One Box, Total Control Over Music and Movies

The Parasound HINT 6 is a do‑it‑all integrated amplifier that unites a high‑end ESS Sabre32 DAC, MM/MC phono stage, headphone amp, and 160 W per channel into one elegant chassis. It’s compact yet commanding—equally at home with vinyl, high‑res streaming, or movie night.

Based on John Curl’s Class A/AB amplifier design, the HINT 6 delivers 160 W x2 into 8 Ω (240 W x2 into 4 Ω), includes an ESS Sabre32 Reference (ES9018K2M) DAC with USB up to 32‑bit/384 kHz and DSD256, and adds Home Theater Bypass with balanced XLR alongside multiple digital/analog inputs. Clean power, real flexibility.

Praised by audiophiles and reviewers alike

The lady of the house enters the scene, listens briefly and comments briefly and finally 'Sounds like a concert, it can stay!' You have to search for an amplifier that plays so completely and correctly for this price with the proverbial magnifying glass.
Fidelity-Online, Germany November 2019
You'll be hard pressed to find another integrated amplifier at this price that can match the HINT 6's impressive list of features, power, and smooth and engaging sound.
The Audio Beatnik August 2019
San Francisco-based Parasound continues to recalibrate accepted price-vs-performance expectations in the high end. The HINT 6 consistently reproduced all manner of music with remarkable confidence, consistency, and grace. Pairing the HINT 6 to my beloved Maggie 1.7i panels proved downright revelatory.
Positive Feedback June 2019
The HINT 6 worked well with every speaker I threw at it. Absolutely breathtaking...exhilarating. I can't think of another integrated amplifier that offers so many options and has such solid, generous sound. Recommended.
Stereophile May 2019
...brilliantly detailed Parasound.
Stereophile February 2019
This is a confident and enthusiastic amplifier that's just fun to listen to.
