Despite this being described as a Phono integrated amplifier it has no phono input so wont accommodate vinyl without the addition of a separate external phono pre-amp. These amplifiers run very hot. Even at low volumes with 8 ohm high sensitivity speakers the case gets very warm. This indicates poor design and build quality. The case has a lot of ventilation slots and needs to be spaced 100mm away each side and 500mm away from anything above meaning it cant be used in a stacking system unless it sits on the top shelf with nothing above. This is stated in the owners manual. The sound is not as good as I expected and no where near as good as an old 3020 amp. I also have other NAD amplifiers, a 3020A, a C370 and a C320 and all of these are better than the much newer C326BEE. The SR8 remote control is good and operates other NAD equipment too.Read full review

This is a really great amplifier with bags of power and finesse. I would liken it to a car with a huge, powerful engine. It gives you a very smooth, effortless ride but you do not necessarily need to use even 50 percent of its power. A truly great, well made amplifier with amazing sound. I have coupled this to my Linn Sondek and Mission 770 Mark 1’s and it is pure magic. Highly recommended.

I have had a NAD amp in the past that I purchased second hand but it had been abused and performed poorly so I was a little reluctant to purchase another, But this is a superb sounding amp and I am so far very pleased with it, it has a lot of depth and warmth ( depending on the speakers used) and matched to a decent phono stage it ticks all the boxes for me. One thing I have noticed ( and this seems to be a common thing with this amp) is that it runs fairly hot so I would recommend it be given plenty of breathing space, or as I have done it can be fitted with a good quality silent PC fan inside the casing running to an exterior power supply.

In its price category this amp is one of the best. It can be the first step (with good speakers of course - like KEF Q300) in audiophile's world. It has no DAC so if you want to play music from digital device you need one hooked between the source and the amp. In my search I found that in this price range the built in DAC usually not too good.

Fantastic bit of kit, the sounds it produces are great. it manages to cover all frequency's really well and doesn't miss out deep bass sounds. Nice and striaght forward design that is simplistic and clean. All together very pleased and I have it on most of the time, it keeps up with my very varied tastes in music and copes extremely well.
