Hi, could anyone offer any insights to this? Can it be described? What does one expect to get with Hegel? Thanks

insider9 said:Assuming rather neutral speakers with a Densen amp would you say Hegel DAC would be appropriate, David?
No warmth in that system coming from any component. Would it be any good or likely lean, clean and not engaging?
That's what I've been hoping to hear. Don't tell my wifeAndrewjvt said:insider9 said:Assuming rather neutral speakers with a Densen amp would you say Hegel DAC would be appropriate, David?

Very engaging just not a flavour added
But it will sound realistic or organic

Which Hegel model are you interested in?
I haven’t yet heard the stand alone DAC as I’m starting with their amplification (which obviously have integral DACs), but as with most amplifiers, you’re probably hearing more character coming from the amp rather than from the DAC. After listening to the Rost for the past 2-3 days, it now seems to be settling in and opening up quite a bit, which I particularly noticed yesterday afternoon. I can’t think of anything that would really be any more neutral than this - many say the ATC integrated amplifier is neutral, but from my experience, it has a character to it (which suits their speakers).insider9 said:Assuming rather neutral speakers with a Densen amp would you say Hegel DAC would be appropriate, David?

Hd12?insider9 said:10 times better but 4 times the cast. I'd get a Chord Hugo TT if I had that kind of money.
I'm looking at Chord Hugo (used) / 2Qute (new) alternatives.
Thanks Rick. I set my heart on 2Qute. Hugo second hand is also interesting.MUSICRAFT said:Hi insider9
If you happy to also consider used or discontinued then Arcam’s IRDAC MK1 is also worth bearing in mind.
All the best

She'd kill me if she knew I'm considering.
Thanks Andrew. Spoken to Rick on Friday but wanted to ask everyone else.Andrewjvt said:insider9 said:Under £1,000

Take a look on musicrafts special offers webpage
Don't know if he's playing games but he's basically giving away the last of his Hegel stock.
I'm sure you could (if the offers are genuine get the hd30 at a good price)

That HD12 you've got that we spoke about on Friday is very interesting. Do you really think it wouldn't do well in my setup?
No worries and no rush. Thanks Rick.MUSICRAFT said:insider9 said:Thanks Rick. I set my heart on 2Qute. Hugo second hand is also interesting.MUSICRAFT said:Hi insider9
