The Hegel H600 is an integrated streaming amplifier that combines a dual-mono power amplifier, a preamplifier, a digital-to-analog converter and network streaming in one chassis. It delivers 303 watts per channel into 8 ohms and drives loudspeaker loads as low as 2 ohms. Its damping factor is greater than 4,000.
Each channel has its own amplification architecture, which limits interference between channels. The preamplifier section uses the volume attenuation technology developed for Hegel's P30A preamplifier. Hegel's SoundEngine2 technology monitors and corrects distortion produced in the amplification process without altering the original recording.
The bit-perfect DAC does not resample or upsample the incoming digital signal. A dedicated power supply for the DAC and preamplifier circuits isolates them from the high-power output stages. Built-in streaming supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, UPnP, internet radio and podcasts. The black chassis has a clean front panel with an OLED display.
