Description
Hegel Viking Reference CD Player - Pure Performance. Just Press Play.
In a digital age overflowing with file formats, streaming platforms, and endless playback options, listening to music should be simple. That’s where the Hegel Viking comes in. Designed with one purpose—to play standard music CDs with uncompromising fidelity—Viking strips away the complexity and puts the joy back into listening.
Built from the ground up as a true native 16-bit / 44.1 kHz CD player, Viking is engineered for optimal performance with Red Book audio CDs. By focusing solely on one format, Viking eliminates compromises and delivers an unmatched listening experience.
Inside, you'll find only purpose-built, high-quality components:
- A dedicated laser and precision CD drive for flawless data reading
- A state-of-the-art DAC for accurate digital-to-analogue conversion—no up-sampling, no signal manipulation
- Hegel’s proprietary Master Clock system and SoundEngine technology for ultra-low jitter and perfect synchronization
- A custom analogue stage featuring low-pass filtering and Line Driver technology for fully balanced, noise-free output
The result? Incredible clarity, lifelike dynamics, and pure musicality—exactly as the artist intended.
Viking’s design is as refined as its internals. With a solid, reliable slot-in mechanism and chassis that matches Hegel’s amplifier range, it’s built to last and look great in any high-end setup. A low-noise OLED display ensures minimal signal interference, while premium connectivity options include:
- Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue outputs
- True 75-ohm BNC digital output
- Auto standby for convenience
- RC8 solid aluminium remote (compatible with all Hegel products)
The Hegel Viking is not just a CD player—it’s a celebration of the compact disc. Meticulously crafted to do one thing better than anything else: deliver pure, faithful sound straight from the disc to your ears.
If you value simplicity, precision, and sonic truth, Viking is your perfect match.
