ESS Sabre DAC:
The Hegel H600 digital-to-analog converter has an ideal design that ensures clean sound quality without any re-sampling or upsampling. The DAC is equipped with a large linear power source that provides clean and stable operation and is shielded by a thick steel plate to eliminate interference from other electronics inside the amplifier. The result is a state-of-the-art digital-to-analog converter with incredible resolution and smooth operation.
Design:
The chassis is made of aluminum to enhance sound quality. It includes a sturdy bottom chassis and a top cover with ventilation holes, milled in two layers for additional rigidity and airflow. Large aluminum feet with scratch protection provide excellent stability and reduce vibration, while high-quality RCA connectors and optimized placement of analog and digital connectors reduce noise levels and improve channel separation. Large control knobs feature touch controls, making it easy and intuitive to operate this amplifier. They also offer very pleasant tactile sensations, making every adjustment enjoyable.
The H600 is equipped with a full range of streaming options. It supports streaming over a local network via UPnP, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Tidal Connect, and Roon Ready. However, this is just the beginning. This advanced streaming mechanism ensures that the amplifier is always up to date with the latest streaming capabilities for your music. The H600 is also easily configurable to suit any operating conditions. All digital inputs, except for USB, have signal recognition functionality. This means that any device connected to these inputs can activate the amplifier and set it to the desired input.
Additionally, the volume can be limited to match your maximum volume preferences. With the remote control function, you can program the amplifier to be controlled using standard TV remotes, eliminating the need for using two remotes and making it easier for all family members to enjoy great TV sound. Most inputs can also be configured as fixed inputs for a high-end home theater setup, allowing for easy integration with surround receivers or multi-room devices.
The amplifier boasts a wide range of analog and digital connections to choose from different sound sources. There are two pairs of balanced XLR inputs and two pairs of RCA inputs. As for the digital interface, it features an LAN port, a USB input supporting PCM 32/384, DSD256/DoP, three optical inputs, a coaxial input, and a true 75-ohm BNC input. For analog outputs, it offers a pair of fixed level RCA outputs and a pair of variable level RCA outputs. Additionally, a coaxial BNC 75-ohm digital output is available. The H600 is an extremely powerful amplifier with magnificent sound. It is versatile and provides high-quality sound and ease of use, all in a high-quality and minimalist chassis that suits any interior style. The H600 is the center of your digital music, a home for all connected sources, with sound suitable for mansions. The H600 is a powerful engine.
