The two available MDC slots can accommodate a variety of upgrade modules including 4K video capable HDMI switching, additional Digital Inputs, additional Analogue and Phono 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 device to manage your music collection and connect to a dynamic list of high-quality streaming music services.

Functionally Sophisticated Design

NAD has made a detour from the obsolete, power-hungry linear power supplies and Class AB output stages that waste nearly half of the energy consumed and produce heat rather than sound. The power supply is capable of 150 watts continuously and over 250 watts instantaneously to facilitate 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 388. This highly efficient supply also provides near perfect regulation of voltage across a diverse range of conditions and provides a solid noise-free foundation for the amplifying stages. The C 388 uses a customized version of the proven Hypex UcD output stage operating in a fully balanced bridge configuration. This enables unleashing of massive power with imperceptible distortion and noise in the audible range. Every detail of this design has been meticulously planned and perfectly executed to produce out every last drop of performance.
