Like every NAD amplifier ever made, the C 399 has the basics right: precise volume control with accurate channel balancing, low-noise circuitry, and correct input and output impedances. But it goes way beyond the basics. With its HybridDigital nCore output stage and high-resolution ESS Saber DAC, the C 399 can reproduce all your digital and analog sources with a level of excitement and refinement unprecedented for a Classic Series integrated amplifier.
Thanks to NAD's innovative MDC2 platform, the C 399 will keep pace with future developments. Essentially, MDC2 makes obsolescence obsolete. The C 399 can serve as the centerpiece of a world-class music system today, and for years to come. With NAD's C 399 HybridDigital DAC amplifier, the legend continues.
