just a sidenote on soix’s comment re the hegel h360
the newer 190 390 590 series specifically improves the dac section of these 160/360 prior gen units
the amp sections are virtually the same, if not, highly similar
this does raise the question of the wisdom of buying an expensive unit where one part (the DAC) might become outdated before other parts (linestage and amplifier) -- such is the challenge of figuring out how to spend money wisely in high end equipment... no clear answer
