Hegel H200 Integrated Amplifier

Hegel H200 Integrated Amplifier, The Connected Streaming Amplifier

The Hegel H200 is a connected integrated amplifier built to bring your whole system together, with the power, control, and intelligence to make the music the priority. Known as "The Connected," it delivers 150 watts per channel and combines streaming, a high-performance DAC, an MM phono input, USB drive playback, and a headphone output in one unit. It is the streaming-equipped sibling to the fully analog Hegel A200. As an authorized Hegel dealer in Buffalo, NY USA, Vinyl Sound can help you build a complete streaming system around the H200.

Built on Control

At the heart of the H200 is a 150W Class A/B analog amplifier section using Hegel's SoundEngine2 technology, which detects distortion where it occurs and cancels it before it travels further through the signal path. Combined with stability down to 2-ohm loads and a damping factor of more than 4000, the H200 keeps low-frequency energy tightly controlled, giving bass notes precise starts and stops and a clear presentation even with demanding loudspeaker loads.

Digital Done Properly

The H200 features a high-performance DAC supporting digital sources through coaxial, optical, USB-B, USB-A, and network inputs. The USB-A input plays directly from USB drives holding up to 10,000 songs, while the network connection opens up streaming platforms, internet radio, podcasts, and local libraries. Because the amplifier, streamer, and DAC are all designed in-house, digital music sounds natural, detailed, and engaging, with particular care taken to keep digital switching noise away from the sensitive analog stages through careful layout, grounding, signal routing, and separate boards for key digital components.

Streaming Without the Lock-In

The H200 supports Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready, letting you play from the apps and devices you already use. The Hegel Control app adds input selection, volume control, playback commands, airable internet radio and podcasts, and browsing of music libraries over UPnP and the USB drive input.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the H200 different from the A200?
A: Both share the same 150W SoundEngine2 amplifier section, damping factor, and MM phono input. The H200 adds a full DAC, network streaming (Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon Ready), USB drive playback, and smart home integration, while the A200 stays fully analog with no digital inputs.

Q: Can I add an external DAC later?
A: Yes. The H200's coaxial digital output and DAC Loop feature let you send its digital signal to an external DAC down the line, while the H200 remains the central hub for source selection, streaming, volume control, and amplification.

Q: Does the H200 work with Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz?
A: Yes. The H200 supports Spotify Connect Lossless, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, and Roon Ready, so you can stream directly from the apps you already use without a proprietary ecosystem.
