Hegel H590 Integrated Amplifier

Description:

Fantastic integrated amplifier with analog and digital inputs as well as streaming function. The H590 is truly a reference amplifier. From the carefully designed balanced and unbalanced inputs with hand-tuned transistor pairs that ensure minimal distortion of the sensitive signal from an analog source like a phono stage.

About the preamplifier with its dedicated high-quality power supplies and a unique volume attenuator all the way to the massive output stage, where you’ll find 12 ultra-fast high-performance output transistors... per channel. The H590 is a beast. Since many people nowadays use digital music as their main listening source, great care has been taken with the DAC, where all signals remain in their original form. Whether high-resolution or CD format, they will all be played in their native form toensure the best sound quality.
