I first heard the Hegel sound in the open reception area of a local audio shop here in Vancouver. No special room acoustics or treatments, nothing, just a normal room. The speakers used were the small Harbeths. I was stunned and I said to my friend, after we left the shop, "That was the best sound I have ever heard EVER" and I have owned a lot of audio equipment going all the way back to the late 60's. Although I am now a pensioner and new audio toys mean I must save, this H95 with the improved DAC, is a must to own. The reason I was hesitant on purchasing the previous H90 was simply the DAC. I knew that an external DAC would also have to be purchased and that meant another 700 USD. Oddly enough, I found a trustworthy analysis and review where the very DAC I was considering was compared to the DAC in this unit. The comparison was most favourable compared with the older DAC in the H90. So ... I must and will own a H95 because I know how fantastic the H90 sounded without the new up-grades. Thank-you Hegel ... I almost feel like I am taking candy from a baby because here in Canada there has been no price increase. Again, thank you and I wish you mountains of success.

Hi dear Hegel Team, here's my feedback in a nutshell, for what it's worth: I love the H95! I was in the market for a modern, sleek amplifier for an average sized room (20-25 sqm) that allows me to stream music directly (no bluetooth, just Spotify or Tidal connect and Apple Airplay 2 just in case) to my speakers. Unfortunately, what broke the H95s neck for me was that it has to be connected via ethernet. You likely have your reasons, but from my point of view it a) defeats the purpose of modern listening to have this last wired connection and more importantly b) my router is not in the same room as my speakers, and I was not about to run a 20 meter ethernet cable through my small apartment. So I went for the Bluesound powernode instead. Perhaps this feedback is of value to you.
@HegelMusicSystem3 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this when though you eventually chose the Bluesound. I do see your point og course. I myself currently use a so called powerline adaptor (20-30€) to avoid the long network cable. The reason we do not have WiFi is actually sound performance and stability.

Another quick question regarding Airplay. I know for sure that in case of Chromecast (both external and built-in) the streaming always takes place on the receiver's side and sender is merely telling a remote URL a given track should be downloaded from. That being said, I wonder what is responsible for the actual streaming of data in case of Airplay protocol: is it a sender (iPhone, iPad) or receiver (TV or Hegel amplifier in this case)? I'm an Android user but having tried Airplay several times in the past (mainly from iOS Plex app) I've got an impression that playback stops once the sender side is switched off which makes me think that data is literally relayed through the air. Is there anything unique about Hegel integration of Airplay protocol that allows it to leverage Ethernet connection in order to stream music?

Do you mind to give a brief explanation the difference between H120 and H 190 beside the wattage, damping factor and price ? 2. H90 has been upgraded to H95.

Hi Wylie. Thank you for writing to us. 1) First of all the things you mentioned. There are twice the number of output devices, there are double size power supplies. There are also component level improvements in the preamplifier that give the H190 a bit fuller and richer sound. But if you have small easy load loudspeakers the difference may not be enough for you. Myself I play it a lot with floor standing B&W and KEF speakers and then I find the difference quite significant. 2) There will definitively not be an H195 in 2021. That is certain. There actually are no specific plans for it at all, we had simply run out of full numbers after the H90. H100 had already been used, hence the H95.

We have often used it with the 702S2 in presentations. So that works really well.

Hi, at the moment I can change my H95 for an H20 at 5000nok more. (H120*) The speakers the amp will be paired with is DALI Rubicon 2. Speakers will be used in a small room. Will it be worth the extra money or should I keep the H95? What differences can I expect?
@HegelMusicSystem2 жыл бұрын
Depends. The H20 is a power amplifier so you also need a preamp. But it should be a lot more dynamic and with better resolution.

@@HegelMusicSystem The big question is price to performance do I guess what I'm really wondering is how much of a different that extra power will make and if the difference would be big enough to be worth paying for when the amp is paired with Rubicon 2. What difference has it made on other speakers you've tested? You wrote more dynamic and better resolution does that translate to a bigger sound picture and more lively music that sounds less flat?

Why is there no phono input?
@HegelMusicSystem Жыл бұрын
The reason is cost. To make a really good internal phono stage it would need to be well shielded also. So it boils down to cost.

That USB limitation, though...
@HegelMusicSystem3 жыл бұрын
We really understand the frustration over the 24/95kHz limit. It was a well thought through decision though. We did find a very good receiver chip that performs really well and at a very low cost. The only limitation is that it doesn't like native 88.2 and it is capped at 96kHz maximum resolution. But with the money we saved we could drastically improve the over all sound performance of the DAC. So it has been considered back and forth A LOT internally. But whenever we measure and listen to it the way it is we are very confident that this was the best choice. Of course if you do have very much super high resolution material the decision might be different for you. But we think most people will mainly listen to 16/44.1 and just a little up to 24/96kHz or beyond.

I recently bought one and have ran it in for 50+ hours and it sounds terrible. The bass is round, I'll defined and of the one note variety (And not deep) vocalists / central images sound distant and a good bit back behind the speakers and lacking in detail (Instruments and vocals have soft edges) Flattened dynamics and a sound that doesn't hold your attention or excite. This is waaay below my expectations of a Hegel amplifier and frankly, my Rega Brio packs in more fun, verve and excitement than the soft boring Hegel. My dealer says give it 300-400 hours and Hegel say 100 hours run in to sound their best. I don't believe it and think it's just to get your ears used to the sound. What say you as regards to run in as this amp is going to be handed back in return for an Exposure.

@@HegelMusicSystem Hi. No its my first time with a Hegel. Its replacing a little 2020 Rega Brio (Which sounded a lot better) Im currenty using it with my Rega Planar 8, Moon 260D transport and Dali Oberon 5s in my second system. I tried my PMC Twenty-five 23is with the Hegel and it sounds much the same. It sounds like a phase shift problem. I'm quite surprised at the praise it gets as I don't get pleasure from it.

@@fuckinellitsraymo Very odd. Obviously taste is involved. Some people like this and others like that. But rarely do I here that Hegel has a round bass. We have had the Oberon in the office for months and it is quite dynamic and tight. Might I suggest playing a little with placement of the speakers? Hegel bass is very different than Rega bass. So optimal set up may be different.

@@HegelMusicSystem It's not the bass I'm worried about, it's the flatness of the sound with little or no dynamics. The singers, instuments etc all sound at the same level, bland and uninteresting is how I'd put it. I don't agree with your suggestion of putting them nearer the rear wall as they are at the makers recommended distance and they are rear ported and well known for their big bass output so I'm not going to encourage it to get boomy. Hand on heart some people see Hegel as the amplifiers in vogue with certain listeners but I find it no better than a Audiolab 6000A or a Naim Nait etc. I'm sorry to say I'm utterly dissapointed with it so will be returning it. Thanks for your replies anyway, they were what I expected.
