Future-Proof Modular Design
This NAD exclusive feature allows you to customize your NAD amplifier
with additional capabilities and features, now or in the future. The two
available MDC slots can accommodate a variety of upgrade modules
including additional digital inputs, additional analogue inputs, and one of
the most advanced Hi-Res Audio multi-room wireless systems available,
the BluOS™ music management system developed by Bluesound. BluOS
connects to your network and is controlled via smartphone, tablet or
desktop to manage your music collection and connect to a growing list of
high-quality streaming music services.
Connected and Smart
You can connect instantly to the C 368 with Bluetooth
®
allowing you to
stream music wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device. The high
performance aptX
®
codec is fully supported for true CD-quality sound.
Bluetooth can also be used to listen to other sources connected to the
C 368 via wireless headphones such as NAD’s own HP70. There is also a
control app that allows your smartphone or tablet to control all functions
of your C 368. Adding the optional BluOS Module provides access to
your local area network via Wi-Fi or 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
that is fully compatible with BluOS-enabled music systems and wireless
speakers. These are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit
every room and extend the performance of your primary music system
to create a warm ambience of sound in your home.
Sophisticated Power
NAD has moved away from the old-fashioned power-hungry
linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that waste
nearly half of the energy consumed and produce heat rather
than sound. Instead, we have developed even better performing
circuits based on switch mode power supplies and Class D output
stages. Once thought to be inferior to traditional topologies,
NAD’s advanced work in this area has created some of the best
performing amplifiers regardless of basic design principle. These
new designs are very linear over a wide bandwidth and provide
consistent performance into all speaker loads, providing a
dramatic advance over previous models.
The power supply is capable of 80 watts continuously and over
120 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical
transients. It can operate with any AC mains voltage from 100 to
240 volts and provides pure DC power to all the various stages of
the C 368. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect
regulation of voltage across a wide range of conditions and
provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages.
The C 368 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex
UcD output stage. This allows for massive power with nearly
unmeasurable distortion and noise in the audible range. Every
detail of this design has been carefully planned and perfectly
executed to wring out every last drop of performance.
