It was then later returned to Linn to be upgraded to a Klimax DSM(which included a full machine re-working of the aluminium casework to allowthe new board(s) to fit!). In October 2017 the unit was fitted with theKatalyst Architecture DAC further increasing the audio performance (thisupgrade carries the balance of its warranty which runs until October 2022. The only visible identifier to theorigins of this unit is the Klimax DS markings on the front panel! As such it is an excellentopportunity to acquire this stunning, highly acclaimed, piece of digitalelectronics, at its very highest specification, complete with the balance ofthe manufacturers warranty on the most recent upgrade at an excellent priceand a significant saving from a new unit at SRP. Linn Klimax DSM: Extracts the bestperformance from every music source. Combining ground-breakingdigital streaming performance with inputs for your other sources, Klimax DSMoffers unrivalled performance and flexibility. Now featuring our Katalyst DAC Architecture, digitalsources are reproduced with greater precision than ever before, giving yougreater insight into all of your music. And with transformerisolation for analogue connections, a distortion-free volume control and silentsource switching, its performance as a pre-amp is second-to-none.Like the rest of the Klimaxrange, Klimax DSM is housed in our machined-from-solid aluminium enclosure,with dedicated rooms for the circuit boards inside isolating the signal fromnoise at every stage. With Exakt Link on board,it’s also ready for connection to a Linn integrated speaker or Exaktbox for theultimate upgrade. Streams virtually any digital source over a standard networkIntegrates seamlessly with Tidal & Qobuz lossless streamingPlays Internet radio via TuneIn7 digital & analogue inputs to connect your other sourcesDistortion-free digital volume controlHDMI 2.0 connections (4K compatible)Surround Sound Processing available with upgradeSpace Optimisation built-in Product Description: Linn Klimax Exakt DSMdigital network streamer combines the pioneering streaming performance ofKlimax DS with additional inputs to offer unrivalled performance andflexibility for all your music whether its on your phone, home network or inthe cloud. Tailored to You: Klimax DSM usessophisticated Space Optimisation acoustic modelling to create a comprehensivepicture of how your speakers, placement and distinct room characteristics andlayout interact and the effects it has on the sound you hear. Taking allthis into consideration allows performance to be tailoredspecifically for you. Construction: Klimax DSM featurestransformer isolation for analogue connections, a distortion-free volumecontrol and silent source switching making its performance as a pre-ampsecond-to-none. Klimax DSM network player is encased in a machined one-piecealuminium housing with discrete chambers for the circuit boards insideseparating the signal from interference at every point. Natural Performance: The natural quality of eachinstrument is preserved through Exakt technology by synchronising the elementsthat construct every nuance including all the harmonics. This is enabledthrough Klimax DSM through adding a Linn integrated speaker or Exaktbox. Thedigital streamer has built in Exakt Links ready to upgrade you to the ultimatesystem. Revolutionary DAC: Linn’s new DAC architecturereproduces digital sources with superior precision than ever before. Katalystdelivers highest digital-to-analogue conversion by controlling the criticalelements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal’s creation providing yougreater insight into all of your music. Linn Klimax Series: The Klimax series wasdesigned with the goal of delivering the most premium musical performancepossible. Quite simply, it will capture every musical detail. Crafted from asolid billet of aluminium, all design aspects are optimised for performancethanks to the world-leading electronics inside the clamshell enclosure. Thecombination of sound quality beyond compare, sleek looks and sturdy build, theKlimax delivers the best of everything Linn offers in one complete integratedpackage. Katalyst: Linn’s Katalyst DAC Architecture performsdigital-to-analogue conversion with greater precision than ever. Katalyst takes an unprecedented level of control overthe critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signals creation;offering improved Data Optimisation, superior Master Clock, independent PowerSupplies, a new ultra-low distortion Output Driver and crucially, for the firsttime, a high-stability input Reference Level.The latter is vitally important because, at the pointof creation, the analogue audio signal is particularly vulnerable even tominiscule variations in the Reference Level, which cause irreversible damage. Katalysts high-stability input Reference Leveleliminates variations during analogue signal creation, giving you a deeperinsight into your music. How Katalyst improves on previous designs: Data Optimisation:Linn-designed data optimisation stage thatprepares the digital signal for conversion with greater accuracy, minimisingerrors right at the start of the process. Reference Level: Now completely isolatedfrom noise to produce a high-stability Reference Level voltage that generatesthe signals amplitude without variation. Independent Power Supplies: Independent, isolated powersupplies are tailored for each process, so feedback from one process cannotinfluence the performance of another, resulting in far lower distortion. Master Clock: A single high precisionclock with its own independent power supply ensures greater timing accuracythroughout. Output Driver: The new ultra-lowdistortion analogue output driver prepares the delicate analogue signal fortransmission out of the device, making it less susceptible to noise anddegradation.
