LINN Selekt DSM Edition Hub AV Receiver

The all-glass fascia of Edition Hub is composed of mirrored spy glass; with the large-format display concealed behind it displaying crisp, clear information when necessary, and fading to total invisibility when not.

Edition Hub features, as standard, Linn’s all-new, exceptionally efficient, highly responsive, and precision-regulated power supply design – our best yet – Utopik.

100 individual LEDs within the control dial, 6 machined customisable 'smart buttons' & a precision modular design; there is nothing quite like the Linn Selekt DSM.

A broad range of connections on Edition Hub’s back panel ensures that it can receive, process and expertly deliver audio from any source imaginable.

The standard option; a stereo DAC that performs beautifully in all applications.

You can start here, and as your taste matures, simply upgrade the built-in DAC cartridge to suit your needs to either the Katalyst or Organik DAC.

Linn's high-performance Katalyst DAC architecture performs the digital-to-analogue conversion process with a high degree of accuracy and finesse.

With Katalyst, we have reached the absolute pinnacle of performance attainable while utilising trusted and high-quality 3rd-party chipsets.

Through relentless optimisation of the various critical processes adjacent to the DAC itself, Linn have produced a refined data optimisation stage; a highly accurate master clock; independent power supply wells; an low distortion output driver, and a high stability reference voltage level.

The latter is vitally important. At the point of creation, the delicate analog audio signal is particularly susceptible to even minuscule variations in the reference level, which would cause irreversible damage to the music — heard as distortion or noise.

Katalyst’s high-stability input reference level eliminates variations during analog signal creation, giving you deeper insight into your music.

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."
