160Hegel and DNLA . . .

In January I bought a Hegel H360 integrated amp. I was drawn to it because of its specs--especially the DLNA connectivity. Over the last (almost) year, I have enjoyed the quality of the sound and the elegance of the design, but the amp has regularly disconnected from the network. In recent weeks, it has gotten worse. I've reached out to Hegel and they are complexed, as am I.

Can any of you H160 or H360 users experienced this problem, too? Or have any other DLNA network folks seen anything like this, too? Thanks in advance.

I have the H160 and it does tend to disappear as a target on the iphone 5s but it seems always show as available on the Macbook pros in my home. The only real issue I have with my Hegel is the volume. It uses the volume limit of the Airplay device, which often times is set way to high for the H160 and my bookshelf speakers.Short of adding a separate streaming device and giving up the Hegel internal DAC, I see no way to resolve that. But ultimately I fear I am going to have to go there before someone damages a driver on my SF Concertos. I'f you could just set a switch on the Hegel to never exceed ... like 68, it would not be an issue. The good and bad of integrated ....
