Selekt DSM Hub 2022

The breadth of possibility within the Selekt DSM ecosystem is vast. Start with your choice of chassis – either Classic Hub, or the deluxe and higher-performance Edition Hub. Then select your desired DAC performance level – whether Standard, upgraded to Katalyst, or the peak performance of Organik – before considering how your Selekt DSM will be tailored to your own specific application.

Whether you’re working your way towards the separates system of your dreams with Selekt DSM as source-only, the highest-performance all-in-one box product available with on-board amps, the heart of your home entertainment in partnership with your TV, or you seek a fully integrated 5.1 Surround Sound receiver; whether your wish is to bi-amp, tri-amp, or even go Exakt with your loudspeakers from a single, luxurious, silver-anodised or black box – Selekt DSM accomplishes all with alacrity.

Selekt DSM is the most configurable digital music player ever. It’s a fully customisable and future-proof product ecosystem for hi-fi enthusiasts; a unique, high-performance offering unlike anything else on the market. Make it your own…

Choose your enclosure
First, choose your enclosure design: either Classic Hub, or the deluxe, higher-performance Edition Hub.

Selekt DSM: Classic Hub
A high-performance, folded-aluminium design.

Classic Hub features powder-coated, folded aluminium casework mounted atop an 8mm-thick, machined-aluminium base.

Classic Hub possesses a tactile central control dial, and an array of six programmable ‘smart’ buttons for convenient, 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.

Selekt DSM: Edition Hub
A superior-quality, all-machined design

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Edition Hub features, as standard, Linn’s all-new, exceptionally efficient, highly responsive, and precision-regulated power supply design – our best yet – Utopik.

Choose your performance
The next choice to consider, is which of the three distinct tiers of digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) performance you will choose for your Selekt DSM.

Standard DAC
The standard option; a stereo DAC that performs beautifully in all applications.

Katalyst DAC
Gain a deeper insight into your music; upgrade to Katalyst for astonishing detail and musicality.

Organik DAC
Designed without compromise, and engineered entirely in-house, Organik is the breath-taking culmination of over thirty years of digital technology expertise. Available in stereo and higher-performing dual-mono variants.

Choose your application
Once you’ve chosen your desired DAC performance level, you will choose which role you would like Selekt DSM to perform in your home today – with the option to expand and upgrade its capabilities in future.

Source-Only
If you’re looking to replace the nucleus of your hi-fi separates system – or build a new one from scratch – Selekt DSM in its simplest form is just the thing for you. It is a superb, high-performance source that will partner exquisitely with your external amplification.

Source + Integrated Amplifiers
If you seek the elegant convenience of a one-box system, Selekt DSM – with the addition of integrated amplifiers – becomes the highest-performing, all-in-one digital source on the market.

For the hi-fi enthusiast seeking even higher performance, your Selekt DSM can be expanded for bi-amping, tri-amping, and can even be Exakt-enabled to drive certain 3rd-party loudspeakers – from one single box!

Connect to your TV
Will Selekt DSM be the centre of your family’s home entertainment? With its comprehensive array of digital and analogue connectivity, your Selekt DSM will receive, process, and deliver sumptuous sound, no matter the source.

Connect to your television via the in-built HDMI ARC socket (or opt for the additional HDMI switching module featuring high-resolution eARC) to render movie, video game, and TV show soundtracks with stunning clarity and power.

Home Cinema
For home cinema devotees, Selekt DSM can be configured to form the high-performance heart of your multichannel setup. The addition of both a DSP and HDMI switching module facilitates home theatre options ranging from 2.1 up to 7.2 Surround Sound – with all the required connectivity for satellite speakers and subwoofers on-board Selekt DSM.
