MAXIMUM POWER AND PERFORMANCE

Every  detail of the C 379 amplifier design has been refined for maximum  performance. Starting with a customised version of the proven  HybridDigital UcD output stage, the C 379 operates in a fully balanced  bridge configuration. This allows for massive power with nearly  immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. The power supply  is capable of 80 watts continuously and over 120 watts instantaneously  to allow for short-term musical transients. For even greater power, the C  379 can be bridged in mono with the C 268 to provide up to 300 watts  per channel of distortion-free sound.

BRILLIANT MUSICALITY AND DETAIL

The C 379’s digital architecture is built around the critically acclaimed ESS SABRE® ES9028 DAC, one of the industry’s highest performance 32-bit  digital-to-analogue converts with unprecedented dynamic range and  ultra-low distortion. It provides ultra-high-quality music playback,  free from clock jitter common in digital audio systems. The results are  an exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, accurate  sound stage and unparalleled clarity.

FUTURE-PROOF FLEXIBILITY

Since  2006, NAD has led the way in providing users the flexibility to add  features as new A/V technologies are introduced to provide unparalleled  performance and value. Now, with the second generation of NAD’s Modular  Design Construction (MDC) technology, the C 379 is in a class of its  own. It features two MDC2 slots for upgrading the amplifier’s  capabilities with emerging A/V technologies and additional features,  including BluOS® high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction.

THE POWER OF BLUOS

With the available MDC2 BluOS-D module, Dirac Live, BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2, two-way aptX® HD Bluetooth, and more, can be added to the C 379. With BluOS, the C  379 can be connected to a home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to  experience the most advanced multi-room wireless music management system  with 24 bit/192kHz resolution. Controlled through the BluOS app for  smartphone, tablet, or desktop, BluOS manages your digital music  collection and connects to over 20 high-quality streaming music services  including Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Spotify, and more.

CONNECT EVERYTHING

The  C 379 is well equipped with a variety of analogue and digital  connectivity options including aptX HD Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, MM Phono  stage, and two subwoofer outputs. aptX HD can easily support 24-bit  streaming from any Bluetooth enabled device, while HDMI eARC allows you  to connect the C 379 to your TV and provide seamless control from your  existing remote. It also includes a built-in high-performance headphone  amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage capability,  allowing it to drive a wide range of headphones.
