FWIW - running a Yggdrasil GS2 via XLRs into the H390 but, yes, to answer your original question, definitely audition the D50.
Any Hegel H390 owners using Hegel D50 DAC?
Having tried two well-regarded r2r DACs with disappointing results, I’m now wondering whether it might make sense to demo the D50, which, for some reason, rarely gets mentioned here.
If you want to suggest alternatives, please be aware that 1) I only buy what can be auditioned at home and returned and 2) my budget is 6K.
Thanks!

Good luck, @stuartk. If you aren't committed anywhere yet, check ListenUp...Hegel authorized on-line dealer. |
Listen Up customer here as well. Good luck with the D50. I hope it brings what you are looking for. How long have you had your H390? FWIW - A'gon member Nutty sent me an SR Purple Fuse for the H390. I honestly wanted no part of that stuff. Some of the fuse threads here just seemed delusional to me. Eventually, however, I tried it. I can tell you, I was pleasantly surprised. The change was immediate and positive. I paid him for the fuse. To my ear, it opened up the sound of the H390. That was back in June 2023. Haven't looked back. |
