hegel amps are truly outstanding
the onboard dacs are very good but short of the standard set by the sq of the amp section
h90 is last gen dac implementation, same gen as the discontinued rost
current gen dac is h120/h190 -- lower end of the line, but noticeably improved over the h90/rost dac section
you will do better with chord 2qute or even mojo into the analog inputs of the hegel than using the h90 onboard dac, sound will be cleaner more lively
