HT
In the HT submenu all inputs can be configured to act as a Home Theater input.This will set the inputs' volume at a fixed high volume level.
Activate this feature when you want to use the volume control of a connected device.
Typically a home theater amplifier or external streamers or multi-room controllers.
WARNING: Activating Home Theater sets the volume at a high fixed level. This may
harm your speakers if a fixed level input is connected.

DAC-Loop
Hegel's top of the line integrated amplifiers come equipped with a DAC-Loop function. This function makes it possible to upgrade the digital inputs of the amplifier with an external high-end DAC. This is done by connecting the jitter reduced coaxial digital output of the amplifier to the external DAC. The output of the external DAC will need to be connected to the XLR input of the amplifier.*Only amplifiers with a digital output have DAC-Loop. If you don't see a DAC-Loop submenu, your product is not equipped with this feature.
Press Play to select this submenu. The display will now look something like this:
Press Play to toggle the feature on or off.
Once activated the display will look something like this:
The Network and USB inputs can be enabled separately. We recommend not using the DAC-Loop function on these inputs as they sound better when connected directly.

In the DAC-Loop submenu, you can also enable the digital output to always be active.
USB Volume
Some Hegel products have a USB Volume feature that enables you to control the volume of the Hegel product with a connected USB source like a computer or a streamer.*If you don't see a USB Vol submenu, your product is not equipped with this feature.
Warning: When using the USB input with USB Volume activated, always remember to check the computer or connected device volume setting before pressing play.
The amplifier will change its volume to the volume setting on the computer or connected device.
