Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help

What do you think of Hegel's DAC? I've read that it's not as good as Krell's.

After languishing for years after Dan D'A's departure, this happened.

Then this:

Of course, proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Also very interested in this match up esp the DAC. H390 gets glowing reviews virtually everywhere. Krell K-300i also strong but fewer articles and nothing head to head.

Anything else you can share Troy would be immensely helpful!

i cannot speak to a head on comparison (i personally have no interest whatsoever in spending thousands on a new krell given my past experiences, to find out), but i would say the internal dac in the hegel h390 is very good... on par with many 1500-2000 dacs on the market i have tried... it also has true mqa capability, if one values that

no affiliation w hegel, just a very happy and appreciative customer

Between those 2, I would pick the Hegel. At this price range perhaps look at Accuphase and Luxman integrateds too. They make Class AB and Class A integrateds.
