Millennium Mk IV
Hi-Fi Choice (Alvin Gold)

"There is nothing manipulated in the way it sounds, or that points to any distortion signature we could identify. Tonally, it
isn't warm or cold, it just is. Better still, this is one of the most seamless amplifiers we have ever encountered for its
consistency across a broad volume envelope"

"If there is a single word that could be used to encapsulate the Millennium MkIV's ability, it would have to be discipline. No matter what is playing, it sounds consistent, finely detailed and, above all, as tight as a drum."

"This is an exceptional amplifier, which is authoritative and thoroughly musical in practice. It's excellent with high resolution speakers for extended listening and this is the first digital amplifier for which we've been able to make this claim.”

Millennium Mk IV
Audiodrom, Slovakian republic (Martin Justan)

"I can say right here that the first listening experiences have completely blown me away."

".. the amplifier cherished every single detail to leave you fascinated and mesmerized."

"To make it absolutely clear I will repeat it once more: the Millennium is THE MOST TRANSPARENT piece of equipment I've had to date and anything else sounds noisy and veiled in comparison. There is so much natural detail and unlimited resolution that you can start to play your CD collection again and again to explore information that had been hidden from you before."

"This is the first amplifier that aligns hyper detail with pure enjoyment and as such it should be cherished."

"The Lyngdorf Millennium is a truly transparent, natural and dynamic amplifier and definitely one of the best ones ever produced.”

"So, there you are. A set-up in your home that you have been stalking the distributor over for more than a half year. You've heard numerous rumors about the system. Usually the real experience is then more down to earth than you're led to believe. Not in this case, this was so much better then anticipated. I can imagine that someone owning a full set-up as described becomes extremely happy. So happy that he tends to forget everything else."

Audio, Germany

"In a direct comparison the room-correction showed an almost unbelievable precision and energy. Not only did the sound image gain in speed, transparency and clarity: the reproduction of vocals, beforehand diffuse, immediately became 'sharp'."

"With room-correction in bypass, the DPA-1 presented itself as a high-precision preamplifier, as well as a neutral D/A converter. A true storm of enthusiasm arose when we the DPA-1 was fed with a full-resolution 96/24 digital signal, straight from a network player. The DPA-1 is the preamp for the 21-st century: it's digital inputs open the system for music coming from DVB-Radio, network and PC sources.”

AudioMagazine, Russia

"Undoubtedly, this (DPA-1 Digital Pre Amplifier) is a revolutionary device in its domain. For the absolute majority of music lovers this pre-amplifier can be the base of the system, irreproachable in its flexibility and completion and with its technology they will have the inevitable problems with room acoustics eliminated."

“I though that my system did a pretty good job of it until I heard it with the RP-1 engaged. For the first time, everything fell into place. I heard notes I had not heard before.”

“When you consider that I have over $5,000 worth of room treatments and that I could have avoided buying them, and can now actually consider removing them, the $3,800 cost of the RP-1 is a bargain. In fact, I think it’s fair to say that the Lyngdorf RP-1 is the most cost-effective piece of audio hardware that I’ve personally tried.”

“Never before has a single component even been close to giving such a substantial improvement to the sound of my audio system as the RP-1.”

January 2008
DPA-1
HIGHfidelity, Denmark

"Those details, typically in the low-frequency range, which would otherwise be masked by room resonances, suddenly become highly detailed and well defined, and you simply hear what is happening. The latter is probably the most accurate description - everything is made available and presented in a previously unheard way. This fact makes RoomPerfect - and room correction in general - worth every penny.
As a neutral provider of music, with and without RoomPerfect, DPA-1 ranks among the world's best. I do not recall having heard any control amplifier with so little sound of its own..."

And the verdict is an unconditional recommendation:
"I will not hesitate to recommend that you give the Lyngdorf DPA-1 an exhaustive audition. Without RoomPerfect, Lyngdorf has created an instrument, which is an excellent, neutral music provider, and without doubt ranks among the absolutely best control amps in the world - regardless of price. With RoomPerfect, you acquire the potential for a further improvement - provided that your listening room needs correction. However, my point is that most people will experience a considerable improvement, and when the system furthermore is so easy to operate as the DPA-1, an optimum boost of the attainable reproduction quality is practically guaranteed."

Overall conclusion:
“Revolutionary in the way it works, the Lyngdorf RP-1 is the best of today’s acoustical room correction.  This processor makes it possible to reach a very high quality level of sound reproduction in less than favourable acoustical environments. It is capable of completely changing an audio system, the RP-1 is an magnificent product which you can only with great difficulty send back after testing. If you try it you buy it!”

