Music streaming, TV sound, records, subwoofers, headphones, and speaker control all matter, but the room can start to feel more technical than intentional.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe better answer is not always more equipment. It is a cleaner system centre that brings the important pieces together, keeps daily use simple, and still leaves room for the system to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eStreaming, Room Correction, and NAD Power in One Clean Centre\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe chose the NAD C 379 BluOS because it takes the flexible C 379 platform and makes it more complete from day one. It combines HybridDigital UcD amplification, an ESS SABRE DAC, HDMI eARC, MM phono, dual subwoofer outputs, BluOS streaming, and Dirac Live room correction in one understated Classic Series amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the version to choose when streaming and room tuning are part of the plan now, not later. It can sit at the centre of a music and TV system while keeping the room cleaner, the control simpler, and the upgrade path open.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat the Specs Won't Tell You\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming Without Another Box on Display\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBluOS gives the C 379 BluOS access to high-resolution music, major streaming services, internet radio, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and BluOS multi-room playback. The system becomes easier to use without adding another visible component to the shelf or cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThat matters in shared spaces where the audio system needs to feel calm and intentional, not scattered. Music can start from a phone or tablet, but it still plays through proper speakers and a real amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoom Correction for Better Balance Where the System Actually Sits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDirac Live helps the system work with the space instead of assuming perfect placement. Furniture, flooring, windows, open layouts, and speaker positions can all affect the final result, especially through the bass and lower midrange.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith room correction built into the plan, the C 379 BluOS has a better chance of sounding balanced in the space where it will actually be used. The room can stay visually clean while the amplifier helps manage the parts of the sound the space makes difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Amplifier for TV, Vinyl, Streaming, and Subwoofers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHDMI eARC makes the C 379 BluOS useful for better TV sound, while the MM phono input keeps a turntable in the same system. Dual subwoofer outputs give more control over bass placement, and the digital and analogue inputs leave room for other sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is a system that can handle everyday listening, serious music sessions, TV audio, and future changes without turning into a stack of separate components.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eExpert Consensus\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoundStage Access\u003c\/strong\u003e - SoundStage Access praised the C 379 for robust bass, clarity, punch, imaging, and excellent value. The review also highlighted its upgradable design, BluOS and Dirac path, strong connectivity, headphone performance, and practical role as a flexible modern integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe Audio Two Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe NAD C 379 BluOS is the better choice when the system needs to feel complete right away. It keeps the flexibility of the standard C 379, then adds the streaming and room correction pieces that many systems eventually need anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe would choose this version when BluOS, app control, multi-room playback, and Dirac are part of the plan from the start. The standard C 379 still makes sense when another streamer is already in place, but the BluOS version is the cleaner long-term fit for many music and TV systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Industry Take:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Best value I’ve encountered in quite some time.\" — \u003cem\u003eSoundStage Access\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTech You Can Hear\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat You Hear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhy It Happens\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean drive for quality speakers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybridDigital UcD amplification with 80W per channel into 8 or 4 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSimple access to high-resolution music\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluOS streaming with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and more\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetter bass and room balance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirac Live room correction through the BluOS-D module\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMore detail from digital sources\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eESS SABRE ES9028 32-bit\/384kHz DAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetter TV sound through the stereo system\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI eARC input\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVinyl without another component\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt-in MM phono stage with accurate RIAA equalization\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMore flexible bass placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual independent subwoofer outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHybridDigital UcD integrated amplifier with BluOS-D module\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e80W per channel into 8 ohms or 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eESS SABRE ES9028 32-bit\/384kHz DAC\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBluOS high-resolution streaming with Wi-Fi and Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDirac Live room correction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHDMI eARC, optical, coaxial, line-level, Bluetooth, and MM phono inputs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDual independent subwoofer outputs, stereo preamp outputs, 12V trigger, IR, and RS-232\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Audio Two\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAudio Two ships across Canada.
