THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING NAD.

The NAD C 390DD is a new concept in amplication exemplied by

leading edge audio system architecture. The C 390DD has no analog

stages in its signal path, keeping music in the digital domain right up to

the speaker output. All preamplier functions are executed in the digital

domain without the phase shift, noise and distortion that plague all

analog designs. The C 390DD has small footprint, large power, low energy

consumption, future-proof upgradability, software dened operation,

backward compatibility, easy integration and a new high denition system

architecture. The C 390DD’s 35 bit architecture and 108MHz master clock

make it as one of the most accurate DAC technologies available.

As with all our products, NAD’s “Music First” design philosophy guided the

C 390DD design that it can condently promise you both state-of-the-art

technology and audiophile-quality music listening for years to come.

We encourage you to take a few minutes now to read right through this

manual. Investing a little time here at the outset might save you a good

deal of time later, and is by far the best way to ensure that you make the

most of your investment in the C 390DD.

One more thing: We urge you to register your C 390DD ownership on the

NAD Worldwide Web site:
