Hegel HD20 DAC-Has anyone heard it?


Hello,

How would you describe the Sound of the Hegel Dac?
alpha3
I tried Hegel Hd20, I compared with ps audio DAC mark I via bridge and coaxial. Hegel smooth but no on ps audio league sorry.
My 2 cents
Junglern,

Why did you prefer the ps audio DL3 over the Hegel?
I ended up getting the Rega dac, preferred its analog
sound over the Hegel.
PS audio with the bridge and coaxial, via wadia, much better that Hegel Hd20.
with AZ hologram cables, and Hegel H100 AMP, I TRIED nordost cable, very fatiguing on my set up, AZ cables best!!
I just invested in an Hegel HD25 (latest 32 bit DAC that precedes the HD20)

It's one of the most fascinating piece of equipment i heard of late, i had to have it even though i have another superdac which costs 4 times more, the sound of the HD25 is extremely warm and tube like, i am using this with the HiFace 2 from a MAC, but will be soon using it with the better HiFace Evo coupled with the dual chasis optional Evo Battery Supply from M2Tech which will also feed my Superdac Vaughan.

If i had a retirement system in mind, definitely will go with the Hegel+Harbeth Combination, just makes music and does nothing wrong, very unassuming
combination that really delivers.

In Fact, I've already put my Pass Labs XA60.5 Monos on sale and am keen on getting Hegel H30 Power Amp (though class A/B - Sounds More like Pure A) - to my ears, better than Pass anytime.
