Product Summary
The Linn Akurate DSM is a high-performance network music player and pre-amplifier designed to act as the heart of a premium Linn or conventional hi-fi system. Combining high-resolution network streaming with extensive digital and analogue connectivity, it provides a flexible route to enjoying both modern and traditional music sources.
Music can be streamed across a home network at resolutions up to 24-bit / 192kHz, while the built-in pre-amplifier allows the Akurate DSM to connect directly to a suitable power amplifier or active loudspeaker system.
A wide range of inputs accommodates televisions, digital sources and analogue equipment, while the configurable MM/MC phono input allows a turntable to be connected directly. Linn Space Optimisation also provides powerful room optimisation to help achieve the best possible performance from the system in its listening environment.
