NAD C399 connected to the Nalai Hypex 500 Monoblocks as a preamp.

Hello Guru's,

Need some help with specs to make sure these two are compatible. NAD SPECS:

 

PREAMPLIFIER SECTION LINE INPUT, PRE-OUT (Analog bypass on) THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz) 106 dB (IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out, unity gain) Channel separation >100 dB (1 kHz) >90 dB (10 kHz) Input impedance (R and C) 56 kohms + 100 pF Maximum input signal >4.6 Vrms (ref. 0.1 % THD) Output impedance Source Z + 320 ohms Input sensitivity 65 mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum) Frequency response ±0.3 dB (20 Hz - 20 kHz) Maximum voltage output -IHF load >5 V (ref. 0.1 % THD

I don't think anyone but the OP himself can give any meaningful answer to this question!

@imhififan Of course that’s up to the OP.  That should be understood.

Specs seem fine.  The key question is if the sound characteristics of the NAD synergize well with the amp for your particular tastes/preferences and within the context of your system.
