Lyngdorf 2170

[Purité Audio]

The Lyngdorf 2170, a true digital amp or if you prefer 'power dac' ,a complete one box solution that replaces preamp,power amps and dac, and it includes Lyngdorf's 'room perfect' room correction .

I will set it up this weekend and report !

That's more like it.. How does it sound Keith and how would it get on driving my G3's?

I am visiting their parent company (Steinway) at CEDIA this coming week. So the timing is good on this. Let us know what you think Keith.

 

[Purité Audio]

Here it is, you get everything with it, a proper mic stand, measuring microphone ,remote control, USB module and this box does everything ,pre amp ,async USB ,dac and power amp.

Fitting the USB module.

[Thomas savage]

How much is it ?

 

[Purité Audio]

With the Async USB module, Euros 3200 inc vat.
Which is pretty reasonable for a one box system, including 'room perfect' room correction .

Yea certainly reasonable, how does it sound? What can it drive speaker wise?

I am impressed by the integrated switchmode power supply. Many buy that as a module instead of building their own.

 

[Werner]

That power supply also is ... the volume control.

 

[Purité Audio]

From what you said in 'another' place it is a shame the preamp implementation isn't as well engineered as connecting directly to loudspeakers.
Rather limits it's use to passive loudspeakers only.
Keith.

 

[amirm]

That power supply also is ... the volume control.

How so?

 

[Werner]

The voltage supply to the PWM output stage is controlled by the volume knob over a range of 24dB (i.e. from 0dB to -24dB on the amp's display). Only when a higher attenuation is desired is the digital signal itself reduced (i.e. with nominal loss of resolution).

It is remarkable that this works without any spuriae, glitches or pops. In fact this is the quietest amplifier I have ever encountered.

 

[amirm]

That explains why they they built their own!

Hi, I have a query about my Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 digital amp. I understand that this amp is sometimes referred to as a Power DAC. That being the case does it make the outboard DAC in my system, which is a Topping D90 redundant? In my setup I have my SoTM SMS 200 network player connected to my Topping DAC by USB cable, and my Topping DAC then has RCA cables output to the analogue input of my Lyngdorf. Is having my Topping DAC in the chain a waste of time and should I just use a direct connection of USB output from my SoTM sms 200 network player to the USB input of my Lyngdorf?
In short I guess my question would be is my Topping DAC adding any benefit to the sound quality of my system?

I assume the 2170 works similarly to 3400...Scroll down this thread...he says that don't use a DAC with Lyngdorf.

You could also email Lyngdorf by using their contact page. They are quick with responding.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
