MODELS
COMBO
The first member of our new product family is an all-in-one device that combines studio-master-quality streaming and audiophile perfection in a single housing. Proudly “Made in Germany,” it sets new standards in technical precision, minimalist elegance, and exceptional sound. Simply connect your speakers and enjoy!
A Concept That Excites!
The Woodnote COMBO combines a high-resolution streaming processor with an innovative Power-DAC. Thanks to its ultra-short signal path, it delivers impressive sound quality and provides stable 50W at 4 Ohms—ideal for high-efficiency speakers, small floor-standing models, and bookshelf speakers like the MOVE mini.
Unmatched Versatility:
The COMBO supports radio, podcasts, streaming services, UPnP/DLNA, CDs (with an external drive), TV connections via HDMI, and functions as both a headphone amplifier and a powerful power amplifier. Paired with our new MOVE mini desktop speaker, it delivers true high-end audio in a compact space!
Finest Technology:
Enjoy streaming in the highest studio quality, supported by a leading D/A converter concept with DSD Re-Sampling. A meticulously designed four-layer PCB layout and powerful Class A-D amplifiers complete the package.
SOLO
Our latest streaming DAC sets a new benchmark for audiophile quality. It offers music enthusiasts not only an extensive list of features but, above all, exceptional sound quality.
Studio-Quality Streaming: The SOLO features an unrivaled D/A converter concept with DSD Re-Sampling, a user-friendly and stable app, and an ultra-linear power supply for all analog circuit components powered by an R-core transformer. This enables a playback quality unmatched in its class.
Thoughtful Design: The meticulous layout and strict separation of digital and analog technology are a hallmark of Lindemann. Count on pure, unadulterated listening pleasure!
Less is more! The SOLO is a milestone for lovers of high-quality music playback. Consistently short signal paths and exceptional circuit details "Made by LINDEMANN" open up a new world of sound: incredibly relaxing, detailed, colorful, and completely free of digital artifacts.
HIGHLIGHTS
HIGHLIGHTS
- Proven, highly stable streaming platform with high-resolution playback up to 384 kHz / 24bit and native DSD up to 256.
- Wide range of streaming services with studio master quality.
- Clear and user-friendly app with a variety of features.
- Premium aluminum housing in a retro-future design.
- Digital inputs and outputs, HDMI connection for TVs, and a high-quality headphone output.
- Extremely low power consumption: 8W during headphone operation, less than 20W at room volume.
- Development, production, and app design: Made in Germany.
- Consistently low-interference circuit design: complete separation of digital and analog sections, fully balanced circuit layout, low-noise linear voltage regulators. Avoidance of switching regulators and interference sources such as large displays.
- Two-stage converter design: synchronous re-sampling and delta-sigma conversion into a 1-bit signal (DSD) in the digital domain. Volume control and output filtering are performed within the DAC module in the analog domain. DSD signal filtering in the analog domain with a 100 kHz bandwidth.
- Complete omission of digital oversampling filters during playback.
- Proven, highly stable streaming platform with high-resolution playback up to 384 kHz / 24-bit and native DSD up to 256.
- Wide range of streaming services with studio master resolution.
- Clear, easy-to-use app with a variety of features.
- Premium aluminum housing in a retro-future design.
- Two-stage D/A converter design: Femto-clock-based FIFO re-sampling followed by Delta-Sigma conversion into a 1-bit signal. Potential sound distortions caused by "clock jitter" are eliminated at this stage. The 1-bit signal is then converted in the actual converter module, where the analog signal is output. The result is significantly reduced high-frequency noise and greatly improved high-frequency reproduction.
- Consistent avoidance of sound-distorting DSPs and digital filtering (IIR and FIR filters). Purely analog signal filtering at 100 kHz.
- Extremely low-noise, linear power supply (LPS) with a R-core transformer that effectively suppresses interference from the power grid. Exclusively ultra-low-noise linear voltage regulators. Complete avoidance of switching regulators (DC/DC converters) – no high-frequency disturbances.
- Audiophile-grade components and circuit design: Four-layer PCB with strict separation of digital and analog sections, fully balanced signal paths with the outstanding AK4493S DAC chip, and fully balanced filter output stages featuring the OPA1637.
- A truly excellent-sounding headphone output!
