150 Selekt System Pair 150 speakers with a Selekt DSM: Classic Hub, and you will have a future-proof complete system which can be upgraded over time. Upgrade performance from passive to Exakt by adding more internal amplification, upgrade your DAC modules, and apply free-of-charge, capability-enhancing software updates – in big steps, or bit-by-bit – it’s your choice. Exakt By virtue of 150’s 3-way drive unit layout, it is now easier and more attainable than ever to upgrade to the extraordinary performance of Linn’s proprietary Exakt technology. 150 can be converted to Exakt in a matter of minutes, whilst all requisite amplification, DAC modules and the Exakt digital crossover can be contained within a Selekt DSM. Just add speaker cable!
SELECT DSM - The world’s first, fully customisable and future-proof digital source for hi-fi enthusiasts…
Organik DAC - Designed without compromise, and engineered entirely in-house, Organik is the breathtaking culmination of over thirty years of digital technology expertise. Available in stereo and higher-performing dual-mono variants. Our entirely homegrown, 5th-generation DAC technology – Organik – is available as a retrofittable upgrade to many current and legacy Linn products. These upgrades can frequently be performed in a matter of minutes, and 'in-the-field'. Contact your Linn specialist via the button below to discuss your upgrade options.
Technical Detail There are many different types of ‘discrete’ DAC. Although simply making something ‘discrete’ does not necessarily result in high performance. The performance advantage of Organik comes from its unique combination of: Modulation method – Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Delta-Sigma Conversion stage – Discrete Analog Finite Impulse Response (AFIR) Implementation – Ultra-stable power, precision clocking, and expert PCB design When employed together, the PWM modulator and AFIR conversion stage are immune to many of the problems that affect other discrete designs — where small errors in switching times or resistor values can generate distortion. However, in order to realise the full potential of this conversion method, great attention must also be paid to other factors such as power supply, clocking, and perhaps most importantly, the physical layout of the circuit board. Organik uses an 8-layer circuit board, facilitating optimal delivery of power and clocks to the DAC. Power for the conversion stage is generated by a discrete regulator, and delivered using multiple internal power planes. Clock traces are matched to within fractions of a millimetre, to ensure that every part of the DAC receives its clock at precisely the same time. All these elements work in harmony to create an analog signal with incredibly low levels of noise and distortion — far lower than anything we’ve ever achieved before.
Technical Specifications Configurable, modular, network music player with inputs for separate digital and analogue sources; plus configuration options including (but not limited to) source-only, source + amps, and a variety of Surround Sound applications. Optional upgrade to Katalyst DAC, or peak performance with Organik DAC.
