Maximum Power and Performance

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

Brilliant Musicality and Detail

The digital architecture of the C 379 is based on the critically acclaimed ESS SABRE® ES9028 DAC, one of the industry's highest-performing 32-bit digital-to-analog converters, featuring unprecedented dynamic range and extremely low distortion. It offers the highest quality music reproduction, free from the clock jitter common in digital audio systems. The result is an exceptionally wide dynamic range, extremely low distortion, a precise soundstage, and unparalleled clarity.

Future-proof Flexibility

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

The Power of BluOS

With the available MDC2 BluOS-D module, the C 379 can be expanded with Dirac Live, BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2, bi-directional aptX® HD Bluetooth, and more. With BluOS, the C 379 can be connected to a home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to experience the most advanced wireless multi-room music management system with 24-bit/192 kHz resolution. BluOS is controlled via the BluOS app for smartphone, tablet, or desktop, 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 equipped with a wide variety of analog and digital connectivity options, including aptX HD Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, MM phono stage, and two subwoofer outputs. aptX HD easily supports 24-bit streaming from any Bluetooth-enabled device, while HDMI eARC allows you to connect the C 379 to your TV, enabling seamless control via your existing remote. It also features a built-in high-performance headphone amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage, allowing it to drive a wide variety of headphones.
