OLD VERSUS NEWER: ARC DSi 200 integrated amp versus Hegel H200 integrated
The ARC DSi 200 integrated was issued in 2009, and the Hegel H200 integrated.in 2010. Need advice from current or past owners as to which one of these will produce the best sound quality with a different range of speakers. Both are 200RMS and have received good reviews. Neither are current. I am concerned about the ARC unit because it used a "company modified" version of a class D amp.
Class D's amps may be getting better, but in 2009-2010, class D amps or hybrid amps were still (from my reading) considered mediocre or just average. I believe the Hegel H-200 amp stage is a different design.
Thank you,
S.J.
