While much of the hi-fi-related focus here at TechRadar is aimed at turntables and active speaker systems, the fact remains that many of the TechRadar team — myself very much included — are mad about music, and being able to listen to it in its best-possible quality, in particular.
Which is why I get excited about products like the Lyngdorf TDAI-2210, a premium, compact streaming amplifier that has the function of three separate components. Being an integrated amplifier, it handles both pre- and power amplification (and if preferred, can be used solely to do one or the other), and it has a streamer built in, providing instant access to whichever online music service you use.
And, aside from being a jack-of-all-trades, it’s highly powerful too, capable of delivering up to 210 watts per channel into 4 ohms (if you’re not totally clued up on hi-fi jargon, that’s a lot!). There’s plenty more it can do, and it has some extra technical wizardry up its sleeve, and you can read all about it in a full in-depth Australian review at our sister site What Hi-Fi ( that review first appeared in Australian Hi-Fi mag, which I also happen to be editor of).

The reviewer, Stephen Dawson, heaped praise upon the Lyngdorf TDAI-2210, claiming “every element of each tiny explosion of sound was delivered with proper intensity and control that spoke of a wonderful cooperation between amplifier and speaker.”
And even at higher volumes (ones realistically way too high for normal listening), the Lyngdorf streamer didn’t falter, with Stephen adding, “the music was thunderous but remained perfectly controlled, with a strong delivery of the kick drum, and other bits of the kit tightly delivered”
