Introducing Selekt DSM: Hi-fi with the human touch

Under embargo un<l 20th September 2018

Music streaming pioneer, Linn, today announces the launch of Selekt DSM, an all-new Linn network music player that promises to bring the feeling back to digital audio.
Delivering a tac<le and beau<ful musical experience, Selekt DSM will make any system sound beJer and help you fall in love with music all over again.

Gilad Tiefenbrun, Linn Managing Director said, ‘We love the clarity of digital music, but we also love the tac<lity of physical records. It’s easy to feel we’ve lost touch with the immersive experience of playing a vinyl record – the LP selec<on, the liR-lower, the an<cipa<on during those first pops and clicks – and that playing music requires only a swipe and a tap.

Selekt DSM revolu<onises our physical interac<on with digital music; every aspect is precision engineered for a tac<le and enriched listening experience.’

Bringing the feeling back

Selekt DSM’s jewel-like dial and smart buJons are ready to be personalised to your wishes, providing instant access to your favourite music by making it possible to operate the product without the need for an app.

The cut-glass dial begins to glow when approached and turns with watch-like precision in response to a touch.

The customisable smart buJons, which have been craRed to feel like piano keys, respond instantly with the detailed music informa<on appearing on the onyx-black OLED display.

The best for every music lover

Available through Linn Specialists, Selekt DSM fits with any system. It’s available as a dedicated streaming source to drive any separates system, or you can include an integrated amplifier to streamline your system: just add speakers.

Either way, there’s an op<on to push the performance even further with Katalyst, Linn’s cu[ng-edge DAC architecture.

Selekt DSM’s on-board pre-amplifier enables all sources to be connected, including a turntable, for beJer sound, instantly.

Sound uniquely tailored for you

Selekt DSM includes the new version of Linn’s ground-breaking Space Op<misa<on technology. Space Op<misa<on uses Linn’s unique digital signal processing to ensure you get the best possible sound from any Linn DSM network music player, removing the distor<ng effects of your room.

Beauty you can hear

Linn have announced availability of a very limited number of special edition Klimax systems finished in Caledonian blue.

Brochure: Limited Edition Klimax System in Caledonian Blue

Caledonia is actually a Latin name that was given to Scotland by the Roman Empire.  The name may be related to that of a large central Pictish tribe, the Caledonii, one amongst several in the area and perhaps the dominant tribe. Its name can also be traced to a concatenation of two Celtic words which literally means “hard feet” and has been used to indicate steadfastness and endurance.
