Hegel introduced a new entry level integrated amplifier, the H90, which will replace the H80. The H90 is effectively a mini-Röst, bringing the SoundEngine 2 technology to the entry level. It also provide an improved DAC, streaming and a headphone amplifier. The result is that the H90 provides more functionality, a higher damping factor for better bass control, and better sound than the H80, all for the same price.
Hegel announced that the Röst will now be available in black as well as white. In the Hegel booth the Röst was also on display in a range of colours, though these will not actually go into production.
