Time for this thread to ride into the sunset…

Wait a bit, the H390 and H590 are not RR yet….

I had the same problem with my 190. I had to restore to factory defaults to get the volume to resume working normally. This did not impact the 190’s Roon ready status.

I am seeing it re-sample 192 down to 176 which I don’t understand.

I have been feeding my 190 with a Matrix Mini-I Pro and may just stick with that as it gives me all the resolutions including pure DSD that the Hegel can’t do. But will listen both ways and decide based on that.

There is a discussion on Hegel re-sampling here …

Ah, thanks for the link. Very helpful. :grinning:

Guess I will listen and decide what I prefer. If the Hegel can do the job on its own I might repurpose the Matrix or sell it.

I love that you can turn the hegel on with roon now. Does anyone know if you can turn it off via laptop instead of the remote (in Eco mode)?

I don’t turn it off, I just stop playing the music and it will go to sleep by itself after 15 min.

Thank you.

@Anders_Ertzeid… First of all congratulations on shipping the Roon Ready Firmware update!

I’m eagerly waiting for the H590 update, Any idea on ETA?

I do not want to give an ETA on it. But I can say that we dont believe it will take so long since we feel certain that the big hurdles are behind us and that it is simply tweaking for the different signal path + DSD

There was a mention that the delay of Roon for 390/590 was because of the “bit-perfect” DAC architecture that is not shared with the H120 and the H190.

Can you clarify if this is true? Also, how far are we from the deployment of Roon for 390/590?

Thanks!

A post was split to a new topic: H120 Roon Ready update, lost the brightness on analogue inputs

yes, just press the speaker / volume button and chose from the pop-up the on/off button left above.
Thats all.

3 posts were split to a new topic: I am looking for some ideas where I could go with a better DAC…

So I guess this thread is now dead because Hegel has the 120 and 190 roon ready? What about us 390 and 590 people are we just out of luck now for updates? will it be another 3 years without the roon ready capability?

Anders has been active on the forums and has said they are hard at work on those two Amps so let’s hope in 2022 they see the light of day.
I can understand why they are not promising any delivery dates after what has bitten them over the last few years.

Just hope it doesn’t take a couple of years like the last time
