How much power does the H390 deliver?

It is rated at 250W per channel into 8 ohms, with a dual-mono layout and a damping factor above 4000 for tight control of difficult speakers.

Does it have a built-in DAC and streamer?

Yes. It has a bit-perfect DAC with MQA support and network streaming with Roon Ready, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and UPnP, so a separate converter or streamer is not needed.

What speakers pair well with it?

Its high damping factor and power suit demanding floorstanders and low-impedance loads. Its neutral balance pairs best with speakers that are not overly bright.

What connections does it offer?

It has nine inputs, including analog RCA and digital inputs, with stereo RCA outputs. Analog inputs are unbalanced only; there are no XLR inputs.

What comes in the box?

The amplifier, a remote control, a manual, a power cable and factory packaging.

Is it worth it over a cheaper integrated?

The case rests on the combination of high power, a strong DAC and streaming in one chassis. If you already own a good separate DAC and streamer, the advantage narrows.
