NAD C 3050 Stereophonic Amplifier

NAD revisits their past with this retro design integrated amplifier complete with modem features and options.

The NAD C 3050 Stereo Integrated Amplifier combines the vintage-inspired design of the brand's 1970s-era 3030 with the latest modern audio technologies. The C 3050 includes NAD’s latest Modular Design Construction platform - MDC2, so your system is easily customisable and ready for feature and technology upgrades. True to the brand's values, the C 3050 delivers exceptional performance, leading-edge innovation, simplicity, and long-term value. In addition to the C 3050's dark grey finish and cursive-styled branding, its retro appeal extends to its dual VU meters, a walnut-finished vinyl-clad metal case, and the use of physical buttons for input controls.  

At the heart of the C 3050 is NAD’s proven HybridDigital UcD amplifier design delivering 100 watts per channel continuously and 135 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. The digital section is built around a Texas Instruments’ PCM5242 high-resolution differential DAC, a design known for its excellent dynamic performance and immunity to clock jitter. This high performance DAC enables the C 3050 to reproduce all your digital sources with amazing musicality, stunning clarity, and precise soundstaging.
