Stereocheck
reviews the Hegel H95 as a compact network amplifier with a sleek, timeless design and excellent build quality. Sound reproduction is dynamic, energetic and detailed, with fast and controlled bass. However, when used with bright speakers such as the KEF Q750, the sound can appear sharp and fatiguing. The headphone output is considered underpowered. Overall, the H95 is praised as an impressive all-rounder for those looking for a compact, no-nonsense integrated amplifier with modern network features.
