Overview

The next-generation Klimax DSM is the pinnacle of extreme engineering, meticulously designed from first principles both inside and out, embodying decades of Linn’s unparalleled audio innovation and digital technology expertise. This model boasts advanced features and cutting-edge technology, a result of years of industry-leading research and development by Linn engineers. Central to its design is the groundbreaking Organik DAC, a hallmark of Linn’s commitment to uncompromising quality. The Organik DAC, entirely manufactured in-house, integrates FPGA processing with a discrete conversion stage, allowing precise control and optimization of every step in the digital to analogue conversion process.

One of the most remarkable features of the Klimax DSM is its ability to adapt to any listening environment, overcoming the common issue of sound distortion caused by the room's shape. This is achieved through Linn’s pioneering Space Optimisation technology, which eliminates unwanted acoustic effects to reveal the true sound of the music.

Additionally, Linn’s Exakt technology ensures perfect time alignment of every part of every note, allowing listeners to experience the sound as it was recorded by the artist, a feat no other speaker system has accomplished before. The Klimax DSM is also powered by the all-new Utopik power supplies, which are exceptionally efficient and responsive. These power supplies feature intelligent Valley Switching, Power Factor Correction, and precision-regulated power rails, making them the cleanest and best yet.

The Klimax DSM, designed from the ground up, is encased in an exquisite precision-machined enclosure that offers vital acoustic isolation along with visual and tactile luxury. Inside, the revolutionary Linn Organik DAC delivers the most natural sound ever, making the Klimax DSM the closest you’ll get to streaming audio perfection.
