The NAD C3050 is a multi-award winning integrated amplifier that celebrates the company’s rich and successful history, while also looking forward to the technologies that will shape home audio for many years to come. As a tribute to NAD’s 50th anniversary, the C3050 looks right at home in either a modern or vintage-styled rig. Â The brushed aluminum front faceplate with “old fashioned” style knobs and buttons hide a plethora of hi-tech goodies behind them. Â
Featuring a generous 100 watts per channel of solid state power, using NAD’s patented UcD “PowerDrive” Class-D output modules, this amp will power any speaker and bring out richness and detail like few others can.  And the dual VU meters give a lovely visual presentation to accompany the smooth and rich sound that this little amplifier can provide. Â
The C3050 also includes an on-board TI PCM5242 24/192 DAC for digital signals including bi-directional APT-X HD 5.0 Bluetooth communication. Â In addition to Bluetooth, five physical digital connection points are provided: coaxial, optical/TOSLINK, and HDMI. Â And on top of that, the C3050 is equipped with an MDC2 expansion card which allows for the BluOS/Bluesound hi-res streaming functionality to be loaded directly onto the amp.
