WHY A WOODNOTE COMBO?

The Woodnote COMBO is more than just an all-in-one system – it’s a statement. Combining a high-resolution streaming processor with a power DAC, it brings together cutting-edge technology and audiophile perfection. The result? Music in its purest form – unfiltered, vivid, and full of emotion.

With its proven and highly stable streaming platform, the Woodnote COMBO supports high-res playback up to 384 kHz / 24-bit and native DSD up to 256. A wide range of studio-quality streaming services ensures maximum versatility. The intuitive and easy-to-use app and the high-grade aluminium housing in retro-futuristic design complete the package perfectly.

MAGIC FOR ANY SYSTEM

The Woodnote COMBO is more than just tech – it’s the perfect blend of innovation and emotion, a centerpiece for audiophile dreams. Featuring state-of-the-art streaming, seamless LAN or Wi-Fi connectivity, and versatile connections – including HDMI, USB, and an excellent headphone output – it’s a true all-rounder. With the option to connect an external CD drive, it also becomes an outstanding CD player. But the true secret of the COMBO lies in its ability to harmonize cutting-edge engineering with real musicality.

DSD RESAMPLING

As the only manufacturer so far, we rely on an innovative two-stage converter design we call the de-constructed DAC. In the digital domain, synchronous re-sampling and delta-sigma conversion create a highly precise 1-bit (DSD) signal. In the analog domain, the DAC handles volume control and filters the DSD signal with an impressive 100 kHz bandwidth. This unique concept guarantees completely natural and unaltered musical reproduction.

SYSTEM THINKING

The Woodnote COMBO delivers a solid 50 watts into 4 ohms and pairs beautifully with speakers and bookshelf models from many manufacturers – especially those with high efficiency. A true sonic highlight, however, is the combination with our MOVE and especially MOVE mini loudspeakers, which have already caused quite a stir at various shows. Together, they form a perfect team for exceptional sound colors, impressive dynamics, and total transparency.

HiFi + / August 2025

"... this is the only HDMI ARC input on the market that is converted to DSD, and the result is intriguingly different from pretty much any other connection of this type I have tested."

MOVE
WHY MOVE? Because this speaker moves you – not just emotionally, but conceptually. It challenges everything we thought we knew about the perfect loudspeaker. The MOVE is different. And yet absolutely time-coherent. It will amaze you every single day! It’s no secret: LINDEMANN has been building high-end network players with exceptional sound for years. Now we proudly present the MOVE – a monitor speaker that’s far more than just an addition to our portfolio. MOVE represents a radically new approach. A true rethink of the loudspeaker concept. We re-evaluated every detail and developed a completely new design for high-resolution music playback. A speaker that moves you – highly refined, detailed, natural. Or simply: just right. CONCEPT Unlike conventional speakers, the MOVE is a point source design built around a full-range driver. The entire frequency spectrum is reproduced by a single membrane – completely coherent, without a loss-prone crossover. The voice coil is essentially connected directly to the amplifier output. A super tweeter extends the upper frequency range from 10 kHz to 36 kHz, delivering extraordinary transparency – especially with high-resolution recordings. INNER VALUES The full-range driver in the MOVE is engineered down to the finest detail for a completely lossless reproduction of the amplifier signal. The long-excursion voice coil is centered solely by a newly developed rubber surround, eliminating the need for a traditional centering spider. Even the smallest nuances of the amplifier can fully unfold. One of the key design focuses was energy storage in the cabinet material. The result: a housing made from high-density fiberboard with just 12 mm wall thickness and minimal energy retention. The amplifier signal is converted directly into sound – delivering a particularly clear, energetic playback with excellent bass performance. SYSTEM THINKING The MOVE is the perfect match for our high-resolution network players – whether the MUSICBOOK Combo or the new WOODNOTE Combo. In combination with our active bass extension GROOVE, it forms a fully active reference-class speaker system with bass response down to 25 Hz. The perfect source for this setup? The MUSICBOOK SOURCE or the WOODNOTE SOLO. These flexible combinations allow you to create your ideal setup – for an unparalleled listening experience and pure musical enjoyment.
MOVE mini
WHY MOVE mini? The MOVE mini is the award-winning “little sister” of the MOVE – sharing the same premium concept but in a more compact form. Thanks to its size, it’s ideal for use as a desktop monitor or bookshelf speaker. It also makes a brilliant audiophile alternative to conventional soundbars. The MOVE mini is designed for discerning listeners – not for volume junkies or party lovers. Its strengths lie in exceptional resolution at room volume, rich tonal color, and true musicality. The balance and especially the resolution of the MOVE mini are a clear statement. Not just at this price point! SOUND. SPOT ON. Just like its big “sister” MOVE, the MOVE mini is a point source loudspeaker based on a full-range driver. A single voice coil and diaphragm cover the entire audible range – supported by a super tweeter from 10 kHz upwards for maximum transparency and air. Without a classic crossover, using only a passive frequency response correction – for a homogeneous, natural sound, even in nearfield listening. REDUCED TO THE MAX. The MOVE mini features a high-precision full-range driver with flat diaphragm geometry, mono suspension and ultra-low moving mass – for direct, detailed, and distortion-free sound. The cabinet is made of a high-density fiber composite and uses only 9 mm wall thickness. Thanks to minimal energy storage, it delivers outstanding clarity in the midrange and impressive low-end performance. SYSTEM THINKING. The MOVE mini is the perfect speaker for music lovers with the highest expectations in sound quality. In combination with our new network player Woodnote COMBO, it creates a system that leaves nothing to be desired. A truly minimalist setup for maximum listening pleasure. Thanks to its versatility, the MOVE mini also performs brilliantly with virtually any other audio source – delivering an exceptional sound experience and pure musical enjoyment!
