General Description
When we started out designing the Lyngdorf TDAI-2200, our goal was to create a genuine
high-end amplifier, based on the highly acclaimed Millennium, i.e. possessing a combination of
unsurpassed sonical qualities together with a very strong DSP engine that gave the user the
ability to make real improvements in the final sound heard in the living room. At the same
time a parallel goal was to hit a more affordable price point than the Millennium.
Today’s hi-fi industry is very good at building ideal products for ideal rooms. However, real
world rooms are anything but ideal, which is why so much effort is expended on ‘tweaking’
sound quality, with special cables, fuses, interconnects etc. However, none of these tweaks can
alter the fact that 70 per cent of the final sound of your system is governed by your room
acoustics!
Since Lyngdorf’s core philosophy is ‘Development based on facts instead of feelings’ we wanted
to develop a product that offered something that nobody else in the industry offered: a
genuine solution to the main problem in hi-fi systems… room acoustics.
The Lyngdorf Audio TDAI-2200 is a fully-digital amplifier based on the new Millennium
platform. However, the TDAI-2200 is much more than an amplifier: it is a complete digital
signal processing control centre, designed to be the heart of an advanced audio system
that can encompass controlling and powering loudspeakers with or without built-in filters.
The compact design of the TDAI-2200 features a highly efficient fully-digital PWM amplifier
capable of driving extremely difficult loads. Integrated within it is a native DSP section which
can be controlled by Lyngdorf Audio DSP software. Equalization and correction options for
speaker position and delay, combined with extreme versatility when it comes to processing,
make this amplifier completely unique in today’s audiophile sector.
If you choose the RoomPerfect™ option for TDAI-2200 the ‘manual’ DSP adjustments are
‘replaced’ by state-of-the-art room correction – fully automated and thus granting you the best
possible result – always!
This product replaces – simultaneously - a D/A converter, equalizer, pre-amplifier and a power
amplifier, requiring only a CD transport as a source. This amplifier is also chock-full of
remarkable innovations such as a power supply which can be regulated to attenuate the signal
with the volume control setting. This can be compared to an engine transmission in a car
where the engine operates at its maximum performance at any speed by the expedient of
changing gear.
The TDAI-2200 can even be equipped with a state-of-the-art A/D conversion module allowing
it to interface with analog sources…
