Lindemann Audio Embraces DSD
German manufacturer with a home-ground advantage, Lindemann Audio, has just announced in time for Munich's High End show in May, their Musicbook range has been revised to be DSD capable.
According to Lindemann, “DSD is the new analogue!”. Known as specialists for excellent digital source, the announcement says both the Musicbook:10 and Musicbook:15 DACs, and Musicbook:20 and Musicbook:25 streamers have been revised quite significantly. The revisions mark the launch of their new Musicbook: range.
Musicbook:DSD features resampling of all digital source data (regardless of type of input) to DSD 256.
The sonic gain of the new converter architecture is dramatic: greater dynamics, more vivid timbres and a new, totally “life-like” atmosphere which closely resembles an analogue production (with far better resolution).
Musicbook:DSD also gains the addition of Bluetooth APTX and a USB Audio port capable of up to 384kHz and DSD 256 across all models.
The good news for existing Musicbook: models, the Musicbook:DSD will replace the previous models, however Lindemann is offering a full hardware upgrade to the new Musicbook:DSD version. It's not clear what costs are involved for this process, however firmware updates will be distributed online, free of charge.
Australian distributor of Lindemann Audio, Audio Magic, will be demonstrating the new Musicbook:DSD at the 2016 International HiFi Show, Melbourne, July 1st-3rd.
Local pricing has not yet been confirmed.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
