Now the post is even older, but as I have a setup with SB Touch and a Lyngdorf TDAI 2200 with RoomPerfect, I'd thought I'd drop a note. I'm extremely pleased with the system, both when it comes to sound and WAF. RoomPerfect is rather addictive - a lot can be said, but in short it allows you to listen to music loud all day without getting tired in your head :) I my experience, RoomPerfect is very easy to set up, but one has still to be aware of the basic physics of sound to get the most of the system: RoomPerfect cannot correct poor speaker placement, it only optimises within the given setting. RoomPerfect optimises the sound by removing non-sound energy and say an out-of-phase sub can make it remove a lot! In such case the sound will become somewhat flat and artificial, but if the basic physics of sound are kept in mind when placing the speakers, a Stradivarius will render as a Stradivarius. The TDAI 2200 is a true digital amplifier, so there's no D/A conversion before amplifying - the amplifier is actually a power DAC. Using Equibit it renders the sound in every detail regardless of volume and as you can keep everything digital 24/96 all the way to the speaker-cables, you get a lot of detail combined with emense power and control. This also makes it a very "clean" amplifier with no sound of it own, so it very revealing or even unforgiving when poor recordings are played - you get what's recorded, no less, no more, and if you prefer a "toned" sound, Lyngdorf is not the way to go. BTW, Lyngdorf is now working together with Steinway - the price is a no less than scary (to me anyway), but it sure looks promising, fx http://www.steinwaylyngdorf.com/products/s-series-speakers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Askim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18879 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58617
