The H600 stands as Hegel's flagship integrated amplifier, a true powerhouse that delivers an impressive 303 watts at 8 ohms, a remarkable damping factor of 4000, and the ability to drive 2-ohm speakers with confidence and finesse. This amplifier's dual mono design mirrors the performance of two mono amps within a single unit, while its preeminent preamplifier features an exceptionally precise volume attenuator akin to that found in our esteemed P30A reference amplifier. Our unwavering commitment to quality is evident throughout the design process, as we meticulously craft all electronic circuitry in-house, utilizing only premium-grade components. This level of control ensures an unparalleled amplification journey. Moreover, our proprietary SoundEngine2 correction technology synergizes with this meticulous approach, yielding an audio signal that remains faithful to the original recording. The outcome is an expansive soundstage, profound dynamic range, and superior bass control, allowing the amplifier to uncover intricate nuances and details in the music. For the ultimate sonic experience, a pair of high-quality speakers of your choosing is all that's required.
 
Notably, the H600's D/A Converter is engineered with a bit-perfect design, upholding pure audio fidelity devoid of resampling or upsampling. This DAC is bolstered by a robust, dedicated power supply to ensure unblemished and stable performance, shielded by a substantial steel plate that negates interference from internal electronics. The result is an advanced D/A converter that exudes remarkable resolution and smoothness. The amplifier's chassis, constructed from aluminum, further optimizes audio performance, featuring a solid bottom chassis and a top cover with dual-layered vents for enhanced rigidity and airflow. Employing sizeable aluminum feet with anti-scratch properties ensures impeccable stability and minimized vibrations. The amplifier's analog and digital connectors are meticulously positioned to diminish noise and enhance channel separation, while the inclusion of touch control-equipped, tactile-feel control knobs imparts effortless operation and a delightful user experience.
 
Hegel prioritizes the harmonious integration of superior audio with user-friendly functionality. This ethos is echoed in the H600's comprehensive suite of streaming options, including UPnP streaming, pending Spotify Connect, Airplay 2, Tidal Connect, and pending Roon Ready support. An advanced streaming engine ensures the amplifier is perpetually updated with the latest streaming choices, guaranteeing a seamless music experience. Versatility is further exemplified by the amplifier's customizability, as most digital inputs (excluding USB) feature signal sense functionality, enabling connected devices to awaken and adjust the amplifier to the correct input automatically. Furthermore, volume limitations can be tailored to personal preferences. A remote control compatibility feature facilitates command by common TV remotes, eliminating the need for multiple remotes and enhancing accessibility. The amplifier's inputs can also be configured as fixed high-level Home Theater inputs, simplifying integration with surround receivers or multi-room systems. Hegel's commitment to continuous improvement is reflected in free firmware updates, which the amplifier installs automatically, ensuring that your H600 remains current.
 
The amplifier presents an extensive array of analog and digital connections to accommodate diverse audio sources. With two pairs of True Balanced XLR inputs and two pairs of RCA inputs, the amplifier provides flexibility. On the digital front, it encompasses a LAN network port, USB 32/384 input (supporting DSD256/DoP), three optical inputs, a coaxial input, and a BNC true 75-ohm input. Analog outputs include a pair of RCA fixed-level outputs and a pair of RCA variable-level outputs, along with a BNC fixed-level true 75-ohm digital output. Elegantly versatile and sonically exceptional, the H600 integrated amplifier seamlessly blends high-end performance and user-friendly design in a refined, minimalist enclosure adaptable to any interior aesthetic. The H600 serves as a hub for digital music, a conduit for your connected sources, and a sonic centerpiece that resonates even within expansive spaces. In essence, the H600 is a true powerhouse, embodying Hegel's commitment to exceptional audio experiences.
