements of the most demanding users. To minimise the risk of future obsolescence, the M33 comes with two MDC (Modular Design Construction) slots that allow for further expansion. NAD introduced the MDC platform well over a decade ago and allowed updating products with new technologies which didn't even exist at time of introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConnection and Wireless Flexibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether looking to connect digital or analogue sources, the M33 comes well equipped to accommodate for all of these: 6 digital inputs and 3 analogue inputs, including MM phono. Around back, the rear panel hosts two sets of speaker outputs capable of bi-wiring and a stereo Subwoofer Output with a fully configurable Digital Crossover. Airplay 2 and Bluetooth AptX-HD allow for local wireless streaming from a phone or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome features will be available via a future software update\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePhono and Headphones Are Not Forgotten\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M33 has a high-quality MM Phono Input that rivals specialised outboard units. Accurate RIAA equalisation, a clever phase cancelling infrasonic filter, and a huge overload margin combine to bring out the best in LPs. Furthermore, headphone enthusiasts will delight at the sound of the discrete headphone amplifier, which is able to drive even planar and high impedance studio phones. With high voltage and low output impedance, headphones will sound their best. For those who wish to enjoy their headphones but not be tethered to a cable, the integrated Bluetooth AptX-HD module makes it simple to possible to enjoy wireless headphones as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAttractive Design With Outstanding Ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe all alloy casework is elegant yet practical. The single control knob for volume is supplemented by a colour LCD touchscreen display. Rigid panels with magnetic iso-point feet provide a solid foundation for the multi-layer circuit boards and intricate internal construction. The M33 employs a completely modern and fresh take on the traditional stereo amplifier, with features and performance from the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSmart Home Integration Made Easy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBluOS provides hands-free control with full integration of any Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device. Through Airplay 2, control is also possible with Siri. Considerable effort has been spent to make the M33 fully compatible with all the leading smart home systems from leading companies like Apple, Crestron, Control4, Lutron, KNX and many others. This means that along with lighting, shades, HVAC, and security, the integrator or user can seamlessly control the BluOS multi-room music system from a common interface.

It is more lifelike and natural, and an altogether more enjoyable listening experience. With features like Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) the D 3045 can faithfully and accurately reproduce the full spectrum of sound encapsulated on the Studio Master. Until now, music lovers have only been allowed to hear an edited version of the full fidelity because our delivery systems, be it tape, vinyl, or CD, did not have the capacity to hold all the information contained in the Studio Master recording. With High Res downloads and streaming we can now enjoy exactly the same experience the artist heard in the studio when the recording was first made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAmazing Capability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recognise that just because there is a new better format available doesn't mean your present music collection will be discarded - far from it. So we have included all the inputs and circuits required to listen to all your current music, while also possessing the capability to fully exploit today's best High Res sources. Especially notable is the Asynchronous USB input for attaching a computer which allows High Res streaming using one of the several High Res programs like Roon, JRiver, and Amarra. Asynchronous operation uses the D 3045's precision clock (instead of the computers clock) to reduce jitter to a minimum and make the USB format work ideally for audio. For everyday convenience we have included Bluetooth wireless streaming featuring aptX HD, the latest 24-bit High Res version of Bluetooth that is being supported by more and more phones and tablets. Additionally, if you have Bluetooth headphones, you can also stream your non-Bluetooth sources wirelessly to your headphones, or you can plug in your wired headphones to enjoy the exceptional performance of our low impedance, high current, Headphone Amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures You Won't Find Anywhere Else\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove vinyl? The D 3045 features NAD's super accurate, wide dynamic range, Moving Magnet Phono preamp to extract every last morsel of sound from your LPs. If you still play CDs, we have both analog and digital inputs. The digital inputs allow use of the advanced High Res DAC built into the D 3045. You can even send the sound from your TV to the NAD and seamlessly control the system using your TV's remote by taking advantage of the HDMI ARC input. Complete your system by adding a subwoofer with the convenient Sub Out jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance And Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NAD D 3045 includes advanced capabilities usually only found in far more expensive components. High Res USB DACs? They start at about 3X the price of the D 3045. High Current headphone amplifiers start at the price of the D 3045 and go up from there.

