The Hegel H600 integrated amplifier offers many new features, a new chassis design, a new DAC, an improved amplifier section, and an excellent network streamer. The Norwegians also increased the output power of the flagship – now it outputs 303 watts in each channel when operating on a load with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms. At the same time, the damping coefficient reaches 4,000 – the amplifier is able to withstand a drop in load impedance up to 2 ohms.
The Hegel H400 Streamliner integrated Amplifier is a classic Class A/B amplifier that, according to the manufacturer, delivers an impressive 250 watts per channel for speakers with a nominal resistance of 8 ohms. At the same time, the amplifier calmly tolerates a drop in load impedance to 2 ohms.
The H120 uses proprietary Hegel SoundEngine 2 technology, which provides extremely low distortion and a damping factor of over 2000. In many ways, this system works like noise-canceling headphones.
The Hegel H95 amplifier can only be integrated into a home computer network using a wired method, for which it is equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet port. The network streamer unit supports working with external storage via UPnP, as well as using popular streaming services such as Spotify. Apple AirPlay support is also implemented here for live streaming of music from Apple mobile gadgets.
