Thanks Michael, I tried a few amps and some do all the above, but a number of them dont. Considering the price tag of the machine, i like to make sure it works as closely to what I would like to achieve.
I’m using the TDAI-3400 with Roon. Probably the basic features you are asking about, are the same on the bigger models. If so, the answers to 1. to 3. is yes. 4. I don’t know… no problems on mine. It’s a pleasure to use. You have auditioned Lyngdorf already and know that their SQ is right for you? You can download the user manuals from Lyngdforf’s website to double-check 1. to 3. …
Thanks Andreas. I have auditioned it and liken what I have heard so far. Though basic but the functions are some of the convenience that I really like to have and was surprised to find that there are amps around that doesn’t provide 1 and 2
I have an MP60, and it’s been great with Roon. I use it with a Nucleus+ without any major issues.
There are some configuration challenges if you’re trying to group multiple devices with the MP60 for Roon output for “whole home” style output. PM me if you want to discuss specifics, but there are some quirks. These relate to volume control and power state when you’re trying to use multiple MP60 output zones and you’re grouping with other Roon endpoints. So it’s really an edge case I’d think.
Can’t comment on the mp40 and 60 specifically but as a 3400 and Roon user I could not be happier. Sounds spectacular, and Roon works exactly as you are hoping for in points 1-3. As for 4, I guess as an upgrader from Atom I would like a colour screen with cover art but honestly it sounds so amazing I have stopped missing that.
