NAD C388 integrated amp MDC capable

It is by far the best piece of stereo reproduction equipment i have ever owned. The sound quality is superior. Lots of power, great sound stage, perfect bass. Very high quality

If you want a great sounding amp, buy this amp.If you want a tightly integrated package with Spotify/Airplay 2 etc. Look somewhere else. The software on this amp is under all criticism. It crashes constantly, wakes up for no reason and has inconsistent volume control between streaming apps.

This is a fantastic sounding amp. Don't let its size and weight fool you because it will power any speakers that you can think of. It will do so with authority and finesse. I was in the market for an integrated amp to go with my new pair of Monitor Audio Gold 100 and I have looked at many amps in this price range. I have had some NAD gears in the past and have liked them. Hence, I decided to give this guy a go. I was skeptical at first since it is not built like your "traditional" class A/B amps with big power transformers and capacitors. Since I got it from Crutchfield, I figured I can return it if it doesn't work out. Once everything was hooked up, this little guy just put a smile on my face. The sound quality is phenomenal to say the least! The first thing I noticed with this amp is how transparent music sounded. Secondly, you can just feel the power with this amp. I just love how engaging and interesting this amp sound. It makes your music more alive, unlike many other amps that sound flat and lifeless. Also, I use the preamp output for my SVS SB-4000 subwoofer. For some reason, the subwoofer just sound much better in this setup. The build quality is nicer than your typical home theater receiver, but not over built or anything. The front panel is plastic and I wished it was metal. Front LCD screen is pretty cool and the volume control knob is very smooth and well dampened. I am just glad I bought this amplifier. It works very well for my taste.

Amazing how much better sound quality you can buy for $1500 compared to 20 years ago. I let the NAD burn in for more than a week so now I can fairly admit that for the money, it's awesome. It's just two channel with limited inputs and the software might as well be dismissed (but upgrades keep coming..?.. however, switching imports and A and B speakers is easy. I have it hooked up to tall Axiom and occasionally Totem speakers, Transparent cables and Sonos feeds Tidal and Google Play. I have a very large triple room open floor plan, and there's no problem filling it up with ample amounts of beautiful tunes. The sound stage and instrument separation tonality is pretty good and a huge upgrade from previous generation nad's, and great to get such awesome music delivered at this price.

This Amplifier is awesome. Even at low volume you can feel the POWER!!!!! The Wattage however is 150 Watts and it is plenty. I bought mine through Crutchfield for $220 (12.52%) less.
