The Hegel H95 Integrated Streaming Amplifier is not just an amplifier, but also a complete streaming solution with both AirPlay and UPnP streaming capabilities. The H95 has built-in Spotify Connect for instantaneous and incredibly responsive music playback.
Firmware Upgradeable
Hegel want their products to last as long as possible. That means they need to be able to change with time. Therefore, the H95's built-in software is upgradeable over the air with Firmware updates, ensuring that improved functionalities and new features are delivered directly to your amplifier, with no hassle, and cost free.
Digital-to-Analog Converter
While connectivity and upgradability are important, it is on the inside where the H95 really showcases its intelligence. Today, most media going to your amp is digital. That is why the H95 is equipped with a Digital-to-analog converter of the highest quality - making the change from digital to analog in a very intelligent way.
With technology crafted from the ground up and in-house by the Hegel team, you can take full control of the digital data stream. And using design developed to equip Hegel's absolute reference products, you can be sure digital music is delivered in its purest form. The result for you is blissfully natural sound, without any added artifacts, enabling you to just play louder.
Hegel H95 SoundEngine 2 Technology
Add to this Hegel's patented SoundEngine2 technology and you really get something spectacular. The technology reduces signal distortion to levels almost immeasurable and makes certain you totally immerse yourself in your music or your movies.The SoundEngine2 technology also applies astonishing bass control and grip on your loudspeakers. H95's grip, in technical terms 'damping factor', is up to 20 times higher than the industry average. This delivers a dynamic, agile, and powerful bass response, and is why 60 watts of output power is more than enough to drive challenging speakers with confidence.
H95 Input & Output Connections
The H95 is not only designed to change with time, but also with your needs. All inputs are configurable to be fixed level inputs, allowing you to easily integrate the H95 in a Home Theater or existing Multi Room system. There is also a high-quality headphone output, a variable pre output for connecting a subwoofer or other equipment, and a sleek informative OLED display.
This makes it a perfect central 'engine' to your system. There is no need to worry about future add-ons. Changing up to Hegel's cool design and signature sound quality, with a host of inputs and playback possibilities, will allow you to build an amazing multi-talented system. That is intelligence.
Is the Hegel H95 Roon Ready?
No. At the time of writing (9th June 2022) Hegel have no plans to make the H95 Roon ready.
When will the Hegel H190 have Apple AirPlay 2?
As of January 19th 2023, with Firmware update p5123.3102, the Hegel H95 is now AirPlay2 compatible.
