About the Viking
The Hegel Viking CD player is designed exclusively for CD playback, featuring a dedicated laser and CD drive for optimal data reading. It uses a state-of-the-art DAC with minimal distortion and does not upsample or alter the signal, preserving the original sound quality. The player incorporates a unique Master clock system with a quartz crystal and patented SoundEngine technology to reduce jitter and ensure perfect timing between the drive and DAC. The analogue stage includes a low pass filter and Line Driver technology for balanced, noise-free signal handling. The Viking has an OLED display chosen for low noise, enhancing sound clarity. Its design matches Hegel's P30A and H30A amplifiers for a cohesive look. It offers one unbalanced RCA and one balanced XLR line-level output, plus a BNC digital output. The player is praised for its refined sound, low distortion, and excellent timing, making it a high point in its price class.
