NAD C3050 Stereophonic Amplifier with BluOS Module

NAD C3050 Integrated Amplifier Retro Aesthetics Meet Modern Engineering: The NAD C3050 features a classic, 1970s-inspired design (walnut-finished cabinet, analog-style controls, VU meters) that provides a cohesive, stylish look, while internally housing cutting-edge audio technology. Versatile Digital Connectivity and Future-Proofing: The NAD C 3050 amplifier is thoroughly modern on the inside, featuring a high-resolution DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), HDMI eARC input for seamless TV integration, Bluetooth aptX HD, and a dedicated headphone amplifier. Its Modular Design Construction (MDC2) port allows for upgrades, such as the optional BluOS-D module for high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction, ensuring the system remains current. Dynamic and Inviting Sound: The NAD's HybridDigital UcD amplifier technology provides 100 watts of continuous power per channel with vanishingly low noise and distortion. Reviews Winner of the EISA awards "From the outside the C 3050 pays homage to NAD’s earliest designs with its faithfully executed vintage styling, but in all other respects this is thoroughly modern integrated amp with a do-it-all ethos. Power, rated at 2x100W, comes via Class D amplification, and connectivity includes HDMI eARC, a dedicated MM phono input and more. Plug in NAD’s optional BluOS-D card and the functionality grows to include superior streaming options (including app control and multiroom compatibility), plus Dirac room calibration. And while the forward-thinking technology delivers impressive sound quality, you can feast your eyes on the C 3050’s large VU meters. What’s that about having your cake and eating it?" NAD C3050 is awarded Stereophile Recommended Component " JA commented that the C 3050 LE's presentation was very similar to that of NAD's more expensive M10. "Excellent upper-bass articulation was combined with a natural-sounding midrange and clean highs." "The NAD slightly exceeded its specified power of 100Wpc into 8 ohms. JA's conclusion: "NAD's C 3050 LE is an excellent example of a modern, full-featured, solid state integrated amplifier.