It is more lifelike and natural, and an altogether more enjoyable listening experience. With features like Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) the D 3045 can faithfully and accurately reproduce the full spectrum of sound encapsulated on the Studio Master. Until now, music lovers have only been allowed to hear an edited version of the full fidelity because our delivery systems, be it tape, vinyl, or CD, did not have the capacity to hold all the information contained in the Studio Master recording. With High Res downloads and streaming we can now enjoy exactly the same experience the artist heard in the studio when the recording was first made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAmazing Capability\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe recognise that just because there is a new better format available doesn't mean your present music collection will be discarded - far from it. So we have included all the inputs and circuits required to listen to all your current music, while also possessing the capability to fully exploit today's best High Res sources. Especially notable is the Asynchronous USB input for attaching a computer which allows High Res streaming using one of the several High Res programs like Roon, JRiver, and Amarra. Asynchronous operation uses the D 3045's precision clock (instead of the computers clock) to reduce jitter to a minimum and make the USB format work ideally for audio. For everyday convenience we have included Bluetooth wireless streaming featuring aptX HD, the latest 24-bit High Res version of Bluetooth that is being supported by more and more phones and tablets. Additionally, if you have Bluetooth headphones, you can also stream your non-Bluetooth sources wirelessly to your headphones, or you can plug in your wired headphones to enjoy the exceptional performance of our low impedance, high current, Headphone Amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures You Won't Find Anywhere Else\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLove vinyl? The D 3045 features NAD's super accurate, wide dynamic range, Moving Magnet Phono preamp to extract every last morsel of sound from your LPs. If you still play CDs, we have both analog and digital inputs. The digital inputs allow use of the advanced High Res DAC built into the D 3045. You can even send the sound from your TV to the NAD and seamlessly control the system using your TV's remote by taking advantage of the HDMI ARC input. Complete your system by adding a subwoofer with the convenient Sub Out jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerformance And Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NAD D 3045 includes advanced capabilities usually only found in far more expensive components. High Res USB DACs? They start at about 3X the price of the D 3045. High Current headphone amplifiers start at the price of the D 3045 and go up from there. Power Amps featuring 60wpc and with the low distortion and high current capability of the D 3045 are rare at this price.

Coaxial and optical inputs allow many different digital sources to be connected, from CD and DVD players, to set top boxes, media streamers like AppleTV, or satellite and cable receivers. There are also analogue inputs including a sophisticated MM Phono input. Far from just another set of sockets, this Phono stage includes highly accurate RIAA equalisation, an Infrasonic Warp Filter, and features both high overload margins and extremely low noise.

Instead of letting laboratory test equipment have the last word, we made sure that we could properly drive real loudspeakers with real music for the real world. The D 3020 lives up to this promise through a unique implementation of NAD PowerDrive developed by Edvardsen, that allows low impedance drive (current) and high dynamic power (voltage) at vanishingly low distortion levels. This refinement of PowerDrive combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 sound even more powerful than it already is. An innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStream with Bluetooth\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth capability.

NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption.

