MDC BLUOS-D MODULE PRE-INSTALLED

Embodying half a century of audio mastery, the NAD C 379 is everything you’d expect from a Classic Series amplifier. Continuing NAD’s tradition of delivering simplicity, value, and innovation, the C 379 features the latest generation of MDC technology, 80 watts per channel of HybridDigital® UcD amplification, and a high-performance ESS SABRE DAC that lets you experience music with exceptional sonic detail and clarity.

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.

No problems. Great sound.

The Nait 50 sounds more powerful than the rated 25 wpc rating suggests. This amp is very transparent, there are loads of detail in play back regardless of the source. The MM phono section is very good. Overall I’m very pleased with this little integrated.

I notice improved sound over the Node X

Very well packaged, easy to put together wife loves the color, very heavy for the money and it sounds great. Great value table.

Great streamer. The sound is superb and difficult to beat at this price range and even higher.

Speakers sound great. Order process simple. Shipping with extra protection. Great price and service

B-stock unit arrived in flawless condition with all original accessories and factory packaging. The player is solidly built, great looking, has a small footprint that usits my needs, has comprehensive output selections, and sounds great. The menus are easy and intuitive. I love how fast it spins up to play and that it's absolutely silent. All this for a great price!

I have marantz 140 vintage. I own the marantz 7025 amplifier and now I have the model 30. Model 30 hands down's the best I've heard, very clean..

Much improved over my Tannoy mini’s. Highs are crisp & clear.

Installed and loving it! Good pricing and wonderful quality! Cheers

Stunningly good service. I placed the order. It shipped the same day, arriving exactly when the sales guy said it would. The external packaging was unusually robust. One carton was kind of gorn up, the other looked like shark took a bite on it. The manufacturer's packaging was almost untouched and soeskets themselves were perfect. Defibitely a strong recommendation for service and shipping/packing

This is truly a legacy high end piece to own if one is considering downsizing. It is versatile as it is beautiful in looks and build and does not disappoint in its sonic performance. It is clean, crisp and smooth in its presentation.

The Accuphase AD-60 is an excellent sounding internal phono stage and a very close second alternative to having a separate phono stage. I'm very happy with having "downsized" having more gear in my stereo kit.

They sound great nice clarity and separation good bass good performance I’m happy that’s my second pair🔥

I haven’t used this yet but I am very satisfied with the price service and professional service so far.

I'm very pleased with this streamer. The user interface and associated app are very easy to set up and use. Installing the internal drive and setting up a local library within the device was also easy despite my lack of experience doing that sort of thing.

As for the sound, I am running this via USB to a Marantz SA-KI Ruby (also purchased from Safe and Sound, by the way), and the sound is all I could ask for.

I couldn't be happier with this streamer!

I was amazed at how good this shoebox amp sounds.

I have a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Pianos I bought in Dec 1986. For a while they sounded amazing for its size but it was a temporary replacement for the main system that broke due to humidity and dust. A year later I got the Krell KAV300i to drive them and they sounded not as good but ok for the next 27 years. The NAIT 50 replaced the Krell that broke down last year although I replaced the whole system with a Supernait 3 and DefTec DM80. The Sonus Fabers were orphaned for a year until I got this NAIT 50 for my daughter’s home system. The SF Grand Pianos are singing the way they should now.

Great sounding amp.

So far I'm impressed with the Marantz Model 50. I'm going to sell my PM-7000n and Eversolo DMP-A6. Also picked up the new Eversolo T8 streamer. Both together are such an improvement with Klipsch Heresy IV's. The Model 50 has a wider sound stage and more grip of bass with the Klipsch. Now for casual or even critical listening I don't miss running my tube amp so much.

Helpful audio consultant and super easy ordering process.

Really enjoying sound quality a convenience of the built-in network streamer.It has brought new life to my Large Advents. I plan to pair it with my JBL L166 speakers next.

A really great deal on a turntable. Safe and Sound ALWAYD has shipped very quickly. Really a great company to deal with.