"Best Preamplifier/Processor

Yes, the DPA-1 is a very good stereo preamplifier, but what we want to emphasize is its Room Perfect exclusive acoustic correction system. When many devices (preamps, processors and AV receivers) feature automatic calibration systems, and some also solutions for acoustic correction, the Room Perfect takes indisputable leader position in this field. Not only because it really manages to correct the imperfections of our living rooms, but because it keeps the personality of the loudspeakers nearly intact. We came across the Room Perfect with the Lyngdorf TDA 2200 and yet at that time, we asked for a solution like the DPA-1 represents today. It can look expensive, but for the moment it is the only stereo preamplifier that as well as working perfect, includes an intelligent and unique acoustic correction that deserves our complete attention.

A product that we absolutely recommend for its significance, that undoubtedly, deserves the award it has received."

STEROPLAY, Germany

STEREOPLAY of Germany had an almost complete Lyngdorf system: DPA-1, SDA-2175 and CD-1 for review, issued in October 2007. In the test team's own words the result was nothing less than “sensational”.

“Now the DPA-1 was sent into action….With RoomPerfect calibration it was like the sun went op (compared to not using RoomPerfect). It was as if the whole sound stage had settled perfectly: It turned fabulously three-dimensional, the subwoofers suddenly integrated seamlessly into the whole, and the combined system had a dynamic capability and effortlessness that was really convincing and at times even astonishing.”

“DPA-1 is a high-end processor with pre-amplifier features and can also operate as a two-way active crossover. The DPA-1 has the easy-to-use RoomPerfect, which in rooms with acoustical problems shows sensational results. An unbelievably good solution!”

"The Lyngdorf system was adept at preserving the music's sense of flow as well as scale. It sounded big when the music demanded it, ... smooth and velvety ... and delightfully intimate."

"Throughout all of this I noticed that the amps were startlingly quiet. Perhaps as a tube geek I have grown to account for a bit of tube noise and this undoubtedly highlighted the total absence of noise from the system. Just dead quiet in that eerie and noticeable way. I also noticed a continuing lack of electronic glare and haze during the playback no matter what the source was. The system offered a good deal of transparency which always allowed the finer, inner details of the music to come forward. The system was overall engaging, crystal clear in delivery and dynamic but never harsh and offensive. "

"When you consider the cost of high quality and effective room treatments and the reduced need for any of it, then the Lyngdorf value certainly does increase."

"If you are leaning towards a high-end ’all one manufacture’ system that integrates with most any room, looks the part and delivers music as good as any of its direct competitors, then you may want to take a good long listen to this system. "

"I could have easily lived with this system for a good long time. For me, the consummate tube guy, to say that about a fully digital system is saying a lot."

"With my hand on my heart: the Lyngdorf (TDAI2200) amplifier is brutally good. I'm tended to make a special compliment: One doesn't hear it. As a matter of fact, it plays absolutely neutral, controlled and clean, revealing details beautifully whilst perfectly pairing neutral reproduction to high musicality."

"Nothing can be found or heard that points to a sterile sound or lack of character."

"This is one unbelievably flexible amplifier, that offers a convincing base for demanding listeners and leaves all doors open for handymen and those eager to experiment.”

"The Lyngdorf TDAI 2200 delivers a level of ergonomic control and sonic subtlety that makes it unique among digital or analog integrated amplifiers. The TDAI 2200 reveals inner detail with as much grace and verisimilitude as anything I've heard. It renders musical detail so you don't have to expend excess mental energy to listen into a mix, but the information isn't presented in a sterile or excessively matter-of-fact way. After only a couple of hours with the Lyngdorf TDAI 2200, you, too, will discover the joys of RoomPerfect are hard to deny and difficult to live without."

“Lyngdorf gives you a taste of the sound of the future with the RoomPerfect system – a music system that really plays in tune with the listening room and, under optimum conditions, can match twice as expensive systems.”

“The dipole loudspeakers DP-1 have a quite special ability to disappear within the sound stage and leave a crystal clear midrange that brings out even minute details in the sound mix. The tweeter belongs to the fine-grained variety that does not stand out too much, unless required to, and it never becomes unpleasant to listen to.”

