Hybrid Digital DAC Amplifier NAD C368

You can instantly connect to the C 368 using Bluetooth ® APTX ® , allowing you to stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. Bluetooth can also be used to listen to other sources connected to the C 368 via wireless headphones. There is also an app to control all the functions of your C 368. Adding an optional BluOS module provides LAN access via Wi-Fi or a wired Ethernet connection and adds Hi-Res audio streaming. The BluOS module also makes the C 368 a single-zone streamer in a complete multi-room wireless music system, fully compatible with BluOS-enabled music systems and wireless speakers.

In the past few years, NAD has moved away from obsolete linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that consume power and instead has developed even more efficient circuits based on switching power supplies and Class D output stages. NAD's advanced work in this area, once considered inferior to traditional topologies, has made it possible to create some of the most efficient amplifiers, regardless of the basic design principle. These new designs are highly linear over wide bandwidth and deliver consistent performance across all speaker loads, providing a significant improvement over previous models.

In addition, the power supply is capable of sustaining 80W continuously and exceeding 120W instantly, allowing for short-term musical transients. It can handle any AC voltage from 100 to 240 volts and provides clean DC power to all of the various C 368 stages. This high efficiency power supply also provides near perfect voltage regulation over a wide range of conditions and provides strong noise-free ground for the boost stages. .

The C 368 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage. This allows for huge power with almost immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been meticulously planned and executed to perfection to produce every last drop of performance.
