The NAD C399 Integrated Amplifier with DAC is a high-performance amplifier that employs NAD's Hybrid Digital nCore amplification and a 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC. It also features NAD's Modular Design Construction technology, allowing users to add optional modules for expanded functionality. NAD C399 Integrated Amplifier With DAC Employing NAD’s Hybrid Digital nCore amplification, which until now has been available only on Masters Series amplifiers, the C 399 delivers a level of performance that is unprecedented at its price point. As the new flagship of NAD’s Classic series of integrated amps, the C 399 Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier takes NAD’s commitment to lasting value and sonic excellence to a whole new level. The C 399 employs NAD’s Hypex Hybrid Digital nCore amplifier circuitry, which until now has been available only on Masters Series amplifiers. Its digital section is built around a 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC, the same chip used in NAD’s acclaimed M10 and M33 Masters Series amplifiers. The C 399 is the first amplifier to incorporate the latest generation of NAD’s Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology. MDC2 lets users add optional modules that provide functions such as BluOS multi-room music streaming and Dirac Live room correction.
