NAD C389 Hybrid DAC Amplifier
An integrated amplifier for the digital age
NAD’s C 389 integrated amplifier will give your analog and digital sources the rich, clear sound we’ve come to expect from NAD.
Its sleek, classic chassis houses powerful low-noise circuitry and a precise volume control with accurate channel balance. And it also features a high-performance DAC and future-ready expansion slots.
Fast, efficient power
This amp will render your digital and analog sources in sparkling, authoritative detail. It uses NAD’s super-efficient HybridDigital UcD (Universal Class D) technology for effortlessly powerful amplification.
It can deliver 130 watts per channel continuous power, and 350 watts per channel instantaneous power. That means it can handle crazy dynamic peaks, from Beethoven’s whisper-to-scream symphonies to explosive Marvel movies. And it’ll drive demanding low-impedance speakers with cool-running, high-current power and vanishingly low noise and distortion levels — even when cranked.
High-end digital decoding
The C 389 uses a high-performance 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre ES9028 DAC to serve up ultra-precise sound from digital music sources. It’s known for its wide dynamic range, ultra-low noise and distortion, and near-zero levels of jitter (timing errors that can smear musical detail).
