The digital-to-analog conversion system in the H120 is of the highest quality, ensuring full control of the data stream without distortion. This results in a completely natural sound — free from artifacts that make you want to lower the volume. The H120 model supports data streaming using Apple Airplay, Spotify Connect, IP Control, Control4, and UPnP. Other features are on the way and will be provided for free with software updates.
The impressive power supply provides a more dynamic sound and is designed for connecting large speakers that create a high load for the amplifier. The digital section, which is the heart of the H120, is borrowed from higher-end models. This amplifier is primarily intended for listeners who actively use music streaming features, and the H120 excels at this better than any other device for its price.
The H120 features the proprietary Hegel SoundEngine 2 technology, which ensures extremely low levels of distortion and a damping factor of over 2000. In many ways, this system functions like noise-canceling headphones. The amplifier's output signal is compared to the input signal, detecting all audio impurities (distortions) and transmitting the signal to the speaker outputs, but in antiphase — like "1 - 1 = 0." This process neutralizes any distortions, leaving only clean, natural sound. The development of the SoundEngine technology took over 30 years from conception to full implementation, with millions of dollars invested into it. It is this technology that provides the sound you're paying for with the H120 amplifier.
The Hegel H120 integrated amplifier is Roon Ready certified. Roon is a control platform for all the music in your home, structuring both local and networked files as well as streaming services into a unified music library. This approach provides convenience and high-quality sound. One of the main benefits of Roon is the integration and unification of all music sources, eliminating the need to think about where content is or how to play it. Simply press the corresponding icon in the app. The system supports local and networked storage, NAS, iTunes, internet radio, and streaming.
