LINDEMANN LIMETREE BRIDGE II

Pre owned. In excellent condition. No visible signs of wear. Includes manual and original packaging.

The Limetree BRIDGE II is a high-end network adapter designed to stream music from online services and local libraries in studio master quality, sending it digitally to existing D/A converters or other devices with digital inputs. This makes upgrading an existing hi-fi system for streaming simple and cost-effective. Owners of older LINDEMANN devices, such as the 820S or 825, will benefit immediately, but the BRIDGE II is also ideal for anyone with a DAC or a CD player with a digital input.

Network connection is possible via LAN cable or wirelessly via Wi-Fi, while a USB port allows connection of external hard drives or storage devices. Digital outputs are available both optical and coaxial. A professional-grade sample rate converter, based on studio technology, ensures that all streamed formats can be played back without any loss of sound quality on the connected DAC. The intuitive and smart LINDEMANN app offers separate modes for smartphones and tablets, compatible with iOS and Android, with clear light or dark interfaces. It allows browsing millions of tracks on platforms such as Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify, and HighResAudio, all reproduced in studio master resolution up to 24 bit/384 kHz.

The Limetree BRIDGE II circuitry is optimized for maximum signal quality around its powerful streaming platform. All music files are resynchronized using a high-precision femto clock and a studio-grade sample rate converter, eliminating jitter, one of the main causes of digital audio degradation. The particularly stable digital signal of the BRIDGE II can even noticeably improve the sound quality of many older D/A converters.

The BRIDGE II integrates perfectly into any hi-fi system, thanks to the precise adaptation of its input to the existing DAC, ensuring optimal signal transmission and maximum sound quality. Operation is simple and immediate, allowing for an exceptional listening experience perfectly in harmony with the existing system.
