Hegel has announced two integrated amplifiers built on the same Class AB output stage. The H200 and A200 are rated at 150W per channel into eight ohms, remain stable into two-ohm loads, claim a damping factor above 4,000, and use the company's SoundEngine2 error-correction circuit.
H200 includes a DAC, network platform, MM phono stage, and headphone output. Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon are joined by optical, coaxial, USB, network, XLR, and RCA connections.
A200 removes all digital circuitry for owners using an external DAC or streamer. It retains two XLR and two RCA inputs, MM phono, headphone output, and fixed and variable line outputs. H200 shipping is planned for late August, with A200 following in October.
