Description
Hegel H190 amplifier streamer DAC and DH Labs cable Power - 230V The best amplifier from Hegel in terms of sound/functionality price ratio - the golden mean. Amplifier, DAC, streamer. Power and damping factor allow you to play with any acoustics, I liked the combinations with B&W Dynaudi? KEF ELAC the most. All the information and millions of reviews are easy to find on the Internet, as well as reviews, including from comrade Borzenkov. Bought new in October 2022 (there are documents of purchase), I was the only one who used it. DH Labs Power Plus 2 meter cable is also included. The white color, in my opinion, looks much more interesting than the black version. The ??gel ?190 integrated amplifier occupies a niche between the ?390 and the more budget model ??gel ?120 in the brands line of complete amplifiers. The main difference between the ?190 and its predecessor ?160 was the clear OLED display, which replaced the vacuum fluorescent indicator and the increased damping coefficient. Well, plus to this, the amplifier is now available not only in conservative black, but also in extravagant white. The design uses the legendary Sound Engine 2 technology, developed by ??gel founder Bent Holter for Telenor 20 years ago, which allows you to adjust the signal received by the amplifier in real time. At the same time, instead of traditional feedback, direct communication is used in the circuits. All this helps to minimize various types of distortion, make the sound cleaner and smoother, increase the damping factor and enhance the bass dynamics. ??gel H190 is perhaps one of the most versatile devices today. The model has a built-in DAC, USB port, high-quality headphone amplifier on the JRC4556AD chip and can be used as a power amplifier in a home theater. The AirPlay function is supported, but the Wi-Fi module is not provided in this integrated amplifier, so to implement it, the H190 must be connected to a local network via a LAN interface (DLNA and UPnP protocols are supported). For AirPlay to function, iOS-based devices must be connected to the same network. Thanks to the built-in DLNA streaming module, it is possible to play files from NAS servers and computers in a resolution of up to 24 bits / 192 kHz. The power supply unit has a toroidal transformer and 6 high-capacity capacitors. The power of the H190 reaches 150 W (8 Ohm) per channel, and the damping factor exceeds 4000 units. This means that the amplifier will subdue even the most capricious acoustic systems. The output stage of the Hegel H190 has fast transistors of Japanese manufacture. The device is made in a strict Hegel design. On the slightly convex front aluminum panel there is a display showing the selected input, power indicator and other symbols. On the right there is a volume control and a 6.3 mm headphone jack, and on the left - an input selector. The power button is located on the bottom of the case. There is a remote control, which can also control the playback of tracks of software media players when connected to a computer via USB. Inputs: linear RCA, balanced XLR, RCA for direct access to the final stage (relevant for home theaters), three optical, coaxial, USB and LAN ports. Outputs: linear fixed and adjustable (both on RCA connectors). There are two pairs of screw terminals for connecting to the speaker system. The ??gel ?190 amplifier has a clean, open sound with excellent resolution and dense, dynamic bass. The model also allows you to significantly improve the sound of sources such as smartphones, tablets, etc. ??gel ?190 has received the Ron Ready certificate. To start using the service from Ron Labs, owners of ??gel devices simply need to update the firmware. ??gel H190 Specifications Output power 2 x 150 W (8 Ohm), 2 x 250 W (4 Ohm)Headphone amplifier output power 2 x 270 mW (64 Ohm)Frequency range 5 Hz – 100 kHzSignal-to-noise ratio over 100 dBCross-talk less than – 100 dBHarmonic distortion coefficient 0.005% (50 W, 8 Ohm, 1 kHz)Intermodulation distortion coefficient less than 0.01% (19 kHz + 20 kHz)Damping factor over 4000AirPlay support yes (with wired connection via local network)DLNA and UPnP protocol support yesRoon ReadyDAC AKM4396 (24 bit/192 kHz)Inputs linear RCA, balanced XLR, fixed Home Theatre Max Level Input (RCA) for direct access to the final stage, 3 optical (24 bit/192 kHz), coaxial (24 bit/192 kHz), USB port (24 bit/96 kHz), LAN (Network)Outputs 6.3 mm for headphones, linear fixed (RCA) and adjustable (RCA)Output to the speaker 2 pairs of screw terminalsPower supply toroidal transformer, 6 capacitors N?ver of 10,000 ?FRemote control ??gel RC 8, universalDimensions (WxHxD) 430x120x410 mmWeight 19 kg (with packaging)
