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.

Curious how would both Lyngdorf (2170 & 3400) stack up against the Naim Uniti Nova. Has anyone made direct comparison? The Lyngdorf’s amplifier sections are class D whereas the Naim Uniti Nova’s amplifier section is analog or class AB.

I do own the Naim Uniti Nova for my bedroom setup paired with a pair of B&W 805 D3 stand-mount speakers. But I’ve never heard the Lyngdorf 2170 nor 3400. I know that the Naim lacks any room correction. Just basic sound quality alone without Room Perfect engaged on the Lyngdorf.

The Naim Uniti Nova is basically a streamer/DAC/integrated amp all in a single chassis. The Uniti series is Naim’s entry level series.

Any inputs or thoughts? Out of curiosity.

I'm using the Naim Uniti Nova to drive the B&W 805 D3 bookshelf speakers. This is only my bedroom setup. I do have a main setup in my dedicated listening room. 
Just curious how the Naim Uniti Nova would compare to both Lyngdorf 2170 & 3400. The Naim Uniti Nova has phenomenal streamer/DAC/clock.

Yes, I know it re-digitizes.  It doesn't seem to make sense but I feel I got back a little bit of air and dimensionality using the Yggdrasil.

As I said, I'll try sending the digital directly to the 3400 again later on and hear how it seems...
