Owner`s manual

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:
