The Hegel H400 is a Norwegian integrated amplifier rated at 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms in a dual-mono layout, stable down to 2-ohm loads with a damping factor above 4,000. It carries the streaming engine and bit-perfect DAC design of Hegel's reference H600, plus SoundEngine2 feed-forward distortion correction. It suits listeners who want one box for streaming, digital sources and demanding speakers without stepping up to the H600. Against similarly powered streaming integrateds, its grip on low-impedance speakers and its H600-derived platform are the main draws.

Reception centers on the H400's power and control, with the H600-derived streaming and DAC section seen as the reason to choose it over cheaper integrateds. The EISA award is widely cited as confirmation of its standing among premium streaming amplifiers.
The Hegel H400, nicknamed the Streamliner, is an integrated amplifier from Hegel Music Systems of Oslo, Norway. It delivers 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms in a dual-mono configuration. It has a damping factor above 4,000 and is stable down to 2-ohm loads, so it can drive planar, electrostatic and other speakers with demanding impedance curves. It won the EISA Premium Streaming Amplifier 2024-2025 award.
The H400 shares its dual-mono amplifier construction, streaming engine and bit-perfect DAC design with Hegel's reference H600. SoundEngine2 feed-forward distortion correction reduces distortion during amplification in real time. The symmetrical layout and the absence of any equalization preserve signal integrity. Compared with the H600, it has one balanced XLR input instead of two.
The H400 streams through Spotify Connect (Lossless), Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, UPnP, airable Internet Radio and Podcast, and JPLAY. Multi-room playback is supported through Roon, AirPlay and Google Cast. Automatic signal detection switches to the correct input when a connected device starts playing. The Hegel Control App handles volume and input control, and gives access to internet radio, podcasts and media server playback. Firmware updates are free and install automatically.
