Steinway Lyngdorf Adds HDMI 2.1 to AV Processors
Steinway Lyngdorf is introducing HDMI 2.1 into its flagship home cinema processors.
Steinway Lyngdorf has announced that it is working on 8K-ready HDMI 2.1 HDMI board updates for its processors that will help see in a new generation of home cinema, music, and gaming.
Steinway Lyngdorf tells us that it will be using INVECAS chips in the new solutions, an intelligent move as INVECAS announced the world’s first HDMI 2.1 with HDCP 2.3 chip and IP solutions. This achievement was no doubt aided by its 2017 acquisition of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation’s HDMI design team and Simplay Labs’ subsidiary, which oversees standards compliance and interoperability testing solutions.
The updates will appear in both Steinway & Sons, and Lyngdorf Audio branded products in 2021 starting with the Steinway & Sons P300 and Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 processors.
Thomas Birkelund, CEO of Steinway Lyngdorf, told StereoNET:
Staying at the forefront of cutting-edge technology is a founding mission for both Steinway Lyngdorf and Lyngdorf Audio. Our partnership with INVECAS represents just that, another step forward in providing our clients and partners with the very latest technologies for innovative video/audio experiences.
As well as 8K 50/60Hz and 4K 100/120Hz support, HDMI 2.1 brings with it Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) capability, also support for Auto Low Latency (ALLM) and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) modes. Additionally HDMI 2.1 enables support for static and dynamic HDR allowing for extended dynamic range and wide colour gamut support, and HDCP 2.3 premium content protection.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
