I use a separate 'streamer' as well, a dCS Network Bridge which in my case functions as a Roon Endpoint.

My personal experience is that the Metrum Adagio, the Metrum Pavane (level 3), the Aqua La Scala mkII, the Chord HUGO TT2 and the Chord DAVE (which I own) bettered the TDAI-3400 fed directly with the same digital signal. All in their own way and some more than others. My take with the Chord...

This is my experience as well, but only with certain higher-end DAC's. Which DAC do you use?

Hey, there is one of the yes-men. Your contributions are very constructive!

Very!

Exactly my point. No one is going to use this product as a stand-alone DAC. May be the 'stay all digital until speaker output' philosophy of Lyngdorf is confusing a lot of people, including @amirm. I expect a serious reviewer to first delve into what the product subject to testing is designed...

You keep repeating yourself and I am out of arguments. Please go on this way if you do not really want to be taken seriously by the audio-community except for a handful of yes-men. Btw, yes the headphone amplifier in the TDAI-3400 sucks, why didn't you measure this feature and rank it against...

Ah, this is a good case. What would you think if Amir's measured your Devialet as a stand alone DAC (which it isn't) via its analogue pre-out? This is what Devialet has to say about it.

As I said, like teflon. And you, wisely, didn't react on the part about how you did test RoomPerfect. I checked the manufacturers website and it is very clear. Nothing said about it being a DAC or preamp. It is positioned as an integrated amplifier and audio processor with digital and...

My points over at the other Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 thread were very constructive but you did act like teflon when I questioned your assumptions and approach: - The TDAI-3400 is NOT designed as a conventional DAC so it is meaningless to test it for this function the way you did, even offensive to...

So, this mediocre 'DAC' and amplifier was able to drive your Revel Salon's with ease and gave you the tendency to re-listen your entire music library again... :cool:

As I already stated in earlier posts, the TDAI's are not designed to use as a pre-amp to an analogue amplifier. In the past Lyngdorf produced the DPA-1 preamp/drc and the RP-1 room processor. These units were designed to use in an analogue chain. If you want to use the TDAI's as a pre-amp and...

Don't get me wrong, I think it is very good that these kind of reviews are performed. I am only questioning some aspects of the approach. You expected a certain outcome - based on years of experience as you say - got opposite results but didn't dive deeper in possible causes before publishing...

Unfortunately, I live in the Netherlands, so this would be a very costly exercise. May be curious US-owners feel for this. And if I understood it right, Amir's company is a Lyngdorf dealer. If so, it won't be difficult for him to get his hands on a demo unit.

The owner questions if you had a faulty unit, I seriously do and also people over at another forum with a lively Lyngdorf section do. My stereo setup with the TDAI-3400 in the chain is as transparent and resolving as the direct headphone output of my Chord DAVE. In having a science approach...

I read about this review on another forum, that's why I signed up and that's why this is my first post here. I own a TDAI-3400 so everything that is written about it has my special interest.. ;) @amirm my first reaction after reading your review was, could it be that you had a faulty unit on...
