Lindemann Musicbook Combo All-In-One Music Player

 

Introducing the Lindemann Musicbook Combo All-In-One Music Player – the pinnacle of audio engineering and design, representing the culmination of Lindemann's 30 years of expertise in amplifier and digital source development. If you're seeking an unparalleled audio experience, look no further.

The Musicbook Combo seamlessly combines the acclaimed streaming platform of the Musicbook Source with the cutting-edge power amp technology of the Musicbook Power, creating an all-in-one solution that transcends expectations. Designed with audiophiles in mind, it offers a plethora of features and connectivity options to fulfil your musical desires.

Whether you prefer streaming from online services, accessing your music server, playing CDs, or indulging in the warmth of vinyl, the Musicbook Combo accommodates virtually every playback source with ease. Its intuitive app interface ensures effortless control over your listening experience, allowing you to navigate through your music library with fluidity and simplicity.

For those who appreciate the intimacy of headphone listening, the built-in headphone amp sets new standards in quality, delivering a rich and immersive audio experience without compromise. Additionally, the inclusion of a phono MM input ensures that vinyl enthusiasts can enjoy their records with exceptional fidelity.

One of the standout features of the Musicbook Combo is its DSD resampling technology, which elevates digital music playback to unprecedented levels of clarity and naturalness. By converting digital signals into the 1-bit DSD format with an ultra-precise master clock, this innovative approach breathes new life into your music collection, revealing nuances and subtleties previously unheard.

The Musicbook Combo isn't just a standalone device – it's the heart of your hi-fi system, promising years of musical enjoyment. With its integrated power amplifier, multi-room capability, and support for a variety of streaming services, it offers versatility without compromise.

In terms of technology, the Musicbook Combo is second to none. Featuring the AK4493 digital-to-analog converter from AKM, it delivers unparalleled detail, natural timbres, and perfect timing, ensuring a truly immersive listening experience. The inclusion of DSD re-sampling further enhances the audio quality, resulting in a sound that is transparent, dynamic, and remarkably lifelike.

Connection overview

Lindemann Musicbook connectionsOperation

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.

 

Technology

The circuitry of the Musicbook COMBO has been optimised – around the powerful streaming platform – for ultimate sound properties.

In the digital-analog converter we use one of best sounding converter blocks ever, the AK4493 from Japanese digital specialist AKM. Musically, this module convinces by an enormous wealth of detail, natural timbres and a perfect timing. Prior to the actual conversion, all digital input signals are passed through an ultra precise re-sampling process using an MEMS femto clock. The thus created data are completely free from clock jitter: the fundamental requirement for perfect sound with digital music! A further improvement comes with the option of converting the digital data into a 1-bit signal (DSD). Musically speaking, this operation mode is the icing on the cake and opens up a whole new dimension with the room imaging and high-frequency playback.

The built-in phono MM preamp offers an exceptionally musical reproduction and is identical in design to the highly acclaimed Limetree Phono. The headphone amplifier of the Musicbook also delivers top sound quality and has sufficient output power to drive even demanding headphones. Technically the power amp section of the Musicbook COMBO is identical to the Musicbook POWER. Control and audiophile sound quality go well beyond the price range.

 

DSD-Re-Sampling

Critical for the sound of a digital component is, above all, the digital/analog converter. LINDEMANN therefore uses also the re-sampling process in the Musicbook COMBO which has become known from the Musicbook Source.

In the DSD mode all digital input signals – irrespective of the source – are converted into a high-resolution 1-bit signal (DSD 256) by means of a re-sampling process based on delta-sigma conversion. The resolution is 256 times higher than with the CD. By simple filtering this signal is converted in the converter module directly into an analog signal – without any influence from digital filters or a digital volume control. Digital signal processors (DSP) and their negative sound effects are completely waived. Filtering and volume control take place in the analog domain exclusively. The music signal gained by this “deconstruction“ of the converter is perfectly transparent: with ultimate resolution, brilliant timbres, unrestricted dynamics and a new, absolutely "realistic" atmosphere which reminds of analog reproduction!
