And the icing on the cake is the excellent phono MM input for turntables!
The Musicbook COMBO is our distillate from 30 years of experience in the development of amplifiers and digital sources. A true all-rounder and the new heart of your hifi system for many years to come.
SUBLIME QUALITY.
Features
The LINDEMANN streaming platform offers music playback from the internet in studio master quality with 24 bit resolution and a max. sampling rate of 384 kHz. And all that even wireless via wifi. Thanks to WPS the connection with the router is a breeze. An ARM-core high-performance processor and the web update feature make this platform absolutely future-proof.
The LINDEMANN app is available for both Android and iOS, for smartphones as well as tablets in landscape mode. The album-oriented programming convinces by fluid browsing and a simple, intuitive operation. Via the app you can also control all the functions and settings of the Musicbook COMBO.
Technologically the Musicbook COMBO has still another ace up its sleeve: by converting all digital signals into the 1-bit DSD format (using an ultra precise master clock), a sound quality is achieved with digitally stored music that is clearly audibly more open and more natural than with conventional D/A converters. This all new approach will also give "normal" recordings in CD quality an exceptionally good sound.
Via USB the Musicbook COMBO supports the connection of external CD-ROM drives and mutates into a high-end CD player without great effort or costs! After linking the drive it is automatically recognized and the content of the CD displayed on the LINDEMANN app. The CD can then be played back via the app or with the remote control.
The headphone amplifier of the Musicbook COMBO has a powerful output stage able to drive headphones of 16 – 200 ohms impedance. The built-in amplifier is metrologically and soundwise of the very highest quality. Thus you can listen to your music all by yourself - and with no compromises!
The Bluetooth function of the Musicbook COMBO enables direct wireless music playback from smartphones or tablets (without a network). Here the A2DP Bluetooth audio transfer protocol guarantees ultimate sound quality.
The integrated power amplifier delivers power and control just like transparency and tonal timbres. An unbeatable combination with the right loudspeakers.
As to the circuitry, the phono MM preamp of the Musicbook COMBO is identical to our Limetree PHONO and offers an exceptionally good record sound with a high fun factor.
A special highlight is the multi-room feature which allows to run several streaming devices in different rooms simultaneously or individually. Convenient controlling is provided by the LINDEMANN app.
Two analog line inputs allow to connect analog sources like phono amplifier, CD player, tuner or tape recorder.
The IR remote control, which is included in the delivery, allows not only to set the volume level, but also to navigate through playlists or on a CD.
SEAMLESS PERFORMANCE.
Operation
Use the newly developed LINDEMANN app to conveniently control the Musicbook COMBO. This is available for both Android and iOS, for tablets also in the particularly clear landscape mode. The app offers an easy to understand, intuitive control of the different sources and a comprehensive menu for the device settings. That way operating the Musicbook becomes a breeze!
In addition, the integrated multi-room function allows to run several LINDEMANN streamers in different rooms simultaneously or individually.
And if you still want to use the app of your present streaming provider? Owing to the support of services such as Roon, Spotify Connect and Tidal Connect this is no longer a problem. The Musicbook COMBO will react just as reliably to your inputs and commands.
And when your smartphone happens to be out of sight: with the included remote control or the multi-function jog wheel you always have the essential functions of the Musicbook under control.
