Our take on the Hegel H120

The Hegel H120 is a Class AB streaming integrated amplifier rated at 75 W into 8 Ω and stable down to 2 Ω loads. It combines a built-in DAC, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and UPnP streaming with a patented SoundEngine 2 distortion-cancelling circuit and a damping factor above 2,000. Owners describe a refined, neutral sound with a smooth midrange and airy treble, and the high damping factor gives tight, textured bass. It suits listeners who want one box for streaming and analog sources, though its streamer needs a third-party app for high-resolution files and AirPlay tops out at CD quality.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers describe a refined, neutral amplifier that avoids a clinical edge, with smooth mids and airy treble. The high damping factor is repeatedly credited with deep, textured bass and strong woofer control. Complaints center on streaming: high-resolution playback depends on a third-party app and AirPlay is capped at CD quality.
