The C 328 is an integrated amplifier with phono stage and built-in DAC from NAD, built with comprehensive three-plus-phono connectivity. The C 328 brings NAD's considered engineering to a complete, feature-rich integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

Three single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided. Output power is 50W into both 8 and 4 ohms - a consistent figure across loads. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. At 435 x 70 x 285mm and 4.9kg, the C 328 maintains a manageable, feature-complete integrated amplifier chassis reflecting NAD's considered Canadian engineering standards.

Sound and use context

Expect a dependable, accessible amplification character reflecting NAD's broader considered engineering philosophy, with the built-in DAC and phono stage covering both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly.

Pairing

The built-in DAC and phono stage cover both digital and analogue vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard devices.

Alternatives

NAD's own C 338 offers a considerably more powerful alternative within the same broader accessible catalogue.
