Amplifier of the year
Fixes the room
In many rooms, the Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 will work much better than other amplifiers. Thanks to RoomPerfect.
What are the characteristics of a good amplifier? First and foremost, it must sound good. As a rule, it means for the manufacturer to pick as expensive parts as the budget allows. Work diligently with circuit design, to thin out every little detail of the music signal.
This also applies to Danish Lyngdorf. But here, in addition, space has been cleared in the budget for an expensive room correction system (RoomPerfect). It does not help much if the amplifier gives the world’s purest music signal, if the room distorts the sound coming out of the speakers.
The amplifier technology itself is so-called Class D, which is far more efficient than traditional Class AB. Because almost none of the energy goes to heat loss, you do not need a large and heavy chassis. The TDAI-1120 weighs only 3.3 kilos, which is almost comic compared to some Class AB amplifiers of both 15 and 20 kilos.
Streaming
In addition to both analog and digital inputs (including HDMI!), The amplifier supports streaming via both Chromecast and AirPlay 2. Spotify Connect is also in place, in addition, the amplifier is Roon Ready, which can stream high-resolution music files up to 192 kHz resolution. Radio listeners will appreciate internet radio with vTuner, and the times you need the simplest but not necessarily the most well-sounding path to streaming, so is Bluetooth.
Setup
The Lyngdorf amplifier connects to the wireless network with the Google Home app on your iPhone or Android mobile. It appears automatically if the mobile has activated wi-fi and Bluetooth. Alternatively, you can use cable.
When the amplifier is connected to the same network as the mobile, you can download Lyngdorf Remote to the mobile. Internet radio is built into this, and you can of course choose other sources.
