Description: WE ARE AN AUTHORIZED NAD DEALER!PREOWNED - $2200 LIST! - FULLY TESTED - COMPLETE AND IN GREAT CONDITIONC 399 Hybrid Digital DAC AmplifierAs the new flagship of NAD’s Classic series of integrated amps, the C 399 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier takes NAD’s commitment to lasting value and sonic excellence to a whole new level.The C 399 employs NAD’s Hypex HybridDigital nCore amplifier circuitry, which until now has been available only on Masters Series amplifiers. Its digital section is built around a 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre DAC, the same chip used in NAD’s acclaimed M10 and M33 Masters Series amplifiers.The C 399 is the first amplifier to incorporate the latest generation of NAD’s Modular Design Construction (MDC) technology. MDC2 lets users add optional modules that provide functions such as BluOS multi-room music streaming and Dirac Live room correction.NAD's new classic amplifiers. Intelligent. Powerful. Efficient.Introducing the NAD C399Perfect PowerTrickled down from NAD’s Masters Series, the C 399’s HybridDigital nCore amplifier can deliver 180 Watts per channel continuous power, and 250 Watts per channel instantaneous power. Highly efficient and remarkably powerful, the HybridDigital nCore amplifier can produce musical transients effortlessly. The design is renowned for its wide bandwidth, flat frequency response, clean clipping behavior with instant recovery, high current capability, and stability into demanding low-impedance speaker loads. Noise and distortion are vanishingly low under all operating conditions. The minute levels of harmonic distortion are dominated by sonically benign second and third harmonics. The Hypex nCore design enables the C 399 to produce neutral, distortion-free sound even at very high listening levels, with exquisite detail, superb portrayal of space, and thrilling dynamics.Also trickled down from the Masters Series is the ESS Sabre 9028 high-resolution DAC, a design noted for near-zero levels of clock jitter, ultra-low noise and distortion, and wide dynamic range. This premium DAC enables the C 399 to reproduce all your digital sources with amazing musicality, stunning clarity, and precise soundstaging.Everything’s ConnectedThe C 399 can accommodate all your digital and analogue sources. Its MM phono stage delivers ultra-precise RIAA equalization, extremely low noise, and high overload margins. The phono preamp also features an innovative circuit that suppresses the infrasonic noise present on all LPs, without compromising bass response. There are two sets of line-level line inputs, with low-noise buffer amplifiers to prevent sonic degradation. The C 399 has two optical and two coaxial digital inputs, plus an HDMI-eARC port for playing audio from a connected TV, while controlling amplifier output with the TV’s remote control.In addition to two sets of speaker outputs, the C 399 has preamp output jacks and dual subwoofer outputs. Two-way apt-X HD Bluetooth allows 24-bit streaming from mobile devices, and high-quality output to Bluetooth headphones. Also built-in is a dedicated headphone amplifier with low output impedance and high output voltage capability, enabling the C 399 to drive demanding high-impedance studio monitor headphones.A Timeless ClassicAs with every NAD amplifier ever made, the C 399 gets the basics right: a precise volume control with accurate channel balance, low-noise circuits, and correct input and output impedances. But it goes far beyond the basics. With its HybridDigital nCore output stage and high-resolution ESS Sabre DAC, the C 399 can reproduce all your digital and analogue sources with a level of excitement and refinement that is unprecedented for a Classic-series integrated amplifier.Thanks to NAD’s innovative MDC2 platform, the C 399 will keep pace with future developments. Essentially, MDC2 makes obsolescence obsolete. The C 399 can serve as the hub of a world-class music system today, and for years to come. With NAD’s C 399 HybridDigital DAC Amplifier, the legend continues.Features & DetailsHybrid Digital nCore AmplifierContinuous Power: 180 Watts per channel into 8/4 ohmsInstantaneous Power: 250 Watts per channelVanishingly low harmonic and intermodulation distortionDual MDC2 Ports for expanded functionalityJitter-free 32-bit/384kHz ESS Sabre DACUltra-low-noise MM phono stage with infrasonic filtering circuitryTwo optical, two coaxial digital inputsHDMI-eARC inputTwo pairs of line-level analogue inputs with low-noise buffer amplifiersSpeaker A/Speaker B outputsTwo-way aptX-HD BluetoothDual subwoofer outputsDedicated headphone amplifierIR remote12V Trigger in/outIR in/outRS-232 Serial port for control integration with home automation systemsControl4, Crestron, RTI, URC, AMX, Savant, Elan certifiedAmplificationLine In, Speaker Out (Analog bypass on)Continuous output power into 8 ohms and 4 ohms>180W (ref. 20 Hz-20 kHz at rated THD, both channels driven)THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz)<0.02% (250 mW to 180 W, 8 ohms and 4 ohms)Signal/Noise Ratio>95 dB (A-weighted, 500 mV input, ref. 1 W out in 8 ohms)Clipping power210W (at 1 kHz 0.1 % THD)IHF dynamic power8 ohms: 217 W4 ohms: 400 W2 ohms: 506.4 WPeak output current>26 A (in 1 ohm, 1 ms)Damping factor>150 (ref. 8 ohms, 20Hz to 6.5kHz)Frequency Response±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz)Channel Separation>90dB (1 kHz)>75dB (10 kHz)Input sensitivity (for 180 W in 8 ohms)Line In: 201 mVDigital In: 10.25% FSPreamplifierLine Input, Pre Out (Analog bypass on)THD (20Hz-20kHz)<0.002 % at 2 V outSignal/Noise Ratio>106dB (IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out, unity gain)Channel Separation>100dB (1 kHz); >90 dB (10 kHz)Input Impedance (R and C)56 kohms + 100 pFMaximum Input Signal>4.6 Vrms (ref. 0.1 % THD)Output ImpedanceSource Z + 320 ohmsInput Sensitivity65mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum)Frequency Response±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz)Maximum voltage output – IHF load>>5 V (ref. 0.1 % THD)PhonoPhono Input, Pre Out (Analog bypass on)THD (20Hz-20kHz)<0.01% at 2 V outSignal to Noise Ratio>84dB (200 ohms source; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out)Input Impedance (R and C)46 kohms/100 pFInput Sensitivity1.08mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum)Frequency Response*±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz)Maximum Input Signal at 1kHz>80 mVrms (ref. 0.1 % THD)HeadphoneLine Input, Headphone Out (Analog bypass on)THD (20Hz-20kHz)<0.005% at 1V outSignal/Noise Ratio>107 dB (32 ohms loads; A-WTD, ref. 1V out, unity gainFrequency Response±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz)Channel Separation>62 dB at 1kHzOutput Impedance2.2 OhmsGeneral SpecificationsSupports bit rate/sample rateup to 24 bit/192 kHzFrequency band2.402G- 2.480GMaximum transmit power (dBm)7 dBm ± 2 dBmWeight & DimensionsGross dimensions (W x H x D) **435 x 120 x 390mm (17 1/8 x 4 3/4 x 15 3/8)”Net Weight11.2kg (24.7lb)Shipping Weight13.6kg (30lb)Hi-Fi Heaven1549 Sixth StGreen Bay, WI 54304Contact us with your exact shipping address for accurate shipping cost.Larger speakers and items over 150lbs are strapped to a pallet and shipped via Freight including liftgate and residential delivery.We accept Pay-Pal or credit cards by contacting our store.We offer a 4% discount with payment by Zelle or check.Defective items are exchanged within 14 days from delivery.After 14 days, the manufacturer's warranty will apply.
