Linn Audio DSM Selekt Network Music Player

The Linn Selekt DSM is a high-performance network music player created for listeners who want uncompromising sound quality, extensive system configurability, and a more luxurious physical design. Engineered by Linn, the Selekt DSM shares the same advanced digital platform and modular architecture as the DSM Classic, while elevating the experience through a premium enclosure crafted from precision-machined aluminium.

This combination of reference-grade performance and refined industrial design makes the Selekt DSM an ideal choice for customers who value both sonic excellence and physical presence in a high-end audio system.

High-end performance, refined through precision engineering

At its core, the Linn Selekt DSM is built around the same performance-first philosophy that defines all Linn digital sources. Every aspect of the signal path is designed to preserve musical timing, reduce noise, and maintain absolute control over the audio signal. The result is a sound that is natural, detailed, and engaging, with a strong sense of rhythm and realism.

Careful clocking, advanced power regulation, and rigorous circuit layout ensure that the Selekt DSM delivers a stable, spacious soundstage with excellent separation and clarity. Vocals are focused and expressive, bass is tight and controlled, and complex musical passages are reproduced without strain. Whether playing high-resolution files or streaming everyday content, the presentation remains composed and musically convincing.

Three DAC options, including Linn’s flagship Organik DAC

Like the DSM Classic, the Linn Selekt DSM is available with three DAC options, allowing customers to choose the level of digital performance that best suits their system and expectations.

At the top of the range is Linn’s Organik DAC, a world-class digital-to-analogue converter designed entirely in-house. Organik uses a fully discrete architecture rather than standard DAC chips, giving Linn complete control over the conversion process. Clocking, noise management, and power delivery are all optimized at a fundamental level.

With Organik fitted, the Selekt DSM delivers reference-level performance. Timing is exceptionally precise, dynamics are effortless, and low-level detail is revealed with remarkable clarity. The result is a deeply immersive listening experience that rivals dedicated high-end DACs, making the Selekt DSM a serious source component for demanding audiophile systems.

The additional DAC options provide flexibility for customers who want outstanding performance today with the option to upgrade in the future.

Premium machined aluminium enclosure

What sets the Linn Selekt DSM apart visually and physically is its precision-machined aluminium enclosure. This premium construction is not only about aesthetics. The solid aluminium chassis provides excellent rigidity and resonance control, helping to isolate sensitive internal components from vibration and external interference.

The enclosure gives the Selekt DSM a reassuring sense of quality and permanence. Its clean lines, flawless finish, and substantial feel make it well suited to modern, design-conscious interiors, where the product is as visible as it is functional.

Future-ready and easily upgradable by design

A defining strength of the Linn Selekt DSM is its future-ready, modular architecture. Rather than being a fixed specification product, it is designed to evolve alongside the customer’s system and listening habits.

Key components, including the DAC, can be upgraded without replacing the entire unit. This allows owners to improve performance over time as their system develops, protecting long-term value and avoiding unnecessary replacement costs.

Software updates are delivered via the network, enabling ongoing improvements, new features, and continued compatibility with streaming services and file formats. This ensures the Selekt DSM remains current and relevant for many years, rather than becoming obsolete as technology changes.

Configured to suit the system and the room

The Selekt DSM offers extensive configuration options, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of systems. Output configurations can be tailored to suit different amplification setups, making it equally effective as a digital preamplifier or as the central hub of a high-end two-channel system.

Advanced room optimization tools allow the player to be precisely tuned to the listening environment. By addressing room-related issues such as bass response and resonance, the Selekt DSM delivers cleaner, more accurate sound in real-world spaces.

A refined, long-term digital source

The Linn Selekt DSM combines reference-level digital performance with a premium machined aluminium enclosure and a future-ready, upgradeable design. With three DAC options including the world-class Organik DAC, and extensive configurability, it offers both musical authority and long-term flexibility.

For customers who want exceptional sound, elegant build quality, and a network music player that can grow with their system, the Selekt DSM is a compelling and enduring choice.
