Powerful

The HybridDigital™ nCore power amplifiers of the C 399 are highly efficient and remarkably powerful. They mobilise a continuous output power of 2 x 180 watts and reach impulse power peaks of up to 500 watts at 2 Ω. The HybridDigital™ nCore design is renowned for its wide bandwidth, extremely smooth frequency response, clean clipping behaviour, high current delivery capability and stability under demanding low impedance speaker loads. Noise and distortion remain negligibly low under all operating conditions, which is why the C 399 always performs in a particularly neutral, dynamic, detailed and spacious manner at all volume levels.
The high-resolution ESS Sabre 9028 D/A converter, which is characterised by its wide dynamic range, extremely low noise, low distortion and almost zero jitter, has also been adopted from the Masters series. With this first-class D/A converter, the C 399 can reproduce all digital sources amazingly musically, precisely and with breathtaking clarity.

Timeless classic

Since the debut of the legendary 3020 integrated amplifier in 1978, hi-fi fans have appreciated the NAD brand for its outstanding sound quality combined with fantastic value for money. The C 399 continues this tradition on a whole new level.
Like every NAD amplifier, the C 399 has been designed based on all the fundamentals required for optimum sound quality: precise volume control with accurate channel balance, low-noise circuitry and the right input and output impedances. But with its HybridDigital™ nCore power amplifiers and high-resolution ESS Sabre D/A converter, the C 399 achieves an audiophile level of reproduction of all digital and analogue audio sources that is unprecedented for a Classic Series integrated amplifier.
What's more, thanks to the innovative MDC2 platform, the C 399 is already perfectly equipped for future technologies and will continue to be the powerful and universal heart of high-quality music systems for decades to come. The C 399 integrated amplifier continues the NAD legend.
