Hegel H590

I have the H360 driving my salon’2s and for the first time last night the display read HOT and output stopped! Red hot chili peppers at 75 lasted almost all the was thru "i’m with you". Oh well, maybe a 590 is in my future or a used h30 or an h20 to do the horizontal bop. thing is I love the sound of the h360 and when I compared it to the less powered int’s I really didn’t hear a difference, the h190 might have had a little more snap but I didn’t have them side by side to compare. oh yea I turned the h360 back on 10 minutes later and it played as if nothing happened, my +100 db was done for the evening tho.

Do not understand why Hegel does not make this a ROON endpoint. Especially, considering they wrote their own OS for it.

Perhaps it's because they wrote their own software / OS.

From Anders Ertzied / Hegel:  "We don't run Linux: we've written our own proprietary operating system."

Perhaps someone can comment on whether they can (if they are using software outside of the types Roon supports)?

I work in software in Silicon Valley with the best programmers in the world. I can’t see why any reasonable engineer would make their own OS anymore. It’s so easy to customize Linux or Android, which are stable platforms and actively being improved, not to mention security updates.
