The Hegel H400 is the Norwegian manufacturer's current mid-flagship streaming integrated amplifier, succeeding the discontinued H390. It carries over the H390's 250W-per-channel dual-mono amplifier topology and >4000 damping factor while upgrading to a bit-perfect DAC derived from Hegel's flagship H600, along with an expanded streaming-platform feature set (Roon Ready, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect Lossless, Google Cast, and AirPlay).