This refinement of PowerDrive combined with a precision soft clipping circuit, lets the D 3020 sound even more powerful than it already is. An innovative Bass EQ circuit helps small speakers sound big without overdriving or damaging ported woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStream with Bluetooth\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D 3020 V2 delivers the convenience of wireless streaming with its Bluetooth capability. Stream all your music from a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. The D 3020 even supports the highest audio quality Bluetooth, aptX, which is becoming ever more popular for its excellent sound quality and low power consumption compared to Wi-Fi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMean and Green\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe D 3020's highly efficient design wastes less energy, requiring only 20% of the power needed by traditional Hi-Fi amplifiers. It's like trading in a gas guzzling car for a hybrid vehicle. Standby power consumption is a miniscule \u0026lt;0.5W. NAD has taken amplification to new lows, with lower distortion, lower noise, and lower power consumption. NAD's major focus is to find new technology that improves musical performance while consuming less power and using fewer non-renewable resources in manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAudio Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eRated Power at 8 ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 x 30 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIHF Dynamic Power 8 ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 x 60 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e4 ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 x 100 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2 ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 x 150 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal\/Noise Ratio (A-weighted, ref. 1 Watt)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e≥90dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel Separation 1kHz\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e≥75dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e10kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e≥65dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel Balance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e0 ±0.3dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency Response (20Hz - 20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e0dB to -0.3dB\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTotal Harmonic Distortion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e≤0.005%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum input level\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e5V\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIMD (SMPTE)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.02%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIMD (CCIF)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e0.003%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMM Phono Input\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePhono Signal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;82 dB (200 ohms source, A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out)\u003cbr\u003e76 dB (MM cartridge source, IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInput sensitivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.15 mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMaximum input signal at 1kHz\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;90 mVrms (ref. 0.1 % THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e±0.3 dB (20 Hz - 20 kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandby Power\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e≤0.5 Watts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSupports bit rate\/sample rate\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eup to 24\/192 (via Digital Audio input)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eUnit Dimensions (W x H x D) Gross\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e58 x 186 x 219mm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 5\/16 x 7 3\/8 x 8 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNet Weight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.38kg (3.05lb)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.1kg (4.6lb)\u003c\/p\u003e"}

