Extreme Engineering • Breathtaking Sound • The Ultimate Streamer

Next generation Klimax DSM is the best yet, applying decades of audio innovation and digital technology learnings. With its extreme engineering and breathtaking sound, Klimax DSM is the closest you’ll get to streaming audio perfection.

Designed from the ground up, Klimax DSM is housed in an exquisite precision-machined new enclosure, providing vital acoustic isolution along with visual and tactile luxury.

Reconnect with the Music

Linn are pioneers in the production of both the highest quality streaming products and award-winning Studio Master recordings, they have a unique understanding of the entire music reproduction process, from the artist’s microphone to your ear.

New Klimax DSM is designed to reproduce audio to an unprecedented standard, whether that’s 24-bit music streamed from a personal collection, a high quality online streaming service such as Tidal or Qobuz, vinyl played on an LP12 turntable or the soundtrack from a movie or game, because it’s the quality of sound reproduction that enriches the experience by bringing it to life, no matter what’s being listened to.

Extreme Engineering

Every aspect of the exquisite custom-designed enclosure plays a crucial role in preserving the original musical detail whilst providing visual and tactile luxury.

Machined from solid, special grade aluminium, the striking design takes on a fresh new family look whilst retaining the distinguished and much-loved signature Klimax feel.

The beautiful dial designed for Klimax DSM is a badge of pride, a visible reflection of the attention to detail and incredible engineering that lies inside that extraordinary enclosure.

Klimax DSM is not only beautiful to look at from the outside, when you look inside the detail is second to none.

Every aspect of the enclosure plays a crucial role in preserving the original musical detail. The sheer mass of the product, coupled with internal damping, isolates the product from vibrations in the room and precision-cut pockets and partitions separate the analogue, digital and digital power stages, fully protecting the electronics from any interference within the product.

This extreme isolation perfectly preserves the delicate signal and cradles the beating heart of Klimax DSM and its most critical component, Organik DAC - the first ever, all-Linn, digital to analogue converter.

Organik DAC

The beating heart of Klimax DSM and its most critical component, Organik DAC - the ground-breaking all-Linn digital to analogue converter.

With Organik DAC on-board, Klimax DSM sets a new benchmark in music streaming for the ultimate musical experience.

Designed without compromise and manufactured entirely in-house, the home-grown all-Linn DAC combines FPGA processing with a discrete conversion stage, relentlessly optimised to work perfectly together as a system. Precisely control and optimise every stage of the digital to analogue conversion process.

Organik offers significantly lower noise and distortion, measuring better than anything Linn have achieved before. It expertly performs the digital to analogue conversion to achieve the most accurate re-creation of the original music signal, revealing even more of the tiny details that provide a closer emotional connection with the music.

Connected for the Best Possible Sound

The exceptional audio performance of Klimax DSM with new Organik DAC, combined with higher performance 24-bit 384khz streaming and DSD256 audio format support, will give all streaming and connected digital,analogue and wireless sound sources a new lease of life.

Connected analogue sources will also enjoy an extra benefit thanks to a brand new higher performance, lower distortion ADC design which has its own circuit board with dedicated power supply, whilst Exakt Link ports enable direct connection of an LP12 with Urika II.

A USB input enables direct connection to a computer for the ultimate performance stand-alone DAC.

Built-in wireless connectivity enables convenient connection of sources via WiFi or Bluetooth.

Movie and gaming fans should opt for the AV variant which offers additional HDMI inputs, again using Organik DAC to enhance the performance of all connected AV sources. This variant also provides eARC for Smart TV support.
