Lindemann Musicbook SOURCE 2020 | Upgrade option Musicbook 10 - 25


No longer available!

Upgrade option for 1st and 2nd generation Musicbooks (10, 15, 20, 25 with or without DSD) to the latest hardware version of the Musicbook SOURCE. The optics are retained, the functions of the device, the display and the operation correspond to those of the Musicbook SOURCE after the upgrade.

What is being done?
From the previous device, only the housing, the display and the remote control will continue to be used. The electronics are completely replaced. This means that every upgrade device corresponds 100% to the new Musicbook SOURCE in terms of technology and sound. Devices with a CD drive (Musicbook 15 + 25) receive a new CD-ROM drive, devices without a CD drive (Musicbook 10 + 20) do not. For models that have so far not support streaming (Musicbook 10 + 15), this function is newly added.

New features after the upgrade in detail
- Streaming 4.0: New, much more powerful streaming platform/all audiophile streaming services/HighRes streaming up to 384 kHz/24bit and DSD256/Roon Ready. Uncomplicated connection to the router using WPS. Perfect wireless streaming with dual antenna and AC standard - even from high-resolution titles.
- Newly developed DA converter: New master clock with ultra-low jitter values ​​in the entire audio range. Next generation converter modules (2x AK4493) in mono mode.

Important instructions
- With the upgrade to Musicbook SOURCE there is no longer any USB audio input. A USB cable is no longer required! Today, all major playback programs (such as Audirvana, J.River, Pure Music) offer a music server function. This means that music files can be streamed wirelessly from the notebook without any loss of quality.
- The digital inputs of the Musicbook SOURCE are not suitable for connecting TV and video devices! Instead, the connection should be analog.