Intelligent. Powerful. Efficient\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAs the new flagship of NAD's Classic series of integrated amps, the C 399 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier takes NAD's commitment to lasting value and sonic excellence to a whole new level.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 employs NAD's Hypex HybridDigital nCore amplifier circuitry, which until now has been available only on Masters Series amplifiers. Its digital section is built around a 32-bit\/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC, the same chip used in NAD's acclaimed M10 and M33 Masters Series amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 is the first amplifier to incorporate the latest generation of NAD's Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology. MDC2 lets users add optional modules that provide functions such as BluOS multi-room music streaming and Dirac Live room correction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrickled down from NAD's Masters Series, the C 399's HybridDigital nCore amplifier can deliver 180 Watts per channel continuous power, and 250 Watts per channel instantaneous power. Highly efficient and remarkably powerful, the HybridDigital nCore amplifier can produce musical transients effortlessly. The design is renowned for its wide bandwidth, flat frequency response, clean clipping behaviour with instant recovery, high current capability, and stability into demanding low-impedance speaker loads. Noise and distortion are vanishingly low under all operating conditions. The minute levels of harmonic distortion are dominated by sonically benign second and third harmonics. The Hypex nCore design enables the C 399 to produce neutral, distortion-free sound even at very high listening levels, with exquisite detail, superb portrayal of space, and thrilling dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso trickled down from the Masters Series is the ESS Sabre 9028 high-resolution DAC, a design noted for near-zero levels of clock jitter, ultra-low noise and distortion, and wide dynamic range. This premium DAC enables the C 399 to reproduce all your digital sources with amazing musicality, stunning clarity, and precise soundstaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFuture Proof\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2007, NAD introduced Modular Design Construction, an innovative architecture for adding new functions to existing components. Many NAD products have rear-panel slots for MDC modules that perform HDMI switching, BluOS multi-room music streaming, Dolby Atmos surround processing, and other functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 is the first product to feature NAD's new MDC2 architecture. By enabling two-way communications between the module and component, MDC2 opens up the future for new upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEquipped with Wi-Fi and Ethernet, the optional MDC2 BluOS-D module lets listeners play music from their favourite streaming services through the C 399, using the acclaimed BluOS Controller app for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. Like all BluOS-enabled products, the MDC2 BluOS-D has integrated support for dozens of streaming services; and supports Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect. Two-way communications also enable the MDC2 BluOS-D to stream music from sources connected to the C 399 to BluOS-enabled components in other rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dirac Live function lets you measure your room's acoustics using a supplied microphone and intuitive app, and then upload correction curves to the MDC2 BluOS-D. By compensating for acoustic anomalies in your listening environment, Dirac Live dramatically improves bass clarity, imaging, and timbral accuracy. Thanks to its two-way architecture, the MDC2 BluOS-D performs room correction for all sources connected to your C 399.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEverything's Connected\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C 399 can accommodate all your digital and analogue sources. Its MM phono stage delivers ultra-precise RIAA equalisation, extremely low noise, and high overload margins. The phono preamp also features an innovative circuit that suppresses the infrasonic noise present on all LPs, without compromising bass response. There are two sets of line-level line inputs, with low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent sonic degradation. The C 399 has two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, plus an HDMI-eARC port for playing audio from a connected TV, while controlling amplifier output with the TV's remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to two sets of speaker outputs, the C 399 has preamp output jacks and dual subwoofer outputs. Two-way apt-X HD Bluetooth allows 24-bit streaming from mobile devices, and high-quality output to Bluetooth headphones. Also built-in is a dedicated headphone amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage capability, enabling the C 399 to drive demanding high-impedance studio monitor headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Timeless Classic\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with every NAD amplifier ever made, the C 399 gets the basics right: a precise volume control with accurate channel balance, low-noise circuits, and correct input and output impedances. But it goes far beyond the basics. With its HybridDigital nCore output stage and high-resolution ESS Sabre DAC, the C 399 can reproduce all your digital and analogue sources with a level of excitement and refinement that is unprecedented for a Classic-series integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to NAD's innovative MDC2 platform, the C 399 will keep pace with future developments. Essentially, MDC2 makes obsolescence obsolete. The C 399 can serve as the hub of a world-class music system today, and for years to come. With NAD's C 399 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier, the legend continues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid Digital nCore Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous Power: 180 Watts per channel into 8\/4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstantaneous Power: 250 Watts per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanishingly low harmonic and intermodulation distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual MDC2 Ports for expanded functionality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional MDC2 BluOS-D module adds BluOS multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJitter-free 32-bit\/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-low-noise MM phono stage with infrasonic filtering circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo optical, two coaxial digital inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI-eARC input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo pairs of line-level analogue inputs with low-noise buffer amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker A\/Speaker B outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-way aptX-HD Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual subwoofer outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated headphone amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR remote\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12V Trigger in\/out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIR in\/out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRS-232 Serial port for control integration with home automation systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl4, Crestron, RTI, URC, AMX, Savant, Elan certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAmplification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch5\u003eLine In, Speaker Out (Analog bypass on)\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ch4\u003eContinuous output power into 8 ohms and 4 ohms\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;180W (ref. 20 Hz-20 kHz at rated THD, both channels driven)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20 Hz - 20 kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.02% (250 mW to 180 W, 8 ohms and 4 ohms)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal\/Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;95 dB (A-weighted, 500 mV input, ref. 1 W out in 8 ohms)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClipping power\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e210W (at 1 kHz 0.1 % THD)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIHF dynamic power\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 ohms: 217 W\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 ohms: 400 W\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 ohms: 506.4 W\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePeak output current\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;26 A (in 1 ohm, 1 ms)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDamping factor\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;150 (ref. 8 ohms, 20Hz to 6.5kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e±0.3 dB (20 Hz - 20 kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eChannel Separation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;90dB (1 kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;75dB (10 kHz)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInput sensitivity (for 180 W in 8 ohms)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eLine In: 201 mV\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigital In: 10.25% FS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePreamplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch5\u003eLine Input, Pre Out (Analog bypass on)\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTHD (20Hz-20kHz)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026lt;0.002 % at 2 V out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSignal\/Noise Ratio\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u0026gt;106dB (IHF;

