  1. My apologies ... didn't realize there's something akin to a certification/approval process. My intent was just to inform other forum members that the unit does support DSD playback without issues. The diagnostic information is provided below --------------------- Lyngdorf Audio A/S Lyngdorf Audio A/S at usb-ci_hdrc.1-1, high speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Stop Interface 2 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 2 Endpoint: 5 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400, 192000, 352800, 384000 Data packet interval: 125 usStatus: Unknown (status not available when device is not playing)Simple mixer control 'Lyngdorf Audio A/S',0 Capabilities: pvolume pswitch Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right Limits: Playback 0 - 32767 Mono: Front Left: Playback 32767 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] Front Right: Playback 32767 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] Simple mixer control 'Lyngdorf Audio A/S',1 Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Limits: Playback 0 - 32767 Mono: Playback 32767 [100%] [0.00dB] [on] --------------------- Sorry to hear HDMI implementation is more complicated than I suspected. Would have been another major selling point to differentiate an already great product, but I understand you need to focus resource in areas with best return. Thanks again for you're prompt responses here!
  2. Add the lyngdorf tdai 2170 to your list of devices that support native DSD. Mine seems to work best when set to DoP (which I don't quite understand ... need to do more homework). On another note, will the sonicorbiter support audio out via HDMI? I would think since it's a customized CuBox-i2 it would be a simple software configuration issue. Can this be done or does it perhaps already have that capability? If not, this would be an amazing option to add. It wouldn't have the limits of the Toslink, and would add hi-res options to some HT Processors and Receivers that don't have USB input. For example, I have a Cary Cinema 12 that has no USB input, but can handle hi res via it's HDMI. Instead I'm forced to use a USB to SPDIF Converter (Peachtree Audio X1 ... which does seem to have some issues with the Cary). Given the bandwidth in HDMI this should great alternative. Lyngdorf thinks enough of it to include HDMI inputs as an option. Also, these would more likely supported by most modern HT Receivers. If you could do that I'd have a great excuse to upgrade my lyngdorf's input to the microRendu, and I could demote the the sonicorbiter to the Cary!!! :-) Or better yet, offer your next version of the microRendu with either USB or HDMI out.
  3. First question is what software are you using to stream from your mac pro? The marantz will show up as an airplay end point (if you're using iTunes) or will also do DLNA so you really don't NEED anything to get it connected. Your two channel system is a different story. Downside of iTunes is you can't stream different things to different locations in the house. If you haven't already tried Roon I can't speak highly enough about it. IMHO it blows the competition away with it's interface and capabilities (optimized to deal with networked components, ability to stream bit perfect DSD, handling of any file type, etc.). The downside is you need Roon endpoints. There are plenty of reviews of it so just do a little research or try the demo version and see what you think. For endpoints I too would suggest the Microrendu for the two channel system and the Sonicorbitor for the HTS. The Sonicorbitor is half the price for 90% of the performance and it has a TOSLINK output that you can feed your AV-7005 and you can avoid the other components/cables. You may just start with one Sonicorbitor and see what you think when connected to your two channel system. Roon will see Airplay end points so your Marantz based HTS would still be connected and you could could try it out the Sonicorbitor as and end point for your 2 channel system. I've got one connected as the source for Lyngdorf TDAI-2170 in my bedroom and it's still pretty amazing. Your two channel system sounds like it might ultimately be in need of a DAC that is capable of hi-res files. You can spend the extra $$ on the microrendu and find a new DAC that will accept USB in ... or live with the Esoteric DAC in the short term (and listen to with redbook quality files) and wait until more DACs are available that support MQA (possibly the future of streaming). The Chord DACs are my personal favs, but everybody has their preferences. There are also a lot more Roon ready products coming available (Auralic Aries, etc.). You can run Roon on your mac for the core (i.e. the "server") or get a dedicated box to serve/store your library. Sonore has a bundle that provides the 'computer' which is optimized as a music server and runs roon with a microrendu. You just store your music library on a NAS (any NAS will do .. Roon will find it) or on a USB connected drive. I'm still using a mac mini as a HTPC and I find the it works just fine since it's effectively isolated from my AV gear with Sonore products. Good luck.
  4. Simple solution ... Just needed to reboot Lyngdorf. Thanks again!!!!
  5. Newbie here in search of some help. I've had the SonicorbiterSE for some time and it was being used to deploy Roon to another room in my house (master BR ... enjoy listening on way to dreamland). Previously I had the Sonicorbiter feeding either a Chord Mojo or an Oppo HA-2 which in turn connected via analog to my pre-amp (Aragon Soundstage). I recently upgraded to the Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 with the USB input. The Lyngdorf has a great built in DAC that I want to use, but for some reason I cannot get the Sonicorbiter to recognize the Lyngdorf. It works fine if I use the mojo or the oppo, but they are both connecting via USB-A to Micro-USB cable. The Lyngdorf requires a USB-A to USB-B cable. I initially thought perhaps my cable was bad or perhaps I got a bad USB-B card in the Lyngdorf, so I plugged my Mac Mini server directly into the Lyngdorf using the USB-A to USB-B cable and it worked fine so it's clearly not the cable nor the Lyngdorf. I noticed the back of the Sonicorbiter does have multiple USB-A slots and perhaps I should use another slot but that doesn't seem to cure the issue either. Any other ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!!
