Hegel H400 integrated amplifier,

Despite the Hegel H400 integrated amplifier being a streamer's dream - AirPlay, TIDAL, Spotify, Googlecast, Roon, internet radio, podcasts, as well as network streaming - its biggest strength is that of a high-end integrated amplifier.

The Hegel H400 is not only an extremely capable, high-end hi-fi amplifier, it is also network connected, allowing a number of additional features. AirPlay2 allows wireless streaming from Apple phones and tablets, and TIDAL Connect and Spotify Connect streaming grants access to a vast amount of music, old and new. Third-party apps mConnect gives access to QOBUZ streaming, as well as taking care of network streaming, giving you access to any music stored on computers, NAS drives, or music servers.

​

The H400 DAC is able to decode PCM and DSD, as well as MQA from any MQA source via any of its digital inputs, giving hi-res playback from MQA downloads.

​

Alongside a source such as an Innuos media server, the Hegel H400 can act as a complete Roon system, bringing your network stored and subscribed streaming services together in one single control app, along with a wealth of artist and gig information.

​

Control4 and IP control permits the H400 to be controlled via your network.

Control4 compatible,

The Hegel H400 not only provides two analogue RCA inputs for analogue sources, but also a both variable analogue RCA outputs to connect a power amplifier, and fixed analogue RCA outputs for recording or monitoring purposes. A pair of balanced XLR inputs cater for higher quality, suitably equipped sources.

The analogue inputs can be configured as a home theatre bypass input for integration into home theatre systems.

The digital section provides a USB, three optical, one coaxial, and one BNC inputs for connecting external digital sources such as a CD player, or media streamers from the likes of Roku or Apple TV, Sky boxes or Bluray players. A BNC digital output can be connected to an external DAC.

​

These digital inputs decode up to DSD64, with the BNC digital input decoding up to DSD256.

DualAmp technology separates out the current gain stage and voltage gain stages that are usually combined in amplifiers, allowing specific circuitry to do a better job, reducing distortion and preserving dynamic range.

​

DualPower technology supplies the output stage with a different power feed to that of the input and voltage gain stages. Like DualAmp, this gives lower distortion whilst maintaining high dynamic range.

​

SoundEngine 2 technology preserves the original between stages, where distortion or errors tend to creep in, giving the advantages of Class A and Class AB amplifiers without the negatives, reducing high frequency distortion.

​

SynchroDAC technology uses true balanced signal processing to preserve dynamic range and lower distortion, lowering jitter and conversion errors, allowing the most faithful digital to analogue conversion possible.

​

All of the above technology has been developed by Hegel Music Systems to allow their products to stand out from a crowded market place, and win numerous awards worldwide.
