Excellent review, you nailed it. I just got one yesterday and am very impressed by the sound quality at this price point. I was upgrading from a Pioneer Elite VSX07 that was over 20 years old. I bought a set of KEF LS50's last year and this amp totally opened them up and they are finally sounding like the speakers people rave about.

NAD has served me well since I bought my first preamp and amp back in the mid 80's from NAD. NAD's design philosophy has been a solid foundation for excellent products over the years. I have been skeptical about their venture into class D. However thanks to this excellent review I will be open minded and will consider trying it for my second system.

@@erikquinn707 Hi Eric I,m an audiophile for over 50 years and I'm not claiming that I and expert but the NAD C 388 is a great product plenty of power and as you mention you can upgrade the AMP. It is a forward- future proof Amp and I'm very happy with it. It controls my speakers very well(Dynaudio)that needs lots of power happy in all aspects. Besides that it is 90% efficient meaning your electric bill will be lower and if you upgrade to the module Bluo-OS 2I it is Roon ready . I use Roon software to manage my music library. Go for it and the online service is very good and helpful. Perhaps you know you can get the latest software for your amp by download it on your USB stick and use the USB connection on your amp to have the latest improved software for you amp. Soundwise I'm happy as it controls my speaker very well bass is tight and mids and highs are clear dead quiet background no noise whatsoever. Overall it's effortless and if you want to go further you can download a room correction software on your laptop that will screen the listening room that you can store for even further improvement of your listening environment which can make a huge difference. I hope it will make your decision a bit easier. Regards Roland.

Thanks for the review and your thoughts. I like this amp and was considering purchase as it's now available at substantially discounted prices however time has moved on a little since your review. The bluOS is the older module and does not have DIRAC, the MDU slot cannot take the new module unfortunately. The hf bypass (if used) for use with sub is hard set at 150hz, which seems strange and basically useless (for me). If these things are not of concern then the amp is very good buying at current prices. Still not much competition around today at similar money that provides all the performance and functionality of the C368 in one unit. Cheers.

I bought the C368 in 2016 and listened to Apple Music and vinyl on it for a couple of years, liking it very much. Then recently I added the Bluos 2i and subscribed to Tidal. MQA is the answer I have been waiting for for decades: I’m amazed at the sound, which is infinitely better than CD (which I’ve never liked). And I was surprised to find that MQA not only preserves the advantages digital sound has over vinyl (yes there are some), it also adds the wonderful analogue warmth and clarity of vinyl. I hope MQA becomes mainstream and the Tidal HiRes subscription cost comes down!

If you come once day to the conclusion to upgrade the c368 with a C268 in Bridgemode, you've to connect via Sub-Out und you will lose the ability to use your sub12f (for example). Even you can't just use the new Eigentakt C298 with C368 or fE just e tube amplifier. There is no real Line-out It's my mistake. All title bit. I did not thought about before. So this thing is wonderful, but it won't stay for a long time here.

Yes you can. You simply point the BluOS player to the share on your NAS that holds the music and it will index it but leave the music files on your NAS. You need to use a smartphone or tablet as a remote control for selecting the music but it will not hold the music. Again, the music remains at your NAS. The BluOS player in the C368 will store a database with titels of your music for fast access and the tablet/smartphone will read that database, display it and let you choose. When you choose a track or an album the tablet/smartphone will report that back to the BluOS player that will get the appropriate music file(s) from your NAS and play them.
