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

radiohead99,

I haven’t got around to experimenting around with my system enough to give you a clear cut answer.

I’m not viewing anything other than dsd 128on the 2170’s screen but with my most powerful pc using Roon and HQ player and upsampling pcm or Dsd 64 to either Dsd 256 or 512 the path in Roon clearly shows these.

My newest and best sounding pc doesn’t have the horsepower to upsample beyond Dsd 128.

Now As I have stated before I greatly prefer all upsampling to be pcm 32/384, this gives me the best sound overall.

Dsd to my ears is just too smooth and I loose some snap,pop and realness,Just my opinion.

My pc uses windows server 2016,Roon Server,HQ player,Audiophile Optomizer,Fidelizer and nothing else.

I use a Ethernet cable coming from my Audiovox switch into a SOtM ultra 200 USB renderer and a USB cable from SOtM to the 2170.

I don’t use Asio,I take advantage of the simple Kernel Streaming.

I don’t have all the answers that may help you,I’m still learning all this high tech stuff myself,I was a old Analog guy for many yrs until about 6 months ago,in the meantime I have sold everything Analog related including large record collection.Yes my digital is that good.

If I discover anything else I will let you know,
Kenny.

Came home from lunch and 2170 on the front porch! Damn wish I could blow off 2nd half or the workday😬

mofojo,

Awesome 2170 almost in your system.

Enjoy,
Kenny.

Very exciting!  Looking forward to your thoughts once you've had time to setup/listen.

So yes I agreee the manual kinda sucks. So far sounds very listenable. More to come. 
Does the RP set sub and main crossover levels? I tried it and have way too much bass out of the sub.
