Lindemann Audio Limetree Bridge II Network Adaptor

 

The Limetree Bridge by Lindemann Audio was a high-quality network adapter designed to digitally transfer music from streaming services and local storage media at studio master quality to existing DACs or other devices with digital inputs. The new Bridge II improves upon the original by updating the hardware and adding features such as an adjustable sample-rate limit.

 

What Lindemann say

 

LINDEMANN remains true to itself – and relies on a consistent evolution. As we all know, for our “mastermind“ Norbert Lindemann nothing is so good that it can’t be further improved upon. So following the PHONO II, our two Limetree network players NETWORK and BRIDGE also got updated.

Above all, the second generation of the Limetree BRIDGE and NETWORK network players is now equipped with new and better hardware. The Limetree BRIDGE II has been optimized, the NETWORK II has been revised in every respect, i.e. regarding features, ease of use, and sound (a list of the new features can be found below). Deliveries of the two revised models will start from early May 2021.

Please note: even the “old“ versions will remain outstanding devices in their price range! Future improvements to the software, i.e. the app and firmware (like e.g. new streaming services) will of course be applied equally to both generations. Upgrades are impractical.

 

Altered functions:

  • The sample-rate limit of the output is adjustable in three steps: 48 kHz / 96 kHz / 192 kHz.
  • Two re-sampling modes: Native and Up-sampling. With Native the input sample-rate is not changed or (depending on the selected maximum sample-rate) divided by 2 or 4. With Up-sampling the input sample-rate is upscaled to the highest possible value, i.e. multiplied by 1, 2 or 4.
  • The support of DSD data has been ceased. If a conversion of DSD files into PCM is wanted, it should be done already using the playback software, e.g. Roon, Audirvana, J.River and others.

 

The Limetree BRIDGE is a high-quality network adapter designed to transfer music from streaming services and local storage media digitally in studio master quality to existing D/A converters or other devices with digital inputs. This makes it possible to upgrade an existing hi-fi system with streaming for little money.

For this purpose, the Limetree BRIDGE is simply connected with the network by means of a LAN cable or via WLAN. It has also a USB port for connecting hard disks or USB storage media. There is an optical and coaxial digital output. A professional studio engineering sample rate converter makes sure that all streamed formats can be played back on an existing converter without major losses in sound quality.

 

Features

The LINDEMANN streaming platform offers a studio master grade reproduction. Either through a LAN connection or wireless via WLAN. Due to WPS, integrating the device into your existing system is just a breeze. Moreover, the ARM core high-performance processor and the web update feature make the platform absolutely future-proof.

The digital outputs of the BRIDGE can be perfectly adapted to the input specifications of the respective converter. In the course of this, the digital input signals are modified by a high-class studio engineering sample rate converter in such a way that all resolutions of the streaming platform can be played back without sound losses.

The LINDEMANN app is available for Android and iOS, both for smartphones and tablets. The album-oriented programming convinces by fluent browsing and an easy, intuitive operation. Our definitive highlight.
The Limetree NETWORK offers a Bluetooth function which enables a wireless music playback e.g. from smartphones or tablets. At the same time the A2DP Bluetooth audio transmission protocol ensures the very best sound quality.

The Limetree BRIDGE can play back music from USB storage media such as USB sticks or harddisks. For this purpose the device is equipped with a USB host port on the back.

 

The Lindemann app

The Limetree NETWORK is controlled almost exclusively via the newly designed Lindemann app which is available both for Android and iOS. Apart from the smartphone version, there is also a proprietary tablet version in landscape mode. The app allows fluent, intuitive browsing and searching. A new feature is the simultaneous display of browse view and play view. In addition, you can also call up your current play queue. The album-oriented programming allows the playback of a complete album with just one push of a button!

In addition, the specially integrated multi-room function also allows you to run several streamers in different rooms separately or coupled. The range of streaming services is diversified, with a clear focus on studio master quality and hi-fi subscriptions. Customers may choose between TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, HighResAudio and Spotify. Through Lindemann's partner airable you will also get access to thousands of podcasts and radio stations worldwide.
