C 375BEE DAC Integrated Amplier
Our C 375BEE DAC Integrated Amplier is ready for 24/96 digital music thanks to its built-in MDC DAC, part of NAD’s exclusive
Modular Design Construction (MDC) program. Applying technology from our leading Masters Series M3 Amplier, the C 375BEE
DAC is an innovation-driven design with rened amplier performance and 150W of jaw-dropping power. The C 375BEE DAC
offers stellar performance, exibility, unmatched value—and with MDC—a lifetime of musical enjoyment.

Features
> All Digital, Ultra Low Distortion
The C 375BEE DAC will bring your digital music collection
to life through your hi- system in pristine form. Using an
‘asynchronous USB’ and a high precision clock, your high
resolution 24/96 downloads will be heard in absolute digital
purity, just as they were meant to be heard. The DAC’s high
precision clock and built-in NAD customised software control
the PC, thus distortion can be virtually eliminated.
> Modular Design Construction (MDC)
The C 375BEE DAC is equipped with our MDC DAC USB
Digital Analogue Converter, so you can play all your computer
music without any compromise. An additional MDC slot gives
this DAC amplier the exibility to upgrade in the future or add
more functionality, such as the PP 375 Phono Preamplier.
MDC kicks technology obsolescence to the curb!
> The Powerful Truth
Using a Holmgren Torodial Power Transformer, the C
375BEE DAC won’t let you down with its impressive 150W
of continuous power per channel and ultra low levels of noise
and distortion. We use the most demanding performance
rating—Full Disclosure Power (FDP)—to measure distortion
under the most extreme conditions of low impedance loads
and frequency extremes, rather than the easy 1kHz @ 8
ohms test used by many of our competitors. So NAD FDP
isn’t just a number—it’s the truth.
> The Power of BEE
The C 375BEE DAC incorporates legendary Bjorn Erik
Edvardsen’s (BEE) patented Distortion Cancelling Circuit
in the output stage and BEE Clamp in the power supply.
NAD PowerDrive™ delivers very high dynamic power and
low impedance drive to accurately control loudspeakers for
musically detailed, coherent, and relaxed sound. PowerDrive
offers the capability of an amplier twice as powerful without
draining energy. Plus, our exclusive Soft Clipping protects
your speakers (and ears) from damaging clipping distortion.
> Hi-Fi Flexibility
The C 375BEE DAC is equipped with seven line inputs and
the preamplier section can be separated from the power
amplier for ultimate exibility. A 12V-trigger system allows
for remote on/off switching of ancillary components in a
system, like a CD player or tuner, or to bridge with another
NAD power amplier like the C 275BEE. The C 375BEE DAC
also has rear panel IR in and out for CI applications.
