lumholtzii Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Hegel H160 Integrated Amplifier Location: NE Melbourne 'burbs Price: $2500 includes SNA donation Item Condition: very clean, no scratches or marks, excellent condition Reason for selling: I've shifted over a valve pre & power amps ..... Need funds for my next DAC ! Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal + fees, COD Only Extra Info: I have had this amp for about 7 months or so, and it’s beauty. It is really versatile with a very simple to set up. It has plenty of digital inputs and a pretty nice in built DAC. It has a balanced and two SE analogue inputs including HT bypass. Ethernet & USB input as well. It’s easy-as for streaming via Airplay which was really convenient. Joint winner of HiFi+ product of the year in 2016, and Sound-Image award in the same year. It sounds very clean / clear & precise without sounding dry or harsh. It has more than reasonable level of grunt, rated ~ 150w / channel into 8ohms, 250w into 4 ohms. To say the remote is robust is an understatement. Lifting the lid, and having a look inside shows a nice layout & some quality components. I've used this to drive a variety of speakers without an issue, including Kef LS50s, Rogers, Sonus Faber, and most recently Focal Aria 936 I have the original box, so shipping is not issue, if required at purchasers cost. Original retail was around $6,200, and it is currently on sale new for $4,400 at A2A.

Chris Daley Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Can you bypass the in built dac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumholtzii Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Sure. It has 2 x single ended inputs + 1 X balanced XLR which sounds particularly good. Both of these analogue inputs bypass the DAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
