Hegel HD12

Hegel HD12 in excellent condition.

Description

The HD12 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 -150dB. Converts your digital sources to analog with an emphasis on their natural musicality.

The Hegel HD12 has received many outstanding reviews, emphasizing its inherent musicality as described below by Enjoy The Music:

“Its ability to repeatedly engage me with whatever it was playing, regardless of format, from 16-bit/44.1kHz ripped Red Book CD files, all the way up to DSD64 files, left me with a unexpected sense of admiration. This DAC offers the most unfailingly musical performance I’ve yet heard below the $2500 mark… the music this little DAC recreates is consistently absorbing and vibrant. It successfully combines an unexpectedly smooth broadband presentation, atypical resolution and focus, remarkably open and effortless high frequency performance, fast and deep low frequency response, surprisingly honest tonal color and body, and a pulse elevating sense of pace, rhythm, and timing.”
