Musicbook COMBO

WHY A MUSICBOOK COMBO?

Because it’s the first all-in-one music player from LINDEMANN? Or the logical continuation of the highly successful Musicbook series? Either way: the COMBO is fully equipped, features a unique design, and carries truly audiophile DNA. It's the essence of 30 years of experience in amplifier and digital source development – a true all-rounder and the new heart of your hi-fi system for years to come!

THE HEART OF YOUR SYSTEM

The Musicbook COMBO combines our award-winning Musicbook SOURCE II with the power amp technology of the Musicbook POWER II. With a wide range of features and connection options, a dream comes true: simply connect your speakers – and enjoy music in its purest form!

Whether streaming services, music servers, CDs or LPs – nearly every source is supported and easily controlled via the LINDEMANN app. And headphone lovers will also get their money’s worth. To top it all off, the COMBO includes an excellent MM phono input for your turntable!

EXCEPTIONAL ENGINEERING

The circuit design of the Musicbook COMBO is fully optimized for outstanding sound quality. At its heart is one of the finest DAC chips available – the AK4493 from Japanese digital specialist AKM.

The integrated phono MM preamp offers wonderfully musical playback and is identical to the highly acclaimed Limetree PHONO II. The headphone amplifier also delivers top-tier sound quality with ample output power, even for demanding headphones. The power amplifier is technically identical to the Musicbook POWER II, offering control and audiophile performance that far exceed its price class.

SOUND, SOUND, SOUND

The Musicbook COMBO also uses the re-sampling process known from the Musicbook SOURCE II, in which all digital input signals are converted to high-resolution 1-bit signals (DSD256) via re-sampling.

With 256 times the resolution of a CD, the conversion to analog is carried out purely through analog filtering – without digital filters or signal processors.

The result of this “deconstruction” of the DAC is a completely transparent musical signal: maximum resolution, brilliant tone colors, unlimited dynamics, and a uniquely “real” atmosphere reminiscent of the best analog playback!
