The NAD C 379 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier delivers exceptional hi-fi performance with advanced digital processing, powerful amplification, and future-ready flexibility. Featuring NAD’s customized HybridDigital UcD amplifier design, it produces 80 watts per channel of clean, distortion-free power, with the ability to bridge for up to 300 watts in mono. At its core, an industry-leading ESS SABRE® 32-bit/384kHz DAC ensures ultra-high-resolution audio with remarkable clarity, dynamic range, and precise sound staging.
Equipped with the MDC2 BluOS-D module, the C 379 supports BluOS multi-room streaming, Apple AirPlay 2, and optional Dirac Live® room correction for optimized audio performance. HDMI eARC allows seamless TV integration, while dual subwoofer outputs enhance bass response for music and home theater systems. Additional connectivity includes optical, coaxial, analog inputs, a low-noise MM phono stage, and two-way aptX HD Bluetooth. With dual MDC2 expansion slots for future upgrades, the NAD C 379 is a versatile, high-performance integrated amplifier built for modern audiophile systems.
