NAD Electronics presented the C 389 integrated circuit at the High End exhibition in Munich. Like the NAD C 399 released last fall, the novelty received a modular design scheme — NAD Modular Design Construction, MDC2. The amplifier concept uses proprietary HybridDigital UcD circuitry in a balanced architecture. In addition, there is an ESS Sabre DAC on board, which processes PCM resolutions up to 32 bit/384 kHz.
