Röst is the name of one of Norway's most beautiful islands. Way up north in Lofoten. About as far out from the mainland as you can get. The name fits like a glove. Röst can also mean "voice", and the Röst is truly the "voice of Hegel". With the patented SoundEngine amplifier technology, highly advanced preamplifier and delicately designed D/A-converter, the Röst sounds fluidly natural and dynamic. It preserves all the tiny details that create the feeling of being there, and delivers deep, thundering bass when needed. The Röst easily connects to any device you want - a CD-player, a streamer, a computer or perhaps Google Cast Audio? You can connect your iPhone, Macbook or even an AppleTV using AirPlay. Or maybe integrate a Sonos Connect? The choice is yours. Hegel Röst is designed to make everyday devices sound as good as possible, and to make audiophile devices sound even better. We achieve this using proprietary technology developed in-house by Hegel.

The Röst is available in a smooth, white, painted, aluminium and steel chassis. Even the knobs are made of solid aluminium, and have the same comfortable touch. Together with the white, slightly dimmed OLED display, this is a unit you would easily have visible in the home. Ready to be used with your speakers or headphones. The Röst comes with a remote control, made from a solid block of aluminum, but is also IP-controllable and may be integrated in most smart-home solutions. If you have experience in writing code, you can get access to the IP-control table and write your own control systems. Note that we do not offer support on that.

音樂零距離
現代的音響系統功能要多，能夠組成非常簡單的音響系統，同時保留可玩性以及升級可能；體積不能太大；加入更多功能，而且要符合現代都市人的音樂聆聽習慣。而HEGEL 的ROST符合了時代趨勢的高優質品味、功能性強的DAC數位串流擴大機上市了。
符合潮流
擁有數位串流功能、USB DAC，而且身型緊緻、定價不高的綜合擴大機，就是最佳對應方案。這類多合一擴大機在現時的音響市場，肩負着重要責任，就是將音樂愛好者拉回傳統音響市場，從而符合年輕發燒友的中價位需求。
跨界利器
Röst 是 Hegel第三款備有網路串流功能的綜合擴大機，品牌四款現役擴大機之中，只入門款 H80沒有串流規格，但所有機型皆有 USB DAC，原因非常明顯，就是希望照顧更廣闊的年齡層，以及有助於簡化系統。為何包括 Hegel 在內，不少廠家會將串流與擴大機二合為一，而非前級，理由十分簡單，同樣是為了使用家可以簡化系統，用最少器材、最低的金錢支出，就可以完成音響系統。 Röst體型輕巧符合小空間不挑位的好處,將音響與網路結合，成為年輕人、非發燒友與音響的交匯點，USB 介面可以提升玩家們在瀏覽 YouTube、玩電腦遊戲時的聲音享受，亦將串流服務、智能電話通通與擴大機相關，再加上耳擴放大線路，將外出時、回家後、夜深時分三段音樂銜接聆聽。
自然就是如此
ROST自然的音色, 正直而不木訥、率性又不粗魯，就是 Röst 的聲音，能夠做到各項 Hi Fi 元素，同時又流暢、連貫地展現出來，將音樂播得生動，不扭曲音樂原有的情緒，「聲音自然」正是形容這種現象。
可大可小
以 Röst 以串流方式播放音樂的話，小空間房最為理想，既可讓它舒展，播放大型管弦樂也可以聽到力量與音場，又不會為聆聽者帶來壓迫感。 假如換成更大空間，建議為 Röst 配上一台同價位的 CD 機，聲音密度以及場面可以再擴大一圈，只因它的模擬放大部分潛力不俗，這台擴大機有能力駕馭大型的揚聲器。
