Together with the A200, it represents one of two listening paths: one connected, one fully analogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is The Connected: an integrated amplifier with streaming, DAC, MM phono input, headphone output, USB drive playback, and 150 watts of output power per channel. It brings flexibility and high-end performance together in one powerful, elegant component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the H200 is not built around features for their own sake. Every part of it is made to work together, with the amplifier at the centre and the music as the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt on control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the H200 is the powerful 150W analogue Class A\/B amplifier section. How-ever, the power rating only tells part of the story. What matters just as much is how the amplifier behaves when driving real loudspeakers with real music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 uses Hegel’s SoundEngine2 technology to reduce distortion in real time. Instead of correcting errors after they have already passed through the amplifier, SoundEngine2 detects distortion where it occurs and cancels it before it can travel further through the signal path. Combined with stability down to 2-ohm loads, the result is an amplifier that remains clean, composed, and controlled, even when the music becomes complex or the loudspeaker load becomes demanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA damping factor of more than 4000 gives the H200 firm control over the loudspeaker drivers. Bass notes start and stop with precision. Rhythms become easier to follow. The entire presentation gains clarity because low-frequency energy is kept in order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not control for its own sake. It is control in service of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnalogue at heart\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the H200 is built for streaming and digital playback, its foundation is still a serious analogue amplifier. It includes a balanced XLR input, two unbalanced RCA inputs, fixed and variable line level outputs, and a high-quality headphone output for private listening. This gives external DACs, CD players, and other components connected through analogue inputs a proper place in the system. The H200 may be connected, but at its core it remains a serious analogue amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA phono stage worth using\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 includes a dedicated Moving Magnet phono input based on the MM section of our standalone V10 phono stage, using hand-matched FET transistor gain stages together with carefully selected op-amps. Designed for low noise, precision, and musicality, it is not a checklist feature, but a high-performance input we are happy to recommend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital done properly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 features a high-performance DAC that supports digital sources through coaxial, optical, USB-B, USB-A, and network inputs. The USB-A input allows direct playback from USB drives with up to 10,000 songs, while the network connection opens the door to streaming platforms, internet radio, podcasts, and local music libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is built to make digital music sound as natural, detailed, and engaging as possible. We achieve this because the amplifier, streamer, and DAC are all designed in-house and work together as one system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital performance depends on far more than the DAC chip itself. Power supplies,\u003cbr\u003egrounding, clocking, signal routing, analogue filtering, and integration with the product as a whole all determine how the DAC actually performs. But careful digital design is not only about decoding the signal. It is also about keeping unwanted noise away from the analogue amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital shielding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an amplifier with streaming, DAC, control systems, and analogue amplification inside the same chassis, noise control becomes critical. In the H200, particular care has been taken to protect the analogue circuits from digital switching noise. Careful layout, grounding, signal routing, and separate circuit boards for key digital components help keep noise away from the sensitive analogue stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe result is heard as a smoother, richer, and more detailed presentation, with a quieter background and a stronger sense of musical flow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStreaming without the lock-in\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is designed to work with the platforms people already use. Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready are all supported, allowing listeners to play music directly from the apps and devices they already know. There is no need to learn a proprietary music ecosystem simply to play music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor added convenience, the H200 also comes with the Hegel Control app. It provides input selection, volume control, playback commands, airable internet radio and podcasts, and browsing of music libraries through UPnP and the USB drive input. And because the streaming section is fully integrated with the H200’s hardware and firm-\u003cbr\u003eware, streaming is fast, stable, and effortless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMade for daily life\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA core Hegel belief is that a good amplifier should not demand attention every time it is used. The H200 includes a range of functions designed to make everyday listening easier. Digital Input Sense can wake the amplifier and select the correct input when a signal is detected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 can also learn volume commands from a TV remote, allowing it to be controlled naturally by everyone in the home. Because this works regardless of input, it can also be used in more advanced setups, such as with an AV receiver connected to one of the analogue inputs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach input can be assigned a fixed volume level. This makes it easy to integrate the H200 into a home theatre system or any setup where volume is controlled by another component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStartup volume and maximum volume settings help prevent unexpected volume jumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuto standby reduces unnecessary power consumption. The display dimming is automatic and fully customizable, allowing the display to be bright when needed, dimmed during normal listening, or turned off completely in a dark room.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 also supports Control4, Crestron HOME, and Crestron SIMPL, allowing it to become part of more advanced smart home systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur goal is for technology to be there when needed. The rest of the time, it stays in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReady for the future\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is designed to stay current, with firmware, app, and feature updates installed automatically when they are released. It also leaves room for future component upgrades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its coaxial digital output and DAC Loop feature, the H200 can send digital signals to an external DAC. This gives listeners a simple upgrade path. Use the H200 as a complete streaming amplifier today. Add an external DAC later. The H200 remains the central hub, handling source selection, streaming, volume control, and amplification, while the rest of the system can grow around it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe connected route\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is for listeners who want a complete system without giving up serious performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is powerful enough to drive demanding loudspeakers, refined for careful listening, and flexible for modern homes. It brings together streaming, DAC, phono, analogue inputs, smart control, and everyday convenience in one integrated amplifier. Not because more features always make a better product. Because when they are done properly, they make it easier to listen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H200 is the connected route to the same goal Hegel has always pursued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNothing added.
