At US$274, this NAD C338 is a strong bargain, landing well below the 25th percentile of US$300 and the median of US$337 from recent comparable listings. When new, this hybrid integrated retailed between US$649 and US$799, so the current asking price represents roughly 34% of its original cost, making it an exceptional value for a budget-conscious buyer.
The C338 is highly regarded for packing 50W per channel of clean Hypex UcD power alongside a versatile digital suite: four digital inputs, a MM phono stage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and built-in Chromecast and Spotify Connect. Its ability to stream directly from Android and internet radio, combined with solid analog performance, makes it a rare “one-box” solution for modern systems. Unless the condition is questionable or accessories are missing, this clean listing at a deep discount is a clear buying opportunity for anyone wanting streaming flexibility without overspending.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
NAD Electronics was founded in 1972 in London by a group of European audio importers frustrated with the hype surrounding Japanese hi-fi products. Led by visionary American executive Martin L. Borish and brilliant engineer Bjorn Erik Edvardsen, the company emerged from a quest to deliver high-performance audio at accessible prices. Their breakthrough came with the NAD 3020 integrated amplifier, the best-selling hi-fi amp in history, which embodied a philosophy of stripping away non-essentials to prioritize pure sound quality.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in amplifiers—pioneering Class A/B, Class G, and hybrid digital designs—alongside integrated receivers, AV processors, turntables, CD and cassette players, and modern streamers. While not venturing into speakers, headphones, or cables, NAD emphasizes source components and amplification that integrate seamlessly into home theater and custom installation setups, always upholding principles of innovation, simplicity, performance, and value.
Today, as part of Canada's Lenbrook Group and sold in over 80 countries, NAD holds a commanding mid-tier position in the market, revered by audiophiles for affordable excellence rather than ultra-high-end excess. Its "Truth in Power" legacy earns cult status among knowledgeable buyers seeking reliable, award-winning gear that punches above its price, blending vintage heritage with contemporary streaming and hybrid tech.
