HEGEL MOHICAN

Second-hand. In excellent conditions. No visible signs of wear. Comes with original packaging, remote control, and manual.

Unlike modern players that aim to integrate multiple functions—such as SACD support, digital inputs, or headphone connections—the Hegel Mohican is built with a single purpose: to deliver the best possible CD playback, without distractions or compromises.

At the heart of the player lies a Sanyo CD transport, specifically optimized by Hegel with custom-designed servo circuitry, ensuring smooth and accurate disc reading. The system is powered by AKM DACs operating at native 16-bit / 44.1 kHz resolution, delivering superior audio quality without any resampling. Hegel's engineering focuses on minimizing distortion, thanks to a proprietary clock system that precisely controls the digital conversion and reduces jitter to previously unattainable levels, resulting in a sound that is natural and free of harshness.

The Mohican features a sleek and sturdy design, housed in a steel chassis with refined, durable finishes. Its compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into any audio system. In terms of connectivity, it offers both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR analog outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. The 75-ohm true BNC digital output is ideal for those who wish to use an external DAC, ensuring flawless digital signal transmission.

Beyond its sound quality, the Mohican is designed to be remarkably user-friendly. Its front interface includes two controls that resemble knobs but function as push-buttons, allowing users to power the unit on or off, skip tracks, open or close the disc tray, and start or stop playback. Each button offers a firm and satisfying response, while the player's 6.5 kg weight keeps it stable and secure during use.

Hegel created the Mohican to meet the demands of discerning listeners seeking the very best from their CD collections. This player not only delivers detailed, natural sound but also lets users rediscover subtle nuances and hidden emotions in their music—bringing their library to life in a new way. Built to last, the Mohican is a long-term investment for music enthusiasts who value top-tier audio performance.
