Hi @VSHegel, you should look at the page on our website :wink:

Not yet, I contacted Hegel about this but I didn’t had a lot of feedback on this manner. I don’t know when Hegel device will be Plāys with Audirvāna but when ti will be done, it will be announced like we have done earlier this month.

Thank You.
Let me also reach out to Hegel Support and ask them.

" which have been certified to work with Audirvāna and whose customers can benefit from special advantages."
→ What advantages would a customer hear sonically? Can you pls expand

4

Sonically speaking, if the manufacturer would want to, we can give to the unit a special recommended settings like upsampling which could get you even better result when playing a song.

The other advantage for the user is getting a 3 month free trial of Audirvāna Studio for free :wink:

Thats a good to know.

BTW I got a response from hegel on the integration, and lets say its their honest take.

They think UPnP is good enough.
