NAD C 359S – Integrated Amplifier for Streaming, Records and TV Sound
The NAD C 359S is a stereo integrated amplifier for anyone who wants to listen to music and TV sound through the same system. It combines streaming and existing playback sources in a single device and remains directly operable in everyday use with its buttons and control knobs.
Key Features at a Glance
- Music without an additional streamer: BluOS provides access to streaming services, internet radio, and your own music collection on the network.
- Direct operation: Buttons, control knobs, and the included remote control complement the app control.
- A system for multiple sources: Connections for TV, turntable, and other audio devices.
- Extend the bass as needed: Subwoofer connection to extend the bass reproduction.
Streaming and Music in Multiple Rooms
Streaming services, internet radio, and music from the home network can be selected via the BluOS Controller app. The streaming function is already integrated; no additional device or expansion module is required.
With other compatible BluOS devices, music playback can be extended to other rooms. The network connection is via Wi-Fi or LAN cable.
Select Volume and Sources Directly on the Device
For those who do not want to reach for their smartphone for every change, the amplifier can be operated using its physical buttons and control knobs. An infrared remote control is also included.
The Class AB power stage drives a pair of passive speakers. At a load of 8 ohms, 70 watts per channel are continuously available; full power and measurement data can be found in the technical specifications section.
Use TV, Vinyl, and CD Together
A compatible TV is connected via HDMI eARC. A phono input is available for a turntable with an MM cartridge; CD players and other sources can be connected via analog or optical inputs. The separately available NAD C 569 is a suitable addition for your CD collection.
Music from your smartphone can also be transmitted via Bluetooth. For transmission with aptX HD, the sending device must also support this codec. A dedicated headphone output allows listening without speakers.
Integrate a Subwoofer and Relieve Speakers in the Bass Range
An active subwoofer can be added via the subwoofer output. The optional high-pass filter removes low frequencies from the main speakers' signal, so they and the amplifier have to do less work in the bass range.
C 359S and C 379 Compared
Unlike the C 379, the C 359S comes with BluOS. The C 379 requires the separately available MDC2 BluOS D module for this, but with its expansion slots, it also offers the option of Dirac Live room correction; it also uses a HybridDigital UcD power stage instead of the C 359S's Class AB amplification.
| Feature | C 359S | C 379 |
|---|---|---|
| Amplification | Class AB | HybridDigital UcD |
| BluOS Streaming | Integrated | Via optional MDC2 BluOS D module |
| Dirac Live | Not supported | With optional MDC2 BluOS D module |
| Device weight | 9 kg | 9 kg |
Suitability and Important Notes
Who is the amplifier suitable for?
- For a stereo system with a pair of passive speakers.
- For households that want to listen to music and TV sound through the same system.
- For listeners with records, CDs, and music on the home network.
Important Notes
- For the TV connection, the TV must support HDMI eARC.
Conclusion
The C 359S is suitable for a stereo system that combines analog music collections and everyday digital sources. This is particularly practical for households that do not want to switch between a separate streaming system and the system for TV and records.
