Good experience with Lyngdorf and bad with Dirac


Whole negative experience with Dirac. Purchased license for PC version. Tried to measure/calibrate with UMIK-1, app refuses to measure over 4KHz. REW measures fine and so does Audiolense. Tech support replies are slow, they just keep blaming Windows 11 - but can’t explain what exactly. I tried two different laptops. IMO, if they claim they support Windows, then the product should work. If there are settings or registry values, then they should know which ones. They claim Windows has noise cancellation on or some other enhancements. I do not have any of that anywhere. And it does not prove why other apps like REW work fine. Back and forth has been going for 6 months now. I asked for refund, they simply stopped responding. I am out of $500+. Beware.

Instead, I purchased new Lyngdorf TDAI-2210. Great unit, all digital, no DACs involved, conversion to analog is at speaker outputs. Streamer included, Roon/AirPlay/ChromeCast/TidalConnect and whole bunch of others. My unit has optional phono and analog input module.

RoomPerfect correction works great and does not need separate laptop or mic, microphone and 25 ft cable is included, unit performs calibration on its own. Custom voicings - basically, custom EQ presets. You can edit existing or create your own - high/low shelves, parametric EQs. Highly recommended if you want calibration, all digital signal path and custom EQ.

I own the Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 and I thinks it’s important to point out that the amp sounds great without Room Perfect or any of the digital filtering turned on. 

I also had the TDAI 1120 for a while and thought it RoomPerfect did a very respectable job.

I’ve owned the 3400 and 2170. They were both great. I liked the 2170 more but had different speakers at the time so that’s likely the reason. 
 

I picked up a 2210 a few months ago. It’s an amazing piece IMO. From the looks to the user experience to the sound quality it’s a great buy and I think is a bargain even at full price which I didn’t pay.
