Hi folks,
I just dropped the hammer on a Hegel H600 as a replacement to my aging Exposure Amp and Chord DAC combo. I had a unit on demo for a weekend and it worked great as a network player under my JRiver box - An aging NUC that hosts my FLAC archive. The only limitation I encountered was it could not play some Super Audio CD .ISO's I have, at least not over the LAN. I Believe it can access via USB which I will test when my new toy lands in a week or so.
I know the box is designed to work well with streaming services such as Tidal , Qubuz and the like and it does - Its truly great in terms of plug, play and stream away, however I want to ensure I can optimise playback of my local FLAC archive in additions to any streaming services.
I would welcome any input / comment from any JRiver users who are running JRiver as there media player with the Hegel series of streamer / Integrated Amps and specifically with regards to local content, both via LAN or as my old system was USB into DAC into Amp etc.
Cheers
Mike
