Hegel H400 Integrated Streaming Amplifier
Overview
The Hegel H400, nicknamed "Streamliner," brings much of the H600's reference-level design down to a more attainable price point. It's a Class AB amplifier delivering 250 watts per channel into 8 ohms and stable down to 2-ohm loads, built on the same dual mono construction, streaming platform, and bit-perfect DAC design found in Hegel's flagship integrated amplifier.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
What makes the H400 worth a look is how much of the H600 it actually shares — the same Dual Mono layout, the same robust streaming engine, and a DAC based directly on the one in the H600. SoundEngine2 technology gives it a damping factor of 4000 for tight speaker control, and automatic signal detection means connected digital sources switch the amplifier to the correct input without any manual selection.
Best for the Hegel H400: set an input to fixed high volume if you're pairing it with a home theater preamp or multi-room device, and use the TV remote function to control the amplifier directly from your existing remote.

Why the Hegel H400 Stands Out
250W Per Channel, Dual Mono Design
Class AB power stable down to 2-ohm loads, with a damping factor of 4000 for tight, controlled bass.
DAC Shared with the Reference H600
A bit-perfect DAC design based directly on Hegel's flagship integrated amplifier for detailed, natural sound.
Comprehensive Lossless Streaming
Spotify Connect (lossless), Qobuz Connect, Tidal Connect, Roon Ready, Google Cast, AirPlay, and UPnP are all built in.
Automatic Input Detection
Recognizes connected digital sources and switches to the correct input automatically, no manual selection needed.
Minimalist, Intuitive Design
Two multifunctional knobs handle source selection and volume, with a clear central display and a TV remote control function.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Value-Conscious Reference Seeker: Wants most of the H600's design and DAC at a lower price point.
- The All-Source Streamer: Wants lossless streaming across Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, and Roon from a single hub.
- The Home Theater Integrator: Wants a fixed high-volume input to pair with an existing AV preamp or multi-room system.
How It Compares
If you want even more power and a dedicated analog preamplifier, the Hegel H600 sits above the H400 as Hegel's reference integrated amplifier.
