Oslo, Norway: In a significant move that's set to redefine the high-fidelity audio landscape, Hegel Music Systems has announced the launch of its latest creation - the Hegel H600 integrated amplifier. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Hegel is marking the occasion with what can only be described as an audio masterpiece.
The H600, dubbed as the company's reference integrated amplifier, is a tour de force in the world of high-end audio. Packing a formidable 303 watts per channel into 8 ohms and a remarkable damping factor of 4000, it's designed to drive any speaker with unparalleled confidence and ease. The dual mono design of the H600 mirrors the performance of two mono amps in a single box, a feat of engineering that delivers an unmatched soundstage with a broad dynamic range and deep, controlled bass.
A highlight of the H600 is its bit-perfect digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This state-of-the-art component ensures pure audio fidelity, free from any resampling or upsampling. With a large, dedicated power supply and robust shielding against interference, the DAC provides exceptional resolution and smoothness. The amplifier's chassis, crafted from aluminum, adds to its audio performance, offering enhanced stability and reduced vibrations.
Embracing the era of digital music, the H600 comes equipped with an array of streaming options, including UPnP, Airplay 2, Tidal Connect, and Roon Ready compatibility. This broad suite of features ensures that the amplifier is not just a powerhouse of performance but also a hub of convenience and accessibility. Additionally, the amplifier boasts a wide range of analog and digital connections, including True Balanced XLR inputs, USB 32/384 input, and optical inputs, making it a versatile centerpiece for any audio setup.
The Hegel H600 isn't just about remarkable technical capabilities; it's also a winner in aesthetics and ease of use. Recently, it received the prestigious EISA award for Best High-End Streaming Amplifier, a testament to its outstanding quality and innovation. The EISA committee lauded the H600 for its upgraded digital stage, bespoke error-cancelling technology, and redesigned preamp stage, all contributing to its organic, compelling performance.