With the optional BluOS module, the C 368 can connect to your network and be controlled through a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, and connect wirelessly to any other BluOS Enabled device to create a multi-room High Resolution Audio system. You can also instantly connect to the C 368 through Bluetooth, giving you the ability to stream wirelessly from any Bluetooth Enabled device, and if you're a vinyl fan, you can also add a turntable. Enjoying music has never been so easy. A totally modern approach to amplification, the C 368 is the ultimate amp for any music lover's system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGetting it Right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe never overlook the most crucial of requirements. From low noise circuits to precise volume control action, to accurate channel balance and proper input and output impedance characteristics, we here at NAD do everything we can to get these things exactly right. We also include an MM Phono stage with precisely accurate RIAA equalisation, high overload margins, extremely low noise, and an innovative circuit to suppress infrasonic noise that is present on all LPs - all without affecting bass response. Our line inputs can accommodate all kinds of analogue source components by offering ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation. We include a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability - enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. Low impedance line outputs that can connect to subwoofers extend the versatility of this well thought out amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eForward Thinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModular Design Construction (MDC), allows you to customise your NAD amplifier with additional capabilities and features, now or in the future. The two available MDC slots can accommodate a variety of upgrade modules including 4K video capable HDMI switching, additional Digital Inputs, additional Analogue and Phono Inputs, and one of the most advanced Hi-Res Audio multi-room wireless systems available, the BluOS music management system developed by Bluesound. BluOS connects to your network and is controlled via smartphone, tablet or desktop to manage your music collection and connect you to a growing list of high-quality streaming music services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can connect instantly to the C 368 with Bluetooth aptX, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Bluetooth can also be used to listen to other sources connected to the C 368 via wireless headphones. There is also a control app to control all functions of your C 368. Adding the optional BluOS Module provides access to your local area network via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection and adds Hi-Res Audio streaming. The BluOS Module also makes the C 368 a single-zone streamer in a complete multi-room wireless music system that is fully compatible with BluOS Enabled music systems and wireless speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSophisticated Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last few years, NAD has moved away from the old-fashioned linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that waste energy, and have instead developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work in this area has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a dramatic advance over previous models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the power supply is capable of 80 watts continuously and over 120 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. It can operate with any AC mains voltage from 100 to 240 volts and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of the C 368. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 368 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage.

With the optional BluOS module, the C 368 can connect to your network and be controlled through a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, and connect wirelessly to any other BluOS Enabled device to create a multi-room High Resolution Audio system. You can also instantly connect to the C 368 through Bluetooth, giving you the ability to stream wirelessly from any Bluetooth Enabled device, and if you're a vinyl fan, you can also add a turntable. Enjoying music has never been so easy.

From low noise circuits to precise volume control action, to accurate channel balance and proper input and output impedance characteristics, we here at NAD do everything we can to get these things exactly right. We also include an MM Phono stage with precisely accurate RIAA equalisation, high overload margins, extremely low noise, and an innovative circuit to suppress infrasonic noise that is present on all LPs - all without affecting bass response. Our line inputs can accommodate all kinds of analogue source components by offering ideal input impedance characteristics with linear ultra-low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent any sonic degradation. We include a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability - enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones. Low impedance line outputs that can connect to subwoofers extend the versatility of this well thought out amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eForward Thinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModular Design Construction (MDC), allows you to customise your NAD amplifier with additional capabilities and features, now or in the future. The two available MDC slots can accommodate a variety of upgrade modules including 4K video capable HDMI switching, additional Digital Inputs, additional Analogue and Phono Inputs, and one of the most advanced Hi-Res Audio multi-room wireless systems available, the BluOS music management system developed by Bluesound. BluOS connects to your network and is controlled via smartphone, tablet or desktop to manage your music collection and connect you to a growing list of high-quality streaming music services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant Connection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can connect instantly to the C 368 with Bluetooth aptX, allowing you to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Bluetooth can also be used to listen to other sources connected to the C 368 via wireless headphones. There is also a control app to control all functions of your C 368. Adding the optional BluOS Module provides access to your local area network via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet connection and adds Hi-Res Audio streaming. The BluOS Module also makes the C 368 a single-zone streamer in a complete multi-room wireless music system that is fully compatible with BluOS Enabled music systems and wireless speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSophisticated Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last few years, NAD has moved away from the old-fashioned linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that waste energy, and have instead developed even better performing circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies, NAD's advanced work in this area has created some of the best performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a dramatic advance over previous models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the power supply is capable of 80 watts continuously and over 120 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. It can operate with any AC mains voltage from 100 to 240 volts and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of the C 368. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 368 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage.
