    The player was launched at the recent Munich show with a European price of €4,500. I'm not sure about the USD price.

    That's an interesting price point for a redbook only player. I'm sure it sounds fantastic, but I wonder how it will sell?

    Re: Hegel launch a new CDP - the Mohican

    I confirmed that the US retail price of the Hegel Mohican is $5,000. Interesting that it is claimed to sound significantly better than their reference DAC (while limited to CDs only), with everything having been optimized for a single sampling rate.

    Yes, I wondered about that too Bill. In their earlier CDP's Hegel employed up to 24bit 352kHz multilevel DACs with synchronised upsampling but here they are apparently working their best DAC in native 16 bit/44.1 kHz resolution albeit with a better clock mechanism.

    Joe - I heard the unit has been programmed to remove the hair from those that don't like it hence the name, MOHICAN! LOL

    Looks like Hi-Fi Plus has a review of the Hegel Mohican in their September 2016 issue.

    Re: Hegel launch a new CDP - the Mohican



    From a demo at Hegel in Oslo. At the floor to the left a new 75 watt integrated; Röst.



    Röst uses the same power amplifier technology as H360, but with lower power.
    It sounds better than H160...

    Price will be around 20,000 NOK.

    Anyone using the Mohican? Considering getting one.

    Welcome to the forum trebor, thank you so much for joining.


    I'm considering one myself but the longer I don't use a spinner, the more difficult it is to justify.

    Yeah, and that price is a stumbling block I must admit. Read a few glowing reviews but no user reviews as yet.

    Knowing Hegel, I am sure it's a superb unit. I'd love to hear it.

    I hope Hegel’s passion and gamble to design a new CDP pays off for them. It’s not the first time I’ve read reviewers observe that CDs can sound quieter, more liquid, flowing and less sterile than files played from a computer.

    + 1. Interesting that Röst chose the Magico S5's as his reference speakers which I consider to be "great all-rounders", and just plain good value .
