Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I think with CD use dwindling, people will take a USB drive with music on it to a friend's house to play, so a front port makes good sense.

The new Ultralinear is a home run, sensational transparency along with the LTA characteristics of tone, timbre/color, and soundstage!

I heard the Tekton Impact Monitors and felt it was one of the very few smaller rooms to get the speakers to disappear, matched to the room so appropriate bass w/o boom or bloat, precise vocal image, believable voices, piano clear, big dynamic swin... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Steve N, Since you like Jeff Wells' SS amps, have you heard his and Scott Frankland's new tube preamp the Commander? Might be a budget pre with $10K sonics.

Craig59, Jerry (10 Audio) called the Valvet V2 the best amp he ever heard and purchased the review unit, high praise. The 2170 is not a Class D amp, it is a direct digital topology like the Exogal Comet/Ion pairing and shouldn't be lumped into the...

@uberwaltz, You are correct about the extra features, I do not read in the Lyngdorf lit anything about newer/revised/better design or sonic performance.

I just got the price from HiFi Heaven, $6,500 plus optional boards.

@jcarcopo, If it's OK to ask, was the 3400 much more expensive than the 2170? What optional boards did you get?

@jcarcopo, Great news, and congratulations on the first 3400 in the field! Keep us informed on how you feel about it.

Both Lyngdorf units have digital crossovers built in, the 2400 is shown in the stack as an example of bi-amping perhaps.

@kenscott, the show report about using the 2170 as pre/dac I think used the digital out from the 2170 and let the active speakers do dac/power, just conjecture.

Lyngdorf lists the 3400 as Roon Ready and Spotify Connect are part of it's streaming services.

@jcarcopo & david_ten, Lyngdorf just released a new integrated, TDAI- 3400, double the power and possibly other improvements. Bill raves about his modded TDAI-2170 and I'm very interested in this new model.

Joe, lancelock on this thread lives in Annapolis, owns DIs, and has ordered DI SEs. He has used all of the LTA tube amps, 10, 40, and new Ultralinear; Plinius, and Mirror Image SS amps @200WPC, so he can shed some light on the differences on ampli...
