Linn Selekt DSM Edition Hub Stereo Organik And Line Out Network Streamer
Edition Hub
Construction Edition Hub is a superior-quality enclosure, featuring an all-machined construction for improved rigidity, interior isolation, and elevated aesthetic appeal — with sleek sight lines, concealed joins and understated luxury at the fore. The Edition Hub chassis consists of four plates, rigidly bolted together. The side pieces are flawlessly aligned with the base using pins, with four long bolts subsequently torqued-in for an exceptionally rigid fix, with a pleasing, precision fit and finish. Providing both requisite heat management and high design appeal, the primary vent of Edition Hub is precision-cut into its aluminium plate lid. The vent itself is evocative of a wave, with each aperture cut at an angle, and only every second one machined all the way through. When viewed from different angles, this wave motif morphs and ripples — with myriad reflections projected from its various finishes and surfaces.
Control Dial
Edition Hub features a much-improved, eye-catching control dial. Its precision, turned- stainless-steel bearing ensures silky, tactile rotation when adjusting volume; and the photo- etched steel halo around its edge allows cool, sharp light to emanate from the one hundred individual LEDs beneath. The dial proudly exhibits Linn’s “Clyde Built” epithet — a reverential nod to their Glasgow home’s industrial river, and the world-leading engineering which has emanated from its shores.
Smart Buttons / Display / Feet
Edition Hub features an array of six, extruded anodised-aluminium ‘smart’ buttons, providing convenient, one-touch access to favourite playlists, artists, albums, or inputs. The buttons’ gratifying actuation encourages haptic interaction with your Selekt DSM. The all-glass fascia of Edition Hub is composed of mirrored spy glass; with the large-format display concealed behind it displaying crisp, clear information when necessary, and fading to total invisibility when not. Selekt DSM: Edition Hub possesses three stainless-steel feet, each impressed with a silicon ‘O’- ring which aids in decoupling from the surface on which they sit. Upon approach, an array of sensors rouse Selekt DSM: Edition Hub from its unobtrusive sleep; illuminating functional information through its mirrored glass fascia as one reaches for the gently glowing dial.
Miscellaneous Additional Features
A broad range of connections on Edition Hub’s back panel ensures that it can receive, process and expertly deliver audio from any source imaginable; with a high-performance, integrated, analogue-to-digital conversion stage accepting anything from turntables to CD players, and a host of digital connections allowing connection from video streaming devices, games consoles, and Blu-ray players — ensuring you get the best possible sound from anything you connect to your Selekt DSM. Additionally, to provide optional bass reinforcement in your system, Edition Hub features stereo RCA line out connectors designed to feed powered subwoofers.
Conveniently concealed on the enclosure’s left wall is a 1/4” headphone jack — providing Edition Hub with further welcome versatility, without disrupting the clean design of its frontal aspect. Edition Hub features, as standard, Linn’s all-new, exceptionally efficient, highly responsive, and precision-regulated power supply design — their best yet – Utopik. Edition Hub ships with up to 24bit/384kHz and DSD256 streaming capability. Edition Hub features Linn’s groundbreaking room-correction software – Space Optimisation – as standard. We will configure this for you to ensure that you only hear your system’s true sound and capability, and not the distortions caused by your room’s unique dimensions and construction.
Selekt DSM: Edition Hub is available in either a natural silver- or black-anodised finish.
