The most versatile NAD amplifier ever with Hybrid Digital technology and built-in Chromecast
Introducing the NAD C338
Getting the basics right
Built with NAD's renowned approach to audio architecture and amplifier design, the C 338 is equipped with the most advanced components commonly found in NAD's class-leading amplifier line. Always starting with the details you can hear and progressing from there, NAD develops low-noise circuits with the precision and stability required to deliver incredible, near-distortion-free sound for the most demanding speakers.

HybridDigital Amp Technology
The search for a high-performance Class D solution led NAD to HybridDigital, an innovative amplification technology that uses a variable modulation frequency to enhance the life-like qualities of music, reducing distortion under all operating conditions. This highly optimized design delivers phenomenal performance for the C 338 amplifier, both in measured and subjective terms.

Efficient Class D Power
NAD has worked tirelessly to create the best Class D amplifiers that are energy-efficient and produce great sound, not heat, regardless of basic design principles. Using advanced measurements and data, NAD developed the highly efficient power supply for the C 338 with a custom Hypex® UCD output stage to deliver 50 watts continuously and over 200 watts instantaneously to meet the demands of dynamic music. This new design is highly linear across a wide bandwidth, providing consistent, noise-free performance for amplification stages with near-perfect voltage regulation.

Always Ready for Streaming
The C 338 comes with built-in Chromecast, allowing you to cast music, tracks, podcasts, and playlists from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet, or laptop to your stereo system. Spotify Connect® lets you discover millions of songs and stream them directly to your C 338 using the Spotify® app for a rich, wireless music experience. With the added flexibility of Bluetooth®, the music streaming possibilities are truly limitless with the C 338.

Integrated Phono Stage for Vinyl Listening
Using a MM phono stage and an innovative low-noise circuit path, the C 338 is able to reproduce the warmth of LPs with accurate RIAA equalization and control infrasonic noise present in all recordings, without ever affecting the low-end response.

Flexible Connectivity
With a wide range of connections, including a separate headphone amplifier capable of driving high-impedance studio headphones, the C 338 is ready for any listening type. The line inputs can accommodate all types of analog source components, offering an ideal input impedance with low-noise linear buffer amplifiers to preserve the musicality of recordings. You can also connect a subwoofer with low-impedance line outputs and extend the versatility of this affordable "DIY" amplifier.
