Linn Selekt Classic Hub 2024
Selekt DSM: Classic Hub features powder-coated, folded aluminium casework mounted atop an 8mm-thick, machined-aluminium base. It is available in either a subtly textured black or flat silver finish.
Classic Hub possesses a tactile and eye-catching central control dial containing hidden LEDs that shine through with a silken glow to indicate volume. There is an array of six machined stainless-steel ‘smart’ buttons for one-touch access to favourite playlists, artists, albums, or inputs. With their intuitive operation, these interfaces encourage physical interaction with your system.
A broad range of connectivity ensures that Classic Hub can receive and 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 to video streaming devices, games consoles, and Blu-ray players – ensuring you get tremendous sound quality from anything you connect to your Selekt DSM.
Classic Hub has outputs dedicated to providing bass reinforcement to a subwoofer. There is also an integrated headphone amp with 1/4” jack output for personal listening sessions at home.

Organik DAC Upgrade
At Linn, nothing progresses beyond the prototype stage if it can’t conclusively answer one simple question positively — “is this better than what’s available elsewhere”
Designing and building their own DAC completely from scratch was no exception.
It was only worth doing if the result would be significantly better than their previous designs utilising optimised 3rd-party chips.
Organik is the culmination of over thirty years of digital technology expertise.
They pioneered high-performance digital streaming in the hi-fi industry and they are raising the bar yet again, thanks to this paradigm shift in digital-to-analogue conversion technology.
With this novel Organik DAC architecture, implementation, and realisation, they have finally completed the puzzle. Linn has achieved complete control over the entire music signal chain.
Classic Hub features Linn’s ground-breaking 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.
Classic Hub now ships with Linn’s all-new, exceptionally efficient, highly responsive, and precision-regulated power supply design — their best yet – Utopik. Classic Hub now ships with up to 24bit/384kHz and DSD256 streaming capability.
