It has built in dac, got great reviews, good resale value, and according to my research sounds better than the likes of NAD m33Mostly I wonder why that integrated amp was chosen with the goals in mind....

What about stop buying high-end stuff, but furnitures instead?Any other ideas aside from upgrading the speakers higher ?
Because my input is my pc I have software dsp and software high pass. It’s probably even better than your hardware solutions where you get dsp but worse SQ in class D. the only integration I use is the dac and the power of this HegelYour research is wrong. Did you see Amir's amplifier measurements? Mind you, the difference between good amplifiers will be inaudible. The biggest issue with this Hegel is that I cannot think of a way to insert a dsp unit between the pre and power stages. You have a line level output but no line level input for the power amp stage, nor traditional tape in and out connections. There is probably no high pass filter for just the power amp stage, or is there?
Uh uh.But worse SQ in class D
You didn’t take the bait, I’m impressed ;-)Uh uh.
G'day. Fairly new here myself and on a similar journey.To be fair the conversation with Petertyson was about 1000 pro, so I wrote that wrongly, applogies
Their advice was rel t7/x and I don’t particularly agree to that and I know there’s lots of hate towards them as they are too expensive to what they offer.
Yes I’m buying svs 2000 pro soon. Just waiting to snatch some bargainE.g. if your speakers are 8k euros, don't skimp out on a 700 euro sub.

You think class D "sounds" poor too? Where did you pick up that "information"?It has built in dac, got great reviews, good resale value, and according to my research sounds better than the likes of NAD m33

Amir's test rig is pretty pricey....and while you can do it in other ways for less, still somewhat an investment in measurement gear in both time and money....Thank you for this link,
Unfortunately can’t find information or data on dac of h390 but I’m told it’s about the quality of chord qutest.
Any way I can carry these tests myself without expensive kit ?
so 4 diffusers , 2 behind the speakers and 2 above? (I think diffusers look GREAT)Forget the DAC issue. It is not the greatest but you will not notice (and Chord is not the most obvious choice either). Deal with the room first.
Absorption first, not diffusers. Behind speakers will be the most advantageous. The ceiling at the first reflection points makes a big difference as well if it is possible. Then back wall is next in priority.so 4 diffusers , 2 behind the speakers and 2 above? (I think diffusers look GREAT)
