About the H80
The Hegel H80 is an integrated stereo amplifier-DAC from Norway, produced around 2014-2017. It combines a high-quality preamplifier, DAC similar to the HD11 model using Texas Instruments PCM1754 chip, and patented SoundEngine output stages for low distortion and high damping without global feedback. It offers 5 digital inputs (2 coaxial up to 24/192kHz, 2 optical up to 24/192kHz, 1 USB up to 24/96kHz adaptive with reclocking), 3 analog inputs (2 RCA unbalanced, one configurable as HT bypass, 1 XLR balanced), and speaker outputs. Known for neutral, smooth sound, low noise, high transparency, and solid build with toroidal transformer. Suitable for moderately sensitive speakers in high-performance systems. Dimensions vary slightly in reports but consistently around 80-100mm H x 430mm W x 310-345mm D, weight 12kg (26.4 lbs shipping).
