Wondering whether to upgrade my Hegel integrated
I am upgrading my system and wondering about the next step. I just replaced my Linn Majik 140 speakers with Gershman Grand Studio speakers and wondering why I waited so long. So now I am wondering about the amp. I have the Hegel H160 and am wondering about upgrading to the H390. As I understand it, the benefits are several: more power (150w > 250w); better DAC (which I use for streaming), Sound Engine 2 noise reduction technology, much higher damping factor, etc.
I have been happy with the H160, but like many of us, I am always looking for the next step forward in sound quality.
For those of you who have made the switch, I am curious as to whether you think it was a worthwhile investment. Thanks.
