It does not contain a power amplifier; it is designed to be the best possible starting point for a signal chain that continues into separate amplification or into Exakt active loudspeakers. At £35,000, it is a commitment, and the performance justifies that commitment in ways that are not difficult to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current Klimax DSM features the Organik DAC — designed entirely in Linn's Glasgow factory, without the use of third-party DAC chips. It combines FPGA digital processing with a discrete analogue conversion stage that Linn developed over more than three decades of research. The result is a DAC that resolves fine musical texture with a naturalness that chip-based architectures — however well implemented — do not quite achieve. It is the kind of difference that becomes immediately apparent when switching between it and a very good Katalyst-equipped system: there is simply more music in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Organik DAC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinn's decision to design their own DAC from scratch rather than building around established converter chips is the same kind of decision dCS made with the Ring DAC — a recognition that the ceiling imposed by existing chip technology is a real ceiling, and that removing it requires engineering work that nobody else has done. The Organik DAC is the result of that effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conversion is handled by a discrete circuit that Linn manufactures in-house. FPGA processing upstream manages digital filtering and signal preparation. The measured performance figures — 24-bit resolution, up to 384kHz, DSD256 — represent the format ceiling, but the subjective quality of what the Organik does within those figures is what separates it from the competition. Listeners consistently describe a reduction in digital hardness: the leading edges of transients are more natural, decay tails are longer and more convincing, and low-level detail that often sounds like background information on other DACs is resolved as musical content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnectivity and System Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klimax DSM is available in two variants: Audio, and AV (which adds HDMI switching).

At £17,500, it is for those who are building around Klimax 350 speakers or an Exaktbox with external Organik DAC, and who do not need the Klimax DSM's internal full-output DAC because the DAC is already in the speakers or the Exaktbox itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the correct choice when Exakt Link is the primary output path and the DAC performance will be provided by the endpoint, not the source hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the System Hub Does Differently\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klimax DSM and the Klimax System Hub share the same chassis, the same Utopik power supply, the same ADC for analogue sources, and the same connectivity — including Exakt Link outputs, balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs, HDMI eARC, and full network streaming capability.

In this configuration, the digital signal leaves the System Hub via Exakt Link as a bitstream and is converted to analogue inside the speaker or Exaktbox, as close to the drive unit as possible. The hub manages the source, the network, the analogue inputs, and the system control — and passes the digital signal downstream with the minimum of interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe same enhanced low-distortion ADC found in the current Klimax DSM is present in the System Hub, giving connected analogue sources — a turntable, a CD transport, an analogue source of any kind — the best possible conversion before the signal enters the digital domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConnectivity and Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Klimax System Hub provides the full Klimax connectivity suite: Exakt Link outputs for Linn Exakt speakers and Exaktboxes, balanced XLR and RCA analogue outputs for conventional amplification where needed, HDMI with eARC for television audio, and a USB Type-B input for direct computer connection as a standalone DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNetwork connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45 and SFP optical), Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and Bluetooth 4.2.

The effect on imaging and bass definition is one of the more dramatic demonstrations available in Norwich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Exakt Link outputs allow direct connection to Exakt-enabled loudspeakers such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.martinshifi.co.uk\/products\/linn-530-exakt-digital-loudspeaker\"\u003eLinn 530\u003c\/a\u003e. In an Exakt system, the digital signal travels from the DSM to the speaker as a bitstream — the DAC conversion happens inside the cabinet, just before the amplifier for each individual drive unit. There is no analogue interconnect, no passive crossover, no signal degradation between source and driver. The Selekt Edition Hub, paired with 530s, is a complete, high-performing system that requires no separate amplification and no speaker cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: DSD files do not play back over the Exakt Link — they are handled by the internal DAC and output via analogue connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-machined aluminium — Edition Hub\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModular slots\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 cartridge slots (output and DAC modules)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAC options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, Katalyst, or Organik (ordered separately or at time of purchase)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExakt outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × Exakt Link\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × RCA line level; MM phono; MC phono\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × Toslink (32–192 kHz); 2 × SPDIF (32–192 kHz); USB Type-B Audio Class 2 (44.1–192 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDMI ARC; Bluetooth 4.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNetwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEthernet (100Base-T), Wi-Fi 802.11ac\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupported formats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFLAC, WAV, ALAC, AIFF, AAC, MP3, OGG Vorbis, WMA, DSD 64\/128\/256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax resolution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24-bit \/ 384 kHz (Organik DAC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUtopik (Valley Switching, Power Factor Correction)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming services\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, Deezer, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, TuneIn, Calm Radio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H × W × D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e119 × 355 × 355 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.2 kg (configuration-dependent; up to 12.3 kg with full cartridge fit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Selekt DSM Edition Hub is for the listener who wants to enter the Linn ecosystem at a serious level, with the option to improve the system over time without replacing the central component.
