Just move the SPDIF between external and onboard to compare the sound.
Hegel H90 external DAC setup
Hi All, I’ve got a Hegel H90 and have been trying to experiment with upgrading to an external DAC.
I purchased a Musical Fidelity MX-DAC, but not entirely sure how to use this as the main converter and bypass the H90s internal D/A conversion. I mainly use the Hegel AirPlay network functionality to stream Qobuz, don’t want to use a laptop to stream.
I noticed that higher level Hegels have a DAC loop function where the internal converter can be disabled to allow for an external converter. My model doesn’t have this, so hoping there might be a workaround.
