Nestled in the heart of Glasgow, audio innovators Linn have unveiled their latest marvel: the new generation Majik DSM. This meticulously crafted, all-in-one digital music player represents a significant leap forward in home audio experiences, showcasing the brand's unwavering commitment to sonic purity and elegant design.
Imagine a single, sleek unit that seamlessly integrates a high-performance streamer, pre-amplifier, DAC, and power amplifier. That's precisely what Linn has achieved with the Majik DSM. Simply connect your speakers, and you're ready to immerse yourself in a world of rich, detailed sound. This latest iteration builds upon Linn's pioneering legacy, stemming from the groundbreaking Klimax DS, launched in 2007 as the world's first home-based Studio Master quality music player. The Majik DSM is not just a product; it's an investment in enduring audio excellence, designed for longevity and future-proof performance.
At the core of the Majik DSM lies Linn's dedication to precision. Its Digital-to-Analog conversion stage boasts proprietary clocking and upsampling technology, ensuring a remarkably accurate reproduction of the original music signal. Coupled with innovative Class D amplifiers, which minimize noise and distortion, and Linn's Space Optimisation room correction software, the Majik DSM adapts to any listening environment, delivering optimal sound regardless of your room's acoustics.
Every aspect of the Majik DSM's construction speaks to Linn's meticulous attention to detail. From the sophisticated power supply and circuit boards, all manufactured in-house, to the precision-punched and folded aluminum chassis, this unit is engineered for superior performance. Solid-steel feet with rubber pads further enhance stability and minimize vibrations, contributing to an incredibly clear and unadulterated listening experience.
Visually, the Majik DSM is a masterpiece. Its subtly curved, single-piece aluminum outer sleeve, finished with a satin sheen and a UV-printed Linn logo, exudes understated elegance. The optical-grade cast acrylic fascia, housing a minimalist monochrome display, adds a touch of modern sophistication. A cut-glass, multi-function rotary dial provides intuitive control, blending aesthetic appeal with practical functionality.
Connectivity is a key strength of the Majik DSM. With a comprehensive array of inputs, including HDMI eARC, optical and coaxial digital inputs, analog phono inputs (MM and MC), and USB Type-C, it effortlessly integrates with turntables, TVs, gaming consoles, and various other audio sources. Headphone, subwoofer, and network connectivity options further expand its versatility.
Linn's in-house software development ensures seamless operation and continuous improvement. Regular, over-the-air updates deliver new features and performance enhancements, keeping the Majik DSM at the forefront of audio technology. The intuitive Linn App provides effortless control and access to high-resolution streaming services like Qobuz, TIDAL, and Deezer, along with support for Spotify, Apple AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and internet radio.
