{"product_id":"nadc379","title":"NAD C379 Stereo Integrated Amplifier with DAC \u0026 MDC2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe NAD C379 is a stereo integrated amplifier with built-in DAC that combines 2× 150 watts of HybridDigital power, an MM phono stage and an MDC2 expansion slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe powerhouse of the Classic Series – plenty of headroom today, open to BluOS streaming tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the NAD C379?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause one thing takes centre stage here above all: confident power. The HybridDigital UcD power stage with PowerDrive delivers 2× 150 watts of continuous power and considerably higher dynamic peaks when the music demands it. The built-in DAC takes in digital sources cleanly, and the MDC2 slot keeps the door open to streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C379 offers plenty of connectivity: MM phono, two high-level inputs, two optical and two coaxial digital inputs each. On the output side there's pre-out, main-in, two subwoofer outputs with digital crossover and headphones. Via the MDC2 slot you can add the optional BluOS-D module and get BluOS streaming, Dirac Live and HDMI eARC into the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the NAD C379 suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for medium to large rooms and speakers that want power. Straight talk: the C379 focuses on power rather than the finest DAC – if you want the higher-quality ESS Sabre converter and two module slots, look at the C389. And streaming only arrives with the optional BluOS-D module; it's not included from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe C379 is the power all-rounder of the Classic Series: plenty of punch, a clean DAC, expandable via MDC2. An honest amplifier for anyone who values headroom and wants to keep streaming as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: stereo integrated amplifier (HybridDigital)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier technology: HybridDigital UcD with PowerDrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContinuous power: 2× 150 watts (8\/4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic power: 250 watts (8 Ω) \/ 380 watts (4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC: built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhono input: MM (moving magnet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue inputs: 2× high-level (RCA), 1× phono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital inputs: 2× optical, 2× coaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: pre-out, main-in, 2× subwoofer (digital crossover), headphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpansion: 1× MDC2 slot (e.g. MDC2 BluOS-D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 435 × 120 × 390 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I upgrade the NAD C379 to a streamer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
