New Klimax DSM launched
The next-generation Klimax DSM, Linn’s flagship music streamer is out. Here are the details of this next step in Linn innovation.
Located at the top of the Klimax DSM, a precision-cut dial brings physical interaction into digital streaming, akin to placing a record on an LP12.
At the centre of the Klimax DSM, Linn’s no-compromise digital to analogue converter (DAC) called ‘Organik’ converts the digital signal, the 0s and 1s of your music into an analogue signal for you to hear. The Organik is manufactured entirely in-house and offers significantly lower noise and distortion than anything Linn has achieved before.
The Klimax DSM sits at the top of the DSM family. To audition any level of the DSM family, contact us.
Here’s what Linn sent us about the next-generation Klimax DSM:
Introducing next-generation Klimax DSM – the ultimate streamer
Linn’s next-generation Klimax DSM is the best yet. It offers the closest you’ll get to streaming audio perfection.
The epitome of extreme engineering, every element has been designed from first principles, applying decades of Linn’s unique audio innovation and digital technology expertise.
On the outside, an exquisite, precision-machined, all new enclosure design providing vital acoustic isolation along with visual and tactile luxury.
And on the inside, the beating heart of new Klimax DSM, the ground-breaking first ever all-Linn digital to analogue converter – Organik DAC, enabling Linn’s most natural sounding product ever.
Klimax DSM is available in two variants: Klimax DSM (Audio) offers a solution for music lovers who want only to connect to your music sources; and for those of you seeking an enriched listening experience from your movie sources as well as music, Klimax DSM (AV) is the perfect choice.
If you’re looking for the highest performance from a complete Linn system, opt for the new Klimax System Hub. The powerful pairing of Hub plus Klimax 350 speakers or Klimax Exaktbox, both with the new Organik DAC on-board, delivers a result that’s out of this world.
