Best Amplifiers $5K to $10k Series: Hegel H400 Streaming Integrated Amplifier

DESCRIPTION In the final quarter of 2024, Hegel debuted their new H4 100 integrated amplifier build to replace the very popular H3 90, of which I am a long time owner. That AMP has traditionally been one of the biggest sellers for the Norwegian company, and its popularity gives the H 400 a lot to live up to. 00:00 Hegel H400 00:45 Overview 02:10 Specs & Design 07:58 Sound Quality 13:49 DAC & Streamer 19:25 Preamp 20:56 Is it for you? 23:28 Summary The Absolute Sound’s Review Methodology: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/the-absolute-sounds-review-methodology-first-principles/ Newsletter: https://www.theabsolutesound.com/newsletter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theabsolutesound Substack: https://www.theabsolutesound.substack.com What Is The Absolute Sound?
