Hegel Design Flaw?
Jon2020,I live in a remote part of Asia. It was shipped to me here and I had no alternative but to ship it back and take what they would give me for it. They would not give the 30-day guarantee that is usually standard with Hegel dealers.P59teitel... 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Bill_k,I own the DS DAC. I have heard the Berkeley Reference DAC and the Bricasti M1 DAC in 2 different systems. I have not had the opportunity to do A/B testing with them in my own system. So, my observations have to be taken advisedly. Neverthel...

P59teitel,I have just recently sold the H20 back to the dealer -- at a large loss. Donjr,Thank you for your sympathetic post. Your observation about the designer may explain a lot regarding how I was treated by two of Hegel's employees. 
Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
Fsmithjack,It's a shame you did not wait for Yale. It was well worth the wait. In my estimation it may allow the DS DAC to rival the M1 and the Berkeley Reference.

Knghifi,I did not run the H20 in series.Wolf_garcia,I agree. I am astonished that Hegel did not make any attempt at all to help out. It perplexes me why they would simply walk away from their own product. Ghosthouse,I agree that "it's in Hegel's b...

Denon1,Thanks for posting your story about Hegel. I find it interesting that this happened to you -- and that Hegel had an excuse not to back their product, as in my own case. You have confirmed something important here regarding Hegel, IMO.Their ...

Mribob,Whenever products work as expected then talking about not standing behind the product or not giving good customer service is a moot point. But when things go wrong that's when you may find out things you would rather not have found out.You ...

Onhwy61,With all due respect, I don't feel my question is loaded. It is simply a query. I have a follow-up question. Has anyone had any experience dealing with Hegel customer service?

Nglazer,Yale beta does not shine a light to Yale.
