There are many challenges and demands to be met, when it comes to the proper transmission of the energy from amplifiers to the speakers. However we twist and turn the subject around, loudspeakers are the final link with the listener. Thus, the most important part of the high-end audio chain. Without being properly driven and even more importantly, properly designed, there is no way to expect potent sonic outcome, that will engage critical listener for the prolonged aural sessions. ”
Hegel Music Systems Röst DAC-Integrated Amplifier Review
October 10, 2017 Comments Off on Hegel Music Systems Röst DAC-Integrated Amplifier Review
“Comparative listening also highlighted how the Hegel Röst couldn’t match the Audio Note in fluidity and palpable presence. Through the tubed amp, harmonically rich and complex instruments, such as John Roney’s piano, or Bobby Hutcherson’s vibraphone on Eric Dolphy’s “Out to Lunch (LP, Blue Note/Music Matters MMBST-84163), sounded organically smooth, liquid, and whole, with full harmonic development and believable attack, sustain, and decay. The Hegel’s harmonic envelope seemed smaller in comparison, particularly in terms of sustain and decay, which resulted in a mildly coarser sound. But again, this was audible only in a head-to-head comparison with the twice-the-price Audio Note; the Hegel outdid many other good solid-state amps in listenability, tone, and texture.”

“he overall balance is more liquid than typical for a modern DAP whose chips hedge toward state of the art rather than NOS. But it’s not as chalky or warm as a first-gen AK100 or iPhone 4. Listen, I have no idea where the liquidy sound comes from. But it’s there. And it nails every music I throw at it. In single ended, the WM1Z can spit out a damn detailed stereo image, topping out somewhere around 90dB, or bottoming out around 80dB, load dependent. This surpasses the great bulk of my favourite DAPs and a few good amps, the Vorzüge PURE/DUO among them. Move on up to balanced, and 90dB becomes closer to 110dB.

“Fortunately, I had recently been to a live performance by Patricia Barber and so the first point of reference was Patricia Barber’s Companion, a live recording in a small club similar to my live experience. In particular, the second track, Use Me, featuring an extended double bass solo, was most telling. I have never ever experienced a more natural and realistic reproduction of double bass in my listening room. Every nuance and resonance of the instrument, which is notoriously difficult to reproduce, was laid out with full-bodied naturalness and clarity.”

“Enough, back to the music. Listening to “Say Uncle”, the piano at the start is clear and dynamic, then as Vienna chimes in there is a seamless transition between instrument and voice. There is a certain sweetness to her honest intonations and phrasings that brings tears to your eyes. The speakers are able to convey emotion, a quality that surprisingly is often missing, but one that speaks to the soul of this gift we call music. Without it, you might as well be listening to female robots.”
