Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???


I'm seriously thinking about dumping ALL my HiFi gear and settling on a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 and a pair of KEF LS50 Metas and be done with it......Current system is Node2i/Gustard X16 DAC/ Schiit Freya Preamp/ VTA Dynaco ST120 Tube or First Watt F5v2 Class A or ICE Power 200 Class D or Yamaha M45 Class A/AB.......With LS50 Metas. 

 I'm really intrigued with the whole Lyngdorf thing of room correction, full digital nearly end to end, all in one, fantastic GUI, and about 1/2 of what I have invested $$

 Might see if a dealer will let me try one.....

Recently I'm driving them with an 8 w/ch tube amplifier and loving it! Usually I'm running them with 50 w/vh Pass Labs First Watt....

 

Lyngdorf lover here. I have a TDAI-3400. Speakers are Spatial Audio X5. I also have a Whammerdyne DGA-1 (SET amp) and an MSB Analog DAC, which goes against the OP's goal of simplifying, but I can toggle between which source system drives the speakers. The Lyngdorf sounds so good that I listen to it 90% of the time and only switch to the Whammer/MSB setup when I want to sit, focus and really dig deep into the experience. In that case, the Whammer/MSB does create more space and dynamics, but the Lyngdorf is VERY good. And its room correction and DSP capabilities are fantastic.

Well... don't know about Lyngdorf... but... I do have the Hegel H590 integrated (DAC, Pre, Amp) in 1 box.  Use the Bryston BDP-3 as the player / streamer - which is superb also.  This setup drives my Harbeths to perfection - which few others can.  

It is much more simple than everything in separate boxes, which you must get just right to do the job as well.  And you eliminate a lot of the "cable" questions.  

So... I'm sure the Lyngdorf might be "just the ticket" for some speakers - though, it would have to match their requirements to drive them to their best.  

@rbrertalotto- it’s good to save up for things, but from where I sit, everything I want to buy jumps $500 every time I turn around.  Maybe better to buy on credit and pay a few months interest. Just sayin. Also, if the 8 watt tube amp is what you love, I doubt any moderately-priced solid state amp will make you as happy. Just get the sub and be done before the price doubles. IMO. 

I bought a Lyngdorf 2170 for my downstairs system.  My living room is not a good sounding room, and the Lyngdorf Room Perfect correction really made a huge difference in a problematic room.  If you don't have a well treated dedicated room, Room Perfect can be a game changer.  My Lyngdorf displaced a very highly regarded 300B amp.  I thought so highly of it that I encouraged two of my adult children, who are budding audiophiles in their own right, to go the Lyngdorf 2170 route.  They are both well pleased with Lyngdorf.  If you are running a digital source, inputing the digital signal to the Lyngdorf is astonishingly good.  This digital from beginning to end thing that Lyngdorf advocates is the real deal.  I am somewhat less enthusiastic about running analog in.  My daughter wanted vinyl, and we had to get her a phono preamp.  The built in phono on the Lyngdorf was just not very good. 

I bought my Lyngdorf used.  That kind of money for a superb integrated amp with an outstanding Internal DAC is just crazy cheap.  Highly recommended.
