Hegel H590 integrated amp


What can I say?  This, especially for the money, and it's far from being cheap, is the best integrated amp on the market!!!  Immense power that can drive any inefficient speaker, including my notoriously hard to drive Revel Salon 2 speakers with authority, sublime sound quality, features to die for, superb DAC, built like a tank and is as reliable as heck.  The Hegel H590 is one of the very few, and I mean, very few, end-game integrated amps on the planet today.  And, the beauty of the Hegel H590 is that, it's so darned "OUTSTANDING" that you don't have to spend more or want for more.  The Hegel H590 is, without a doubt, the best value for the money when it comes to the current, ultra high-end integrated amps on the market.

great choice of gear!  the h590 is an absolutely world class amplifier, takes back seat to none, and the dac is quite good, but can be exceeded by top tier outboard dacs, so imo you are using the h590 exactly as it should be used in a very high level system

and yes, to the other question, the h390 and 590 are not yet roon ready, but coming soon, is the word...

party at @kennymacc ’s house!

bring your favorite music!

music and our stuff that makes it in our homes should make us happy not angry...

expressing positivity is good here, or anywhere, provided we don't overstate or mislead... then again, we are all adults here, we should be able to decide what is meant to inform vs what is meant to just share in fun...

i also love hegels but i gotta say, your post, while a nice expression of enthusiasm, makes me want to ask what other competing integrated amps have you tried?

i think the h590 is a wonderful end game amp at a quite reasonable price, but there are probably 15 other makers of legit end game integrateds out there...
