Reviewers’ Choice Award 2025 – SoundStage! Access
Everything You'd expect from a Classic Series Amplifier
Embodying half a century of audio mastery, the NAD C 379 is everything you'd expect from a Classic Series amplifier.
Continuing NAD's tradition of delivering simplicity, value, and innovation, the C 379 features the latest generation of MDC technology. It also features 80 watts per channel of NAD HybridDigital™ UcD amplification and a high-performance ESS SABRE DAC that lets you experience music with exceptional sonic detail and clarity.
If you're a vinyl enthusiast, you will appreciate the built-in high-quality MM phono stage, and the built in headphone amplifier provides superior private listening.
Award-Winning Performance
The NAD C 379 received a Reviewers’ Choice Award 2025 – SoundStage! Access. "More so than any integrated amplifier I’ve reviewed in ages, the NAD C 379 embodies the ethos of SoundStage! Access nearly perfectly," reports Dennis Burger in his February 1, 2025 review.
"This is absolutely a model for what a budget-conscious integrated amp with zero performance compromises should look like. It’s the best value I’ve encountered in quite some time."
"An Absolutely Fantastic Amp"
"This is an absolutely fantastic amp," reports C 329 owner joydivision29 at r/budgetaudiophile for reddit.com, June 8, 2025.
"The sound is extremely well-balanced with full bass and is slightly warm with a very detailed midrange which has me hearing sounds in songs that I know well that I've never heard before. It sounds very tube-like but distortion free with a well controlled bass response."
Maximum Power and Performance
Every detail of the C 379's design has been refined for maximum performance. Starting with a customized version of the proven HybridDigital UcD output stage, the C 379 operates in a fully balanced bridge configuration. This allows for massive power with nearly immeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range.
The power supply is capable of 80 watts continuously and over 120 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. For even greater power, the C 379 can be bridged in mono with the C 268 power amp to provide up to 300 watts per channel of distortion-free sound.
Brilliant Musicality and Detail
The C 379's digital architecture is built around the critically acclaimed ESS SABRETM ES9028 DAC, one of the industry's highest performance 32-bit digital-to-analog converts with unprecedented dynamic range and ultra-low distortion.
It provides ultra-high-quality music playback, free from clock jitter common in digital audio systems. The results are an exceptionally wide dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, accurate sound stage and unparalleled clarity.
Future-Proof Flexibility
Since 2006, NAD has led the way in providing users the flexibility to add features as new A/V technologies are introduced to provide unparalleled performance and value.
Now, with the second generation of NAD's Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology, the C 379 is in a class of its own. It features two MDC2 slots for upgrading the amplifier's capabilities with emerging A/V technologies and additional features, including BluOS™ high-resolution multi- room streaming and Dirac Live Room Correction.
Optional BluOS-D Module for Hi-Res Streaming and Much More
Order the C 379 with or without the optional MDC2 BluOS-D module. This module lets you add Dirac Live, BluOS, Apple AirPlay 2, two-way aptX™ HD Bluetooth, and more features and capabilities to the C 379.
With BluOS, the C 379 can be connected to a home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to experience the most advanced multi-room wireless music management system with 24 bit/192kHz resolution. Controlled through the BluOS app for smartphone, tablet, or desktop, BluOS manages your digital music collection and connects to over 20 high-quality streaming music services including Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Spotify, and more.
Connect EVERYTHING!
The C 379 is well equipped with a variety of analog and digital connectivity options including aptX HD Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, an MM Phono stage, and two subwoofer outputs. aptX HD can easily support 24-bit streaming from any Bluetooth enabled device, while HDMI eARC allows you to connect the C 379 to your TV and provide seamless control from your existing remote.
It also includes a built-in high-performance headphone amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage capability, allowing it to drive a wide range of headphones.
New! Support for Qobuz Connec
Big news for music lovers! Starting September 2025, BluOS supports Qobuz Connect, making it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite tracks in stunning hi-resolution.
With this update, you’ll be able to stream directly from the Qobuz app to any BluOS-enabled device from Bluesound, NAD Electronics, PSB Speakers, Cyrus Audio, DALI Speakers, and Monitor Audio — all at up to 24-bit/192 kHz quality.
Browse, search, and play right inside the Qobuz app, while BluOS handles what it does best: seamless, reliable multi-room playback. You’ll still manage speaker grouping and volume inside the BluOS app, but control of music selection is now right at your fingertips in Qobuz.
