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 -

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?

compact, energy efficient, powerful, silent, High Resolution capable, and packed with cutting edge features like DSD and MQA playback.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNAD's expertise in both digital and analog engineering is on full display in this flexible and affordable amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHigher Fidelity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigh Res is to audio, what High Definition is to video. 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.

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.

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.
