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.

The also use a Core Power Tech conditioner. Remember the 2170 only pulls perhaps 20-30 watts when operating. I use mine with a CPT Equicore 150. All that is needed. The 1800 is a great unit! @radiohead99 you have  all you need and more 😊

The new 3400 is likely to pull more, but still very little relative to other amps and separates.

Here is something for 2170 owners to try it will cost about 250 bucks but I think is a great audio deal.  Go to Allo.com order a Digione which is a ethernet end point get an iFi 5V wallwort as an upgrade from Amazon.  Go to Ropiee website and get ther Roon software install on the Digione.   The Digione output is SPDIF get a reasonable cable, coax 75 ohm (it make a diff) connect to the 2170 by the coaxial input and enjoy Roon and Tidal.  The sound is amazing for the cost. A lot lower jitter form SPDIF as compared to USB.  Sympatico with the Lyngdorf. Enjoy.

Sounds interesting.
I already stream Tidal via spdif from my Bluesound vault2 and it sounds darn good.
No pc in my system anywhere.

Somebody here may find it useful though so thank you

Kissov,

Thanks for sharing. Great solution for those without a streamer, or trying to find an alternative to using a computer/tablet directly.

I’m currently using an Auralic Aries mini w/ AQ Carbon USB, and it sounds fantastic.
