Hegel H360 vs Accuphase E470


I currently have a Hegel H160, but am looking to upgrade to something with more authority to power my Vandersteen Treos.

With trade-in, the price between demo models on the Hegel H360 and Accuphase E470 are roughly comparable. However, only the Hegel offers the built in streaming DAC which is super handy when not listening to vinyl (my main source).

Would be interested to hear if people have experience with these two units. How do they stack up in your opinion?

Thanks in advance!

accuphase vs hegel lol
accuphase is on a completely different level than hegel, made in china oem gear. doesn't matter if the hegel sounds good, the accuphase amps are different class, low power high heat and heroic build quality, made in japan and constantly innovating in hardware.its been said before but hegel is mostly a software company they dont do much design of hardware, the chinese company opera audio does that. you really cannot compare the two its just silly.
