Compact and versatile: that’s the best way to summarize the new Lindemann Woodnote Combo streaming amplifier.
If you don’t have much space or simply don’t want to dedicate too much room to a hi-fi setup, compact all-in-one systems are a great solution. The new Lindemann Woodnote Combo fits neatly into that category. It’s a streamer, DAC, and power amplifier all in one, housed in compact dimensions with a retro look for fans of vintage aesthetics. One standout feature, according to the German manufacturer, is the Power-DAC, designed to ensure very short signal paths. The Woodnote Combo delivers up to 2 x 50 watts of output power into four ohms.
HDMI eARC Support
The Lindemann Woodnote Combo offers extensive streaming options, supporting popular music streaming services like Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, and Spotify. In terms of DAC functionality, it handles PCM audio up to 24-bit/384 kHz and DSD up to DSD256. An interesting addition is the inclusion of an HDMI eARC input alongside the optical S/PDIF. This makes it an ideal companion for your TV, especially when paired with a set of compact bookshelf speakers.
Last but not least there is the price, for the Lindemann Woodnote Combo you’ll have to pay €2249.
