While many hi-fi manufacturers with plans to launch new products at the prestigious High End Munich show are remaining tight-lipped until next week’s event, an excited NAD is seemingly all too happy to share what it has in store for team What Hi-Fi? and other attendees: the latest edition to its Classic Series of amplifiers.
The all-new C 379 is what the Canadian brand calls a ‘HybridDigital DAC’ amplifier, referring to the company’s proven Class D amplifier design as well as the ESS SABRE digital-to-analogue converter at the core of its digital circuitry and connectivity offering. Another key feature of many of NAD’s recent amplifier releases has been its versatile, futureproofing Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology, which allows owners to upgrade the amplifier with BluOS network streaming with Dirac room correction and/or emerging AV technologies as they come along – and those module expansion slots are part and parcel of the C 379’s offering too.
