XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The HINT 6 is Parasound 's new, high performance, value-engineered, Integrated Amplifier

nicknamed HINT. The HINT 6 succeeds the original Halo Integrated, an immensely popular product

acclaimed by more than two dozen reviewers who enthused: “Sounds downright sumptuous”,

“Uncompromising 'best sound for the dollar' value”, “Superlative and affordable”, “Its performance

blew me away”. In fact, Stereophile named the Halo Integrated a Class A Recommended

Component in a field of fourteen integrated amplifiers with retail prices averaging over five times

higher.

Developing the HINT 6

We asked ourselves “Could we develop a next generation Halo Integrated that would not only

surpass the finest integrated amplifiers but also outperform higher priced separate preamps &

power amps?”

We began by upgrading key parts in the analog preamp circuitry to achieve exceptional sonic

transparency. We redesigned its ESS-based DAC making it easier to integrate with Windows 10. In

response to customer requests, we added a second optical input. We modernized the volume

control, replacing its motorized potentiometer with an electronically switched, pure analog resistor

ladder array, achieving ideal channel tracking even at low listening levels. Since legendary designer

John Curl’s circuit topology is timeless, we carried over the Halo Integrated’s massive,160 watt,

Class A/AB power amplifier stage to the HINT 6

The HINT 6 is powerful, musical and uncommonly versatile. With such exquisite performance and

compelling value, the HINT 6 is the new benchmark for high-end integrated amplifiers.

The volume control features a new, dimmable display showing the exact volume setting. Other features include: user defined turn on volume, and favorite volume setting. The solid machined aluminum volume control knob, polished on the front and textured around the perimeter, rotates on ball-bearings giving it rocksolid and silky smooth operation. The Hint 6 uses a Burr-Brown high-performance, electronically-controlled analog volume control IC with high dynamic range.

The heart of the HINT 6’s power supply is a massive 1.1 kVA toroid power transformer. It is custom designed for well-contained radiated hum, high efficiency, and high power. Encapsulating this massive power transformer in an epoxy-filled steel canister assures ultra-quiet performance. The transformer has independent secondary windings and this provides more than ample voltage to each channel's power supply under the most strenuous operating conditions.
