NAD C 379 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier

Maximum Power and Performance

The NAD C 379 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier is engineered for maximum performance at every level. Featuring a customised HybridDigital UcD output stage in a fully balanced bridge configuration, the C 379 delivers massive power with vanishingly low distortion and noise across the audible spectrum. With 80 watts of continuous power and over 120 watts available instantaneously, it handles musical transients effortlessly. For more demanding setups, the C 379 can be bridged with the NAD C 268 for up to 300 watts per channel of clean, distortion-free sound.

Brilliant Musicality and Detail

At the heart of its digital architecture lies the acclaimed ESS SABRE® ES9028 DAC, a 32-bit powerhouse known for its exceptional dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and jitter-free performance. This enables the C 379 to produce an expansive soundstage, precise imaging, and stunning clarity for every genre.

Future-Proof Flexibility

With two MDC2 slots, the C 379 allows for future upgrades via NAD’s Modular Design Construction platform. Add emerging audio/video technologies or high-end features such as BluOS® multi-room streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction without replacing your amp.
