Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Hegel amplifiers made?
Hegel is designed and engineered in Oslo, Norway. Every model reflects the brand's Scandinavian philosophy of clean design, low distortion and high, effortless power delivery.

It depends on your speakers and room. The H95 and H150 suit compact to mid-size systems, the H190v adds built-in music streaming to that same tier, and the H400 and H600 step up to drive demanding speakers with total ease. Not sure? Call us at 647-977-1100 and we'll match a Hegel to your setup.
Do Hegel amplifiers include a DAC and streaming?
Many do. Models such as the H190v, H400 and H600 feature a built-in DAC plus network streaming with AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Roon support, so you can stream in high resolution without extra boxes.
Do all of a Hegel amplifier's digital inputs go through the same DAC?
Yes. On Hegel models with a built-in DAC, every digital input, whether USB, optical, coaxial or network streaming, is converted by the same high-quality internal DAC stage, so sound quality stays consistent no matter which source you connect. For a dedicated standalone DAC to pair with any amplifier or preamp, the Hegel D50 delivers that same digital engineering as its own component.
When should I move from an integrated amplifier to Hegel separates?
An integrated amplifier like the H400 or H600 already delivers reference-quality sound in one chassis, but pairing a Hegel preamplifier such as the P30A or P20 with a dedicated power amplifier like the H30A or H20 removes any shared circuitry between preamp and power stages, giving you more flexibility to upgrade one piece at a time and the headroom to drive larger, harder-to-drive speakers. It's the natural next step for a system you plan to keep building on.
What's the difference between the Hegel H30A and H20 power amplifiers?
The H30A is Hegel's flagship power amplifier, built for the highest output and the most demanding speaker loads in reference-level systems. The H20 delivers that same separates-level sound quality in a more accessible package that still comfortably drives the vast majority of high-end speakers.
Do I need the Hegel V10 phono preamplifier if I have a turntable?
Yes, if your Hegel amplifier or preamp doesn't include a built-in phono stage. The V10 is a dedicated phono preamplifier that lets you connect a turntable directly into any Hegel system, so your vinyl front end gets the same standard of engineering as the rest of your components.
Is the Hegel VIKING CD player still worth buying?
Yes, especially if you have a CD collection or prefer a dedicated disc-based source. The VIKING pairs Hegel's digital engineering with a proper CD transport, so it slots straight into a Hegel system through the same DAC-quality signal path as their streaming components.
What are the Hegel C-series amplifiers (C53, C54, C55) used for?
The C-series is Hegel's custom installation lineup, built for multi-room and home theater systems where the amplifier is integrated into a rack rather than used as a standalone stereo component. They deliver the same Hegel sound quality in a form built for professional installation.
Is Vinyl Sound an authorized Hegel dealer in Canada?
Yes. Vinyl Sound (Richmond Hill / Toronto) is an authorized Canadian Hegel dealer, so every unit comes with full manufacturer warranty and genuine after-sales support.
Do you ship Hegel across Canada?
Yes, we ship Hegel components across Canada, with free shipping on orders over $199. Prefer to hear before you buy? Book a private listening session at our Richmond Hill showroom.
