NAD C 389 Integrated Amplifier
A 130 Wpc HybridDigital amp with MM phonostage, DAC, Bluetooth, and option to add BluOD control.
The C 389 can deliver 130 W per channel continuously, with virtually unmeasurable distortion and noise through the audioband, and up to 350 W per channel of instantaneous power, for effortless reproduction of musical transients.
The digital section features the same 32-bit/384kHz ESS Technology Sabre DAC chip used in NAD’s award-winning Masters M33 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 to deliver astonishing clarity and near-holographic imaging on all sources.