“Never before have I experienced such a light and fast, but still utterly solid and powerful bass in my living room as with the room corrected BW-1 subwoofers. The bass range is totally free of booms, resonances and other undesired effects that can mask the tones from a double bass and other instruments. And they go deep enough to reproduce the lowest tones from a church organ without problems.”

"Lyngdorf has, in the TDAI 2200, an integrated amplifier which is much more than this. Beyond the technical prodigy inherent to the digital amplification, the room correction module gives it a versatility difficult to equal, and which will help many audiophiles to solve problems difficult to handle in other ways, at least without all the aesthetic inconvenience of room acoustic treatment.

This way I may state, without fear of being wrong, that beyond all its sonic qualities, the TDAI has a feminine acceptance factor extremely high, concentrating so many qualities that appeal to aesthetics: it
sounds really well, has a beautiful design, an irreproachable construction, and even more, it makes a system sound very well in a room without the need to place speakers in inconvenient places, or to glue strange and unpleasant stuff on the walls. What more could we want?"

"This might sound more than slightly crazy, but even if we were unsure of the TDA 2200's basic sound, it would still be on our shortlist.
The digital processing is so seamless and works so well that it's hard not to be impressed. Yes, the closer you get to traditional audiophile perfection in the system and the room, the less RoomPerfect seems to affect the sound, but this is a good thing - it doesn't intrude on systems where its presence is not vital, but is a welcome bonus to those who need it."

In the battle between digital and analogue in the amplifier league, the TDA 2200 puts 1-0 on the scoreboard, heat generating class-A amplifiers are banned to the attic."

“The SDA-2175 revealed itself as an enormously powerful amplifier, easily capable of pushing the reference speakers to the limits of their dynamic range.”

“It is as made in heaven for powering passive subwoofers in a RoomPerfect controlled Lyngdorf system.”

SDA 2175
Hifi & Musik, Sweden

The Lyngdorf SDA-2175 is being compared to four other Scandinavian amplifiers and outperforms up to three times more expensive competitors, like Densen B330 and Primare A30.2!

“Using the Lyngdorf is like connecting the loudspeakers directly to the wall outlet!  The sound is crystal clear and pure, with an immaculate transient power and precision in details. It never sounds edgy or “digital” as we have so often experienced with other digital amplifiers. Instead the presentation of music is soft and lively in a most remarkable and so to say very self-assured fashion that makes other amplifiers sound diffuse and dull.

Conclusion of the group test:
“A really happy surprise – especially price wise – was the Lyngdorf SDA-2175. A more dynamic, crystal clear and finely chiselled sound quality will be difficult to find! The bass power and precision alone will be worth the full price of the amplifier!”

“It didn’t take long to realise the SDA-2175 was masterful with classical music, an absolute first choice for anyone upset by the unhappy coupling of violin and transistor. Kettle drums sounded convincingly large and sonorous, if not thunderous. There was a nice push from the brass section of the Philharmonia, and I noticed the same as massed violins of the London Symphony Orchestra reached a crescendo with Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No2.The amplifier has real midband shove; it’s very lively and say: I felt it was smooth, truthfully dynamic and possessed an evenness that was both unusual yet also very relaxing.”

"The Lyngdorf CD-1 is true high-end player without the high-end price or the prima donna sensibilities."

"Better still, that Intersample Clipping Correction makes 'Wild Orchid' by the White Stripes sound fan-bloody-tastic, and it's the first player that makes me want to turn 'Knights of Cydonia' by Muse 'up' instead of 'down'. That it does this without compromising more audiophile recordings in the process might just make it one of the best players money can buy, irrespective of price.”

“Lyngdorf is to be congratulated for the work done, for the CD-1 is an excellent CD player, capable of competing with products with far superior price tags. Factors like dynamics, clarity and detail make this listening experience addictive, with the advantage that this is a harmless addiction. The asked price is inferior to the real value of the product, considering that the “real value” comes from what the product can produce and present in the form of music.

“The dipole loudspeakers DP-1 have a quite special ability to disappear within the sound stage and leave a crystal clear midrange that brings out even minute details in the sound mix. The tweeter belongs to the fine-grained variety that does not stand out too much, unless required to, and it never becomes unpleasant to listen to.”

“Never before have I experienced such a light and fast, but still utterly solid and powerful bass in my living room as with the room corrected BW-1 subwoofers. The bass range is totally free of booms, resonances and other undesired effects that can mask the tones from a double bass and other instruments. And they go deep enough to reproduce the lowest tones from a church organ without problems.”
