At its core is NAD’s HybridDigital UcD amplification in a fully balanced bridge configuration, delivering clean, dynamic power with excellent control and low noise across the volume range. A high-performance ESS SABRE DAC anchors the digital side, revealing finer detail, wider dynamics, and more precise imaging from your favorite music.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConnectivity is designed for modern living: HDMI eARC brings your TV into the hi-fi world with simple, seamless control, while optical and coaxial inputs accommodate streamers, disc players, and consoles. For analog lovers, the moving-magnet phono stage delivers accurate RIAA equalization with ultra-low noise. Dual independent subwoofer outputs make bass integration easy, and the dedicated headphone amplifier provides the voltage and low output impedance needed to drive a wide range of headphones confidently.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFuture-proofing is where the C 379 really stands out. Two MDC2 expansion slots let you add optional next-generation upgrades—like BluOS high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction—so your amplifier can evolve along with your system for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NAD C379 is part of ListenUp's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/listenup.com\/collections\/nad-home-audio\" title=\"NAD Integrated Amplifiers Collection\"\u003eNAD Integrated Amplifiers Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWhat It's Good At:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDriving demanding speakers with 80W per channel of clean HybridDigital UcD power and strong dynamic headroom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTurning TV sound into real hi-fi via HDMI eARC with simple system integration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelivering detailed, low-noise digital playback through an ESS SABRE 32-bit DAC architecture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupporting vinyl listening with a quiet, accurate MM phono stage and RIAA equalization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEasy bass integration with dual independent subwoofer outputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStaying upgrade-ready with dual MDC2 slots for optional BluOS streaming and Dirac Live room correction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch4\u003eNAD C 379 Full Specifications:\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier Topology:\u003c\/strong\u003e HybridDigital UcD amplifier design;
