Hegel comparison


I have the opportunity to buy either a Hegel 390 or 590.  Pricing to be negotiated, and there are no dealerships anywhere in my region that would allow me to hear either one before making a decision.

Does anybody have an opinion, based on live auditioning, re: the relative sonic profiles of these two products?

Thanks for any opinions based on first-hand experience.

Besides the DAC differences, I’m curious to find out the “Sonic” difference in the amplifiers between the h390/h590 vs h600.  I know that the 390/590 is an ideal match for Harbeth, wondering about the h600 and Harbeth.

Maybe consider the H600 someday as it appears to have a much better DAC than the 390/590 as per this reviewer Hifinews here and seemingly by this reviewer theEar here.
