Hegel Hd30 Dac Streamer Digital Pre Amp Audiophile RRP £3800 This unit is in absolute mint condition not a mark to be seen, produces amazing sound from the two internal dacs. Purchased February 2021 I have listed to and owned dacs from chord rme Naim and topping and I have to say this is in a different league (as. You would expect for £4k ) with a much more Spacious, 3D sound, sound staging is breathtaking the most realistic I’ve Listen to. Great reviews on line One I remember reading compared this to dacs you would hear for £10,000! Hegel say The HD30 is the ultimate digital control center. It does everything you can dream of and does so with world-class quality. There is an abundance of inputs, ranging from balanced AES/EBU and BNC connectors, to Network and USB connections - with the latter also accepting DSD signals. The built-in volume attenuator allows you to connect directly to a power amplifier or a pair of active loudspeakers. Highly advanced power supplies and careful lay-out brings the noise floor down towards a mindblowing -150 dB. In short... Do you even dare to try it? Hegel HD30 When designing a digital-to-analog converter of world-class, you are essentially making a masterpiece. One for others to try and copy. It is not enough to select the best components on the market and lay them out cleverly. When creating a masterpiece, you must question if you can make it better than the best. The HD30 was just such a masterpiece project. To reach goals that, up until now, was seen as unobtainable, we need to tweak the world’s best-measuring equipment available. Just to be able to fine-tune our clock crystals and power supplies. We designed master clocks from the ground up and went to great lengths to design ultra-low noise power supplies and shielding from outside interference. The results are stunning. The musicality of the HD30 is at a level never before heard. You can experience instruments and virtually feel the room they play in. You feel the smile widening in your face and the hair rising on your arms when the HD30 begins to play. The finger touching the string, a millisecond before the guitar starts to sound. The singer drawing that breath of anticipation right before he starts playing in front of a live crowd. Whether you choose to use Apple AirPlay, a CD-player, a computer or any other device. The HD30 will bring all the music and enthusiasm that exists in the recording.
