Fair ask, not a bargain: A$600 sits above the A$367 median and also above the A$830 75th percentile only by a wide margin? No—it’s comfortably above median but still below the top quartile, so this reads more as an upper-end fair listing than a steal.
That said, the appeal is real: the C 338 is one of NAD’s more useful compact integrateds, with hybrid digital amplification, onboard DAC, Chromecast-era streaming convenience, and enough grip and smoothness to work well in a sensible stereo setup. At A$600, the buy makes most sense if it’s clean, fully functional, and includes the original remote and any streaming/network setup details; those extras matter more here than chasing a lower sticker.
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.
