The NAD C 379 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier delivers clean, dynamic sound from all your favourite music sources with the clarity and control expected from the Classic Series. Its HybridDigital UcD amplifier design and refined digital architecture reveal more detail and presence in every track, and its power amplifier section can be bridged to deliver over 300 Watts into 8 ohms — or paired with the matching C 268 to create a powerful 2 x 300 Watts into 8 ohms system. With dual MDC2 slots, the C 379 can be expanded with high-resolution BluOS streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction. This is the standard C 379 without the optional MDC2 BluOS-D module. HDMI eARC, a Moving Magnet phono stage, and a dedicated headphone amplifier complete a versatile system built for everyday listening.
Dirac Live® Limited Bandwidth licence and calibration microphone for room correction up to 500Hz — MDC2 BluOS-D card required.
