Experience the Powerhouse Performance of Hegel H600 Flagship Integrated Amplifier
Discover Hegel’s latest masterpiece, the H600 flagship integrated amplifier, a true powerhouse that redefines the capabilities of a super-integrated amplifier. Designed to cater to the desires of even the most discerning audiophiles, the H600 boasts cutting-edge features that push the boundaries of audio excellence.
Distinguishing Features of the H600
Setting it apart from its predecessor, the H590, the H600 introduces transformative enhancements that showcase Hegel’s commitment to audio innovation:
 
Innovative Bit-Perfect DAC: The H600 features a novel DAC design that ensures bit-perfect performance, avoiding upsampling. This DAC has its dedicated power source and is isolated from internal components by a substantial steel plate, minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI) for pristine audio quality.
 
Enhanced Streaming Capabilities: Updated streaming features include support for UPnP, Spotify Connect, Roon, and the latest addition, Tidal Connect, offering seamless access to your favorite music streaming services.
 
Advanced Pre-Amplifier Section: The H600 incorporates the volume attenuator from Hegel’s P30A pre-amplifier and reintroduces the SoundEngine 2 feed-forward correction mechanism. These improvements target the reduction of distortion throughout the signal path, especially in the output stage’s crossover distortion.
Extensive Connectivity Options: The H600 maintains a comprehensive array of digital connectivity options, including optical inputs, BNC, coaxial, USB, and a BNC digital output. On the analog front, improvements have been made to the balanced XLR inputs, complemented by RCA inputs, variable analog outputs for subwoofers, and a line-level output.
 
Thoughtful Design Elements: The H600 features “anti-scratch” aluminum feet for stability and vibration reduction. The large control knobs double as touch controllers, providing intuitive operation. 6. Enhanced Power Output: Outshining its predecessor, the H600 delivers 303W per channel, surpassing the H590‘s 301W per channel.
 
Dual Mono Design and P30A Volume Attenuator
The H600 embraces a dual mono design philosophy, achieving performance comparable to having two mono amplifiers within a single enclosure. The preamplifier section incorporates the highly precise volume attenuator from Hegel’s reference P30A amplifier, elevating performance standards even further. With meticulous attention to electronic circuitry and top-tier components, Hegel maintains unparalleled control over the amplification process, seamlessly integrating with the proprietary SoundEngine2 correction technology. The result is an audio signal that faithfully reproduces the original recording, delivering an expansive soundstage, remarkable dynamic range, and authoritative bass control.
 
Newly Overhauled Chassis Design
Crafted from aluminum, the H600’s chassis enhances audio performance with a solid bottom and a top cover featuring dual-layer milled vents for improved rigidity and airflow. The big aluminum feet with an anti-scratch design ensure stability and minimize vibrations. High-quality RCA connectors and optimized positioning of analog and digital connectors reduce noise and enhance channel separation. The large control knobs equipped with touch control make operating the amplifier effortless and intuitive.
 
Streaming Excellence and Future-Proof Adaptability
Hegel prioritizes exceptional audio and seamless usability. The H600 exemplifies this with its comprehensive range of streaming options, including UPnP streaming, Spotify Connect, Airplay 2, Tidal Connect, and upcoming Roon Ready integration. The amplifier’s sophisticated streaming engine ensures compatibility with the latest streaming possibilities, guaranteeing enduring relevance.
 
With complimentary firmware updates and automatic installation, Hegel ensures that the H600 remains up-to-date, adapting seamlessly to advancing technologies and features. Experience the future of audio with Hegel’s commitment to future-proofing, allowing your H600 to evolve alongside the ever-changing landscape of audio technology.
