Power and Performance<\/h4>\n

For over 50 years, the NAD<\/strong> brand has been synonymous with performance and value, and the C 389<\/strong> HybridDigital DAC Amplifier continues that tradition. Its output stage is based on a customized version of NAD\u2019s<\/strong> efficient HybridDigital UcD design, with multiple UcD amplifier modules in balanced bridged configuration and an innovative switch-mode power supply that provides ample reserves of current on demand. The C 389<\/strong> can deliver a staggering 130W per channel continuously, with virtually unmeasurable distortion and noise through the audio band, and up to 350W per channel of instantaneous power, for effortless reproduction of musical transients.<\/p>\n

The digital section features the same 32-bit\/384kHz ESS Technology Sabre DAC chip used in NAD\u2019s<\/strong> award-winning Masters<\/strong> M33<\/strong> amplifier. Renowned for its exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra-low noise and distortion, and near-zero levels of clock jitter, the ESS Sabre 9028 DAC enables the C 389<\/strong> to deliver astonishing clarity and near-holographic imaging on all sources.<\/p>\n

Future Friendly<\/h4>\n

In 2006, NAD<\/strong> introduced Modular Design Construction technology, which lets users add new features by inserting an expansion module into an MDC-capable component. In 2021, NAD<\/strong>introduced MDC2<\/strong>, a next-generation future-proofing platform that enables two-way communications between the expansion module and host component.<\/p>\n

The C 389<\/strong> has two MDC2<\/strong> expansion slots, so that it can stay current with new developments in A\/V technology. NAD\u2019s<\/strong> first MDC2<\/strong> module is the MDC2<\/strong> BluOS-D, which features BluOS high-res multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction.<\/p>\n

The MDC2<\/strong> BluOS-D connects to your home network via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet. Using the BluOS Controller app on a smart device or personal computer, you can play music from your favourite streaming services and personal music library through the C 389<\/strong>. BluOS has integrated support for more than 20 services, including several that offer lossless and high-res audio, such as Amazon Music HD, Deezer, Idagio, Qobuz and Tidal. Like all BluOS-enabled components, the MDC2<\/strong> BluOS-D has MQA decoding and rendering capability, for high-res streaming from Tidal. It also supports Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect, as well as Amazon Alexa voice control. With the MDC2<\/strong> BluOS-D installed, the C 389<\/strong> can be part of a whole-home music system with as many as 64 zones.<\/p>\n

By counteracting common acoustic problems like standing waves and room reflections, Dirac Live room correction transforms your listening experience. Connect the supplied microphone to the MDC<\/strong> BluOS-D\u2019s USB port, and then run the free Dirac Live app on a smart device or personal computer. Dirac Live will play test tones through your speakers, analyze the results, then transfer compensation filters to the MDC<\/strong> BluOS-D. You\u2019ll enjoy deeper, more textured bass; more precise imaging; greater midrange clarity; and more accurate tonal balance. Thanks to MDC2\u2019s<\/strong> two-way architecture, the MDC2<\/strong> BluOS-D delivers these benefits on all sources connected to the C 389<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
