Tekton Double Impacts
Wow. Just got caught up on a parallel thread "Just want to auditon DI" and it seems all hell broke loose!  Sad to see that.  Glad this thread never  went in that direction (to that degree). Nothing wrong with disagreement but unfortunate when thin...

Got it.  Now that I think about it I see where it would be very unlikely hi-res would be streamed.  Thanks for the correction.  A necessary part of learning! 
Digital Audio for Dummies
Thanks for the further clarification Steve.  Sure, that would bake sense as far as jitter in concerned.  And obviously streamed hi-res files can be superior.  But in that case we're comparing apples (Redbook) to oranges (Hi-res).  I was focused on...

" There is no doubt in my mind that my hardware playing .wav files beats ANY transport on the market. "So Steve, help me out here.  How can we both start with the same data on a Redbook CD and it ends up sounding better an a system like yours as ... 
Digital Audio for Dummies
Appreciate all the feedback.  Obviously there's a lot to learn.  amg56, over time I hope I can give more specifics but I'm in a learning phase and it's a bit difficult right now to give more specifics.  I'm sure in time I will.One immediate questi...

Eric must never sleep. 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
" Sorry, I will now shut up about it. "Please don't grey9hound!  I appreciate your encouragement.  You have inspired me to educate myself on what's out there.  So as to not get off topic, I think this would be a nice topic for a new thread. 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
grey9hound, I do appreciate your words of encouragement.  I recognize their are advantages as you have noted.  I guess in the end I favor a simple and reliable approach that uses equipment with a very high performance/price ratio.  Hence, my inter...

Redboob(k) aside, thanks for the feedback from those using the 2170 with this configuration.

The 2170 continues to interest me.  To raise the funds, would have to sell my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP I use in a second system.  And I do enjoy that amp!  I wish I loved computer based audio but for multiple reasons I don't.  I like my CD's.... 
Missing the Old Days
While I love my Tekton DI's, I'm not sure their refined sound is what the OP is looking for.  I think back to the first time I heard and then bought a pair of of Altec Lansing Santana II's.  Rock and roll heaven.  And what about their even bigger ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks for the comments jcarcopo. I guess my point was why would Lyngdorf even bother with a DA convertor when you would just feed the digital output into one of their amps. I suspect the vast majority of their cd-2 players end up paired with thei... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@aniwolfe  Yes, I was aware of this product.  But when used in an all Lyndorf system, why would you want to convert this to analogue and back to digital?  Do the Lyngdorf's have/need DA convertors if the conversion takes place at the output stage?

Sounds like the both of you are in for some very nice listening indeed.  @david_ten    Will be very interested in how things all come together David.  That integrated looks absolutely beautiful!  In time hope you fill us in on all the pieces you a...
