Paying tribute to NAD’s 50-year history of innovation and value, the C 3050’s vintage designwas inspired by the NAD 3030 Stereophonic Amplifier, a 1970s classic. Retro design elementsinclude dual VU meters, push-button input selectors, a walnut-finished vinyl-clad cabinet, anda dark grey front panel with the original New Acoustic Dimension logo in its 1970s cursivetypeface. Underneath its vintage-inspired exterior are advanced features like a HybridDigitalUcD output stage, high-performance Texas Instruments PCM5242 differential DAC, and NAD’sMDC2 future-proofing technology. Unit comes equipped with BluOS high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction.
