Linn launches a 4th network player-- the Selekt DSM, a modular offering available as either a source component or standalone audio system complete with a tactile design and a range of audio enhancing technologies.
The Selekt slots between the entry-level Majik and flagship Akurate in the DSM product range. Interchangeable cartridges make it a modular system, since customers can upgrade the base streamer/pre-amp with either an integrated 100W-per-channel Class D power amplifier or Katalyst DAC architecture (as found in the Akurate and Klimax models).
Other cartridges include a headphone amplifier and a multichannel module with 5.1 speaker terminals, x4 HDMI inputs, x1 HDMI output and playback support for DTS and Dolby Digital Plus formats. The streamer will also seen an upgrade to Bluetooth and wifi (2.4/5GHz) support in 2019, since on launch it connects to networks solely via ethernet socket.
