Alan Sircom has posted a review of the Hegel H160 integrated amplifier (£2350) at Hi-Fi+. His conclusions:
“If our little audio world wasn’t quite so set in its ways, the Hegel H160 should be a Shot Heard Round the World, like the Devialet. If there were any justice, this £2,350 integrated amplifier shouldn’t just be driving £3,000 loudspeakers; it could be powering £30,000 loudspeakers and replacing big fat power amps with something just as good, for a fraction of the price, the size, and the electricity bill of what went before. A great amplifier with an excellent headphone amplifier and an extremely fine DAC all rolled into one awesome giant-killing package – where did it all go so wrong!”
