About the Hegel H95

60W of genuine Hegel performance

The H95 delivers 60 watts per channel into 8 ohms, with the current delivery and speaker control that Hegel’s SoundEngine 2 technology makes possible. The damping factor of over 2,000 gives the amplifier a firm grip on loudspeaker drivers – the kind of control that tightens bass, clarifies midrange and keeps complex music organised under pressure.

This is not entry-level performance dressed up in premium packaging. The H95 uses the same core amplifier design philosophy as the more powerful models in Hegel’s integrated amplifier range, scaled appropriately for its power output. Paired with the right speakers, it reveals considerably more than its price and power figure might suggest.

Amplifier, DAC and streamer in one box

The H95 includes a built-in DAC and music streamer alongside the amplifier, so a single box connected to your network and speakers is all you need to play music from a phone, a tablet, a computer or a network-attached storage device. AirPlay, Spotify Connect and DLNA/UPnP are all supported.

Connectivity and outputs

The H95 has two analogue inputs and six digital inputs – coaxial, optical and USB – alongside its network streaming input. Any input can be configured as fixed level or variable, which makes it straightforward to integrate the H95 into a system that includes other source components or a home theatre setup.

A variable preamp output makes subwoofer integration simple. The headphone output on the front panel is convenient for casual listening, though customers who use headphones seriously will find a dedicated headphone amplifier a worthwhile addition.

A clear white OLED display shows the selected input, volume level and other basic information, without unnecessary visual clutter.

FAQ

Is 60W enough power?

For most domestic listening situations, yes. The H95’s power output is well suited to speakers with a sensitivity of 86dB or above in a typical room. We are happy to advise – call us and tell us about your speakers and room.

What streaming services does it support?

The H95 supports AirPlay, Spotify Connect and DLNA/UPnP. See the full streaming platform breakdown across the range on our Hegel Integrated Amplifiers page.

Is it Roon Ready?

No. The H95 is not Roon Ready certified, although it can still integrate with Roon via AirPlay. See our Hegel Integrated Amplifiers page for a full breakdown of streaming features across the range.

Can I connect a subwoofer?

Yes. The H95 has a pair of variable preamp outputs, making it straightforward to connect one or two subwoofers. Because the output level is variable, the H95 controls the subwoofer volume alongside the main speakers – no separate volume control on the subwoofer is needed for level matching.

Is the headphone output good?

The front-panel headphone output is well suited to casual and everyday listening. Those who listen seriously through headphones will find a dedicated headphone amplifier a worthwhile addition – but for background listening and occasional use it does the job well.

Can I use the H95 as a complete one-box system?

Yes. The H95 combines an amplifier, DAC and streamer in a single compact chassis. Connect it to your network and add speakers, and you have everything you need to stream music from a phone, tablet, computer or network storage device. No separate streamer or DAC is required. For listeners who want simplicity and genuine sound quality without a rack full of components, it makes a strong case for itself.
