NAD C389 Integrated Amplifier

Building on five decades of innovation in amplifier design, NAD’s C389 HybridDigital DAC amplifier offers audiophile-class performance, flexible connectivity options, class-leading upgradability, and unmatched value. The C389 employs NAD’s proven HybridDigital UcD amplifier design and the same ESS Sabre DAC employed in NAD’s acclaimed M33 BluOS streaming amplifier. With a full suite of digital and analogue inputs, including an ultra-low noise phono stage and HDMI eARC interface, the C389 can accommodate all your source components. In addition to two sets of speaker outputs, it has two subwoofer outputs, a preamp outputs, and a dedicated headphone amp. The C389 incorporates MDC2, the latest iteration of NAD’s Modular Design Construction technology, so owners can add exciting features like BluOS multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction.
