Steinway Lyngdorf releases major streaming update for all multichannel processors

Steinway Lyngdorf, or rather its subsidiary SL Audio A/S, continues its long-standing practice of enhancing existing hardware through substantial software innovation. The latest release broadens the streaming ecosystem across the company’s multichannel processors, making them more versatile for both immersive home cinema and advanced music reproduction. By combining next-generation streaming protocols with practical system refinements, this update positions the processors as even more capable hubs for modern high-performance AV systems.

Key Facts

• Qobuz Connect integration
• Pure Audio high-resolution multichannel streaming
• Improved Trigger functionality
• Updated Roon and Tidal implementation
• Auto Lipsync now also available for MP-40 2.1 and P100 2.1
• Free update for all supported Lyngdorf Audio and Steinway & Sons processors

Qobuz Connect – High-Resolution Streaming Built In

With the addition of Qobuz Connect, Steinway Lyngdorf opens its processors to one of the most respected high-resolution streaming services. Users can now select music directly within the Qobuz app, while the processor handles playback at full audio quality. This eliminates intermediate devices and preserves signal integrity. Given the strong focus on jazz, classical and studio-grade releases within Qobuz, this update significantly strengthens the processors’ appeal to music listeners who demand high-resolution performance.

Pure Audio – High-Resolution Multichannel Streaming Without Compression

Among the most forward-looking additions is Pure Audio multichannel streaming. This technology enables immersive, uncompressed multichannel audio delivered directly over the network, bridging a gap that previously existed only with physical media. By integrating Pure Audio support natively, Steinway Lyngdorf effectively brings studio-level immersive productions into everyday streaming setups. The result is a far more accessible pathway to multichannel music experiences with uncompromised fidelity.

System Refinements and Auto Lipsync Expansion

In addition to new streaming features, the update introduces refined Trigger behaviour and improvements to both Roon and Tidal operation. Performance, stability and overall responsiveness benefit noticeably from these adjustments. Crucially, Auto Lipsync is now also available on the MP-40 2.1 and P100 2.1, allowing these processors to automatically synchronize audio and video through HDMI eARC. This ensures precise alignment across different displays and video processors, which is particularly helpful in mixed installations.

Supported Models

The update is available for a wide range of processors from both brands. For Lyngdorf Audio, this includes the Lyngdorf Audio MP-40, Lyngdorf Audio MP-40 2.1, Lyngdorf Audio MP-50, Lyngdorf Audio MP-60, and Lyngdorf Audio MP-60 2.1 models. Similarly, the Steinway & Sons systems – namely the Steinway & Sons P100, Steinway & Sons P100 2.1, Steinway & Sons P200, Steinway & Sons P300, Steinway & Sons P300 2.1, and the Steinway & Sons Head Unit Processor – benefit from the new features. This latest development ensures that both newer and older generations of both product lines remain technically up-to-date.

Price and Availability

The streaming update is available immediately and can be installed at no cost. Users may apply the update directly via the processor interface or have it implemented by their dealer.

Conclusion – A Substantial Upgrade for Streaming-Focused Homes

This new update, now available from SL Audio A/S, reinforces Steinway Lyngdorf’s role as a progressive force in the high-end processor market. By integrating Qobuz Connect and Pure Audio multichannel streaming, the systems evolve into even more capable entertainment hubs for immersive music and dedicated home theatre environments.
