NAD Electronics

Experience the exquisite sound of a well-built amplifier and the convenience of Chromecast built-in with the NAD Electronics C 338 Network Hybrid Digital Integrated Amplifier. NAD has always been known for their music-first mentality in building components. The C 338 continues that tradition with their highly-efficient HybridDigital amp technology.Capable of delivering 50W per channel RMS power with incredibly low noise and distortion, the C 338 is perfect for stereo sound in small to medium-sized listening spaces. Analog and digital inputs are available to connect a wide variety of devices including a phono stage input for a record player. Integrated Wi-Fi provides Chromecast built-in support and with available Bluetooth, the C 338 can stream wirelessly from any compatible device and many different services. Control it with the included IR remote or download the NAD Remote App for iOS and Android and turn your smart device into a Wi-Fi remote control.Getting the Basics Right Built with NAD's renowned music-first approach to audio architecture and amp design, the C 338 is equipped with the most advanced components commonly found in NAD's class-leading line of amplifiers. Always starting with the details you can hear and advancing from there, NAD develops low-noise circuitry with the precision and stability to deliver incredible, near-zero distortion sound for the most difficult speakers.Hybrid Digital Hypex UcD Amplifier The search for a high-performance Class D solution led NAD to HybridDigital, an innovative amplifier technology that uses a variable modulation frequency to bring out the life-like qualities of music, while reducing distortion under every operating condition. This highly optimized design gives phenomenal performance to the C 338 amplifier, both measured and subjective.NAD has worked tirelessly to create the best performing ClassD amplifiers that are energy efficient and produce beautiful sound not heat regardless of basic design principles. Using advanced measurements and data, NAD developed the C 338 s highly efficient power supply with a customised Hypex UCD output stage to pump out dynamic power of 160 watts continuously and over 300 watts instantaneously to meet the demands of the most dynamic music. This new design is very linear over a wide bandwidth and provides consistent, noise-free performance for the amplifying stages with near perfect regulation of voltage.Versatile Connectivity The C 338 can accommodate a wide variety of audio source devices. There are two high-quality stereo RCA line inputs along with a third RCA MM Phono stage input with precisely accurate RIAA equalization. Two digital coaxial and two optical audio inputs are available for digital audio components, like CD and Blu-ray players. Also included is a a separate headphone amplifier with low output impedance and very high output voltage capability, enough to drive even high impedance studio monitor headphones.Line inputs can accommodate all kinds of analogue source components, offering ideal input impedance with linear ultra-low noise buffer amplifiers to preserve the musicality of recordings. Also connect a subwoofer with low impedance line output and extend the versatility of this budget-friendly, do-it-all amplifier.Always Ready for Streaming Featuring Chromecast built-in, the C 338 allows you to stream and cast music directly from a mobile device or any music streaming app, letting you enjoy your music wirelessly. With Bluetooth also natively integrated, the C 338 can wirelessly connect to any smartphone, tablet, or Bluetooth-enabled device within range to seamlessly stream your favorite music apps or libraries in high-fidelity.NAD Remote App The NAD Remote transforms your smartphone or tablet into a powerful controller for the C 338. Reinventing the traditional NAD remote control with an intuitive user interface, and the ability to wirelessly control your amp, the NAD Remote can easily control and adjust functions like power, vol
