NAD's C368 delivers 80 watts per channel of superb, clean power. But its Hypex UCD hybrid digital circuit can deliver 120 watts instantaneously. This abundance of "headroom" has been a hallmark of NAD amplifier designs from the beginning. The NAD C368 is the latest evolution of what NAD do best - design and produce integrated amplifiers that offer unparalled performance at real world prices. And for the most modern version - the C368 is also available with the MDC BluOS-2i module ($500 option), which adds direct music streaming and USB capability.

Highly recommended product. Fully backed by NAD's two-year warranty.

"..a great-sounding and forward-looking integrated that will satisfy now and well into the future. The C 368 sounds more powerful than its rating, capturing music’s continuously changing dynamic level with noteworthy precision and exhibiting a dynamic exuberance typical of NAD equipment." - TAS: Editor's Choice
