Getting Started
To enable all network and streaming capabilities, you first have to connect your Hegel device to your local network.With JustStream – a 2-in-1 program that makes it easy for you to cast from Mac to Samsung smart TV – you do not need to install any hardware, cables, or do any complicated configuration when you want to stream. Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Spotify is all the music you’ll ever need. Skip to content. Spotify Click the install file to finish up. If your download didn't start, try.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your router to the network connection port on the back of the device.Once there is a stable connection you will see a small v or dot appear in the product's display. This is to indicate that the product is connected to your local network.
Make sure the device you want to control your Hegel with is connected to the same local network. Also, make sure that this network is connected to the internet.
For more details refer to your phone, tablet or computer manual, your router manual, or your internet provider.

AirPlay
Many Hegel products support Apple AirPlay. AirPlay is a widely used streaming platform, and we wanted Hegel owners to be able to enjoy AirPlay with the best sound quality possible. That is why we build our AirPlay platform from the ground up. Ensuring that it performs optimally with our devices.When using AirPlay, you can send the music stream from an AirPlay-compatible device to the Hegel device. All AirPlay-compatible devices will detect the Hegel device in their list of AirPlay speakers.
When both devices are connected to the same network, the AirPlay icon will be displayed, and you can select the Hegel device as an AirPlay speaker. You are now ready to send the music stream to your amplifier.
Warning: After selecting the Hegel device as the output, always remember to check the player volume-setting before pressing play. The Hegel device will change its volume to the volume set in the player.
Spotify Connect
Many Hegel products support Spotify Connect. Spotify is the world's largest music streaming service, and we wanted Hegel owners to be able to enjoy Spotify in the best sound quality possible. That is why we build our Spotify platform from the ground up. Ensuring that it performs optimally with our devices.When using Spotify Connect, you can send the music stream from Spotify to the Hegel device. Use the Spotify application to control the music.

UPnP/DLNA
UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play and is, as the name suggests, an open media streaming platform. That means that it is supported by a host of products and applications. Underneath we have highlighted two such applications. There are many others that may be just as good or even better. We have chosen these because they are very inexpensive and work well with our products and cover all our music playing needs.General setup
Many Hegel products support UPnP/DLNA streaming.
When using UPnP/DLNA streaming, you can send the music stream from locally stored files or music streaming services to the Hegel device.
Seeing as UPnP/DLNA are open standards, there is some potential for communication errors between connected devices.
If you experience problems with the connection please try these steps:
If you experience problems with the connection please try these steps:
- Make sure that your network devices (routers, switches, etc) are up to date with the newest firmware
- Check that your router supports UPnP/DLNA and that these functions are enabled on your local network
- Check your firewall settings so that these do not block UPnP streaming
- Make sure that wireless devices used for streaming are actually on the same network as your Hegel amplifier
- If you are still experiencing problems, check your router supplier´s website and user forums for information

6. Finding and playing Master Quality music
You can now close all the settings menus.
Go back to the main window and click: 'Home'

MQA
MQA stands for Master Quality Authenticated and is a relatively new way of encoding a music signal. MQA claims to be able to compress original master tape quality music down to a file size manageable for today's streaming needs, and that it is able to unfold the file so that every aspect of the original recording remains. MQA calls this encoding and decoding 'Music Origami'MQA decoding or unfolding can be done in several ways.
Mac Os Dlna Server
MQA Core Decoder
This is when the decoding of the signal is done in the player. Players include among others Tidal, Audirvana, and Roon.
These players unfold the MQA file one time and produce a signal that is 'higher than CD-quality', either 88.2kHz or 96kHz.
All Hegel devices with a network or USB input can receive this signal.

All Hegel devices with a network or USB input can receive this signal.
MQA Renderer
An MQA renderer can take the once unfolded signal from an MQA Core Decoder and unfold it a second and a third time to extract even more details from the music file.
Hegel MQA compatible devices can act as an MQA Renderer. When the Hegel MQA compatible device operates in this mode the display will say OFS + the sampling frequency. OFS means Original Sample Rate. But why stop there?

MQA Full Decoder
The best and most complete unfolding you get when the product does all of the MQA unfolding itself. It unfolds the compressed MQA file three times and delivers the highest possible sound quality. MQA states that 'at this level of playback you are hearing what the artists created in the studio..' Hegel MQA compatible devices can act as an MQA Full Decoder. When the Hegel MQA compatible device operates in this mode the display will say MQA + the sampling frequency. To enable this you must turn on MQA passthrough in your MQA player, such as Tidal or Roon.

Roon Ready
An apology from all at Hegel!
Dlna Mac Software
We are working on getting Roon Ready certification for many of our products.
Those products are H120, H190, H390, and H590.
We announced this upcoming feature to press and show audiences well over a year ago, and still, it is not finished. It would be easy to blame the delay on some big external event like the Corona health crises, but that would not be true. The truth is that the delay is not caused by one big external thing but rather a number of small internal things that came together and slowed us down. At Hegel, we pride ourselves on delivering on our promises, and this time we dropped the ball completely.

For this, we are truly and deeply sorry!
We are working very hard to remedy the situation and progress is being made every day. Unfortunately, or rather wise from experience, we can not give an estimate on when we will be ready. All we can say is that Roon Ready will come and that we are doing all we can to finish it as soon as possible.
We hope you have the patience to wait a bit longer.
