Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.

Hello All,
I’m coming up on 40 yrs in this hobby,and or obsession of ours,and I started with a pair of Khorns and Macintosh at the age of 12 and Offcourse owned a ton of different gear over the yrs.
I bought a 2170 a little more than 6 months ago and I enjoyed it so much that I quickly realized I don’t really need anything else,solid state,tubes,or even dac’s anymore.I could step off that silly merry go round of amplification and just enjoy music.I was able to utilize the extra money and time and put together a really great sounding network audio system that rivaled the best in analog that I have ever had,I was mainly a analog guy all of these yrs but finally gave it up,I even sold my longtime record collection of 3k records which included many Hot Stampers that I purchased and also several that I found on my own.

So who Luv’s the 2170 and is maybe also thinking about the new 3400.

Happy Listening,
Kenny.

I’ll keep my tube integrated for when I feel the need and possible second system upstairs with some bookshelves. I am running Jolida Fusion preamp with Odyssey amp. My room in the basement is just pretty bad. It’s an L and wood ceilings that are different heights. It sounds pretty damn descent at lower volumes. It’s when you crank it up it gets messy. Hoping the Lyngdorf will help with that.

Is it just me or does the USB port on the front not make the 3400 look in a way much cheaper, why not hide it on the back, or behind a door!?

Again I haven’t seen all the 3400 specs,but I definitely know my 2170 will accept any digital format that I’ve feed it.

Most definitely will accept and respond to the sound of Dsd512 and or 32/384 pcm that’s upsampled with HQ player.I upsample all my Redbook and or Tidal to 32/384 and have also used Dsd,but I like pcm better.

Roon as a player has a long way to go to catch up with HQ players upsampling,filtering and noise shaping features.

If you are thinking about Dsd 512 upsampling and some of the advanced filtering your going to need some serious computer horsepower.

I only use Roon as my library interface,music database and Tidal streaming integration,works flawlessly.

Like @uberwaltz I was in the market to downsize to a <10000$ SS integrated from my current setup of tube monoblocks.
I had zeroed in between the Luxman or an Accuphase class A integrated. But this thread has made me curious about the Lyngdorf and I am getting an in-house demo next week of the 2170.

It would be comparing it to my 300b SET amps, am super-excited to see how it goes.
