Description
The Lejonklou Tjärn is a streamer and DAC designed, built and tuned in Sweden. It began as an attempt to improve on Källa. Instead, Lejonklou kept Källa’s musical performance and found ways to build it for less, and the result sounds very close to Källa.
Setting it up could not be simpler. Connect a network cable, a power cable and a pair of analogue interconnects to your amplifier, then switch it on. After about 20 seconds Tjärn appears as a speaker on your Apple device, ready to play Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, Apple Music, Amazon Music or YouTube Music.
Inside
- A Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 as its brain, each one selected by ear
- The same 24-bit AKM converter chip as Källa
- A new switch-mode power supply with a single regulation stage
- A discrete Ethernet port
Good to know
- You need an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV to control Tjärn.
- There is no web interface and nothing to set up. Switch it on and play.
