LINN Klimax DSM AV Preamplifier

At Linn, nothing progresses beyond the prototype stage if it can’t answer this question with a resounding ‘Yes!’.

Designing and building Linn's own DAC, completely from scratch, was no exception. It was only worth doing if the result would be significantly better than any previous designs utilising 3rd-party chips.

How does it sound? That’s not for us to say... nut here is David Price's thoughts.

"The new Organik DAC is a major advance on the already excellent Katalyst. The new DAC’s myriad improvements happen at a deeper, musical level – where the innate emotion of the players is revealed in all its glory."

Every room has its own particular sound. When you’re investing in a world-class music system, why let your room have such a big say in what you hear? Remove the unwanted distorting effects of your listening environment and reveal the true sound of the music.

Space Optimisation uses sophisticated acoustic modelling to build up a complete picture of how your speakers, their placement, and the unique characteristics of your room interact to affect the sound you hear. It then precisely identifies frequencies that are artificially distorted by your environment, and reduces their energy, to reveal the music that would otherwise be hidden.

Whatever speakers you use, and however you’ve designed your room, you’ll hear a performance that’s optimised uniquely for you.

All Linn network music players have Space Optimisation built in, and it’s a free software upgrade to all existing owners too.

Dynamik is Linn's unique Switch Mode Power Supply technology, and has been powering most Linn products across the range since 2009 - look out for 'Powered by Linn Dynamik' on the base.

However, if you own an older compatible product, you can upgrade the power supply with a Dynamik upgrade module that is quite simply one of the best value upgrades available - and one of our most popular.

Linn pioneered the use of Switch Mode Power Supplies for high-end audio, developing our own audio-optimised power supply technology to generate stable, low noise power rails for the audio circuitry in a compact, cool-running package.

Dynamik has greater mains noise isolation, more power and faster response, clearly outperforming bulky and noisy conventional power supplies.
