Stereonet UK test Lindemann Limetree Network – In een behoorlijk ‘rave review’ testte het (online) blad Stereonet UK de Lindemann Limetree Network.
Na een zeer positief review van de Limetree Phono, testte de website Stereonet UK nu de Limetree Network, met een even positief – zo niet positiever – resultaat!
Makkelijk te installeren
De Limetree network is uitermate intuïtief in zijn bediening volgens de auteur:“Whenever I chat to people about streaming hi-fi devices, the first question asked is “is it difficult to set up?” I can honestly say that the Lindemann Limetree Network has been one of the easiest I’ve had to test. From unboxing to playing music took around 5 minutes and that’s including downloading the app.”
Lindemann App
De App van Lindemann is uitermate compleet en zeer eenvoudig in het gebruik:
“The Lindemann app is user-friendly, and everything appears self-evident. On the home screen, you have access to your local playlist (music on your mobile device) as well as any server you have on your network or storage you have plugged into the Limetree via its USB port. Finally, you can link up a wireless device via Bluetooth.
In-app options include airable radio and podcasts, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, HighResAudio and Spotify. Naturally, these will require your login credentials before you get going.
The real boon for me, however, is that you can also control the Limetree Network through Roon. As well as the software’s beautiful user interface this also enables the Network’s multi-room skills.
If you have networked storage, then the Limetree will sniff it out. If you have a USB hard-drive, plug it directly into the Lindemann device. Attach some RCA cables to some active speakers or your amplifier, and you’re ready to rock.”
Geluidskwaliteit
Uiteraard gaat het om de geluidskwaliteit en hier stelt de Limetree Network uiteraard ook niet teleur:“The Network has a natural, full-bodied presentation and possesses class-leading insight. However, none of this is at the expense of expression or dynamics.”
Conclusie
De conclusie van het blad is duidelijk:
“[…] That simplicity should not deter music fans looking for detail, depth and timing from their audio components. The little Lindemann has all that and a side of fries.
Performance, ease and options all wrapped up in a well-made, compact case see the Lindemann Limetree Network claiming a StereoNET Applause Award.”
