Linn Selekt DSM Modular Streaming Pre Amplifier/ Integrated Amplifier

Selekt DSM will revolutionise your interaction with digital music. It’s a tactile and beautiful musical experience, better in every sense. It will make your system sound better and it will help you fall in love with your music all over again.

As stunning to look at as it is to listen to, every element is precision engineered for the most authentic musical performance possible.

Feel the music you want to play. Selekt DSM’s jewel-like dial and smart buttons are ready to be personalised just for you, giving you immediate access to the music you want to hear, no matter the source.

Selekt DSM is designed to fit with your system and make it sound better, whatever your setup.

Allowing you to choose from different configurations to find a model that suits your needs, the Selekt DSM currently comes in four variants - 

• Selekt DSM (Pre Amplification Module)
• Selekt DSM (With Integrated Amplification Module)
• Selekt DSM (Pre Amplification Module with Katalyst)
• Selekt DSM (Integrated Amplification Module With Katalyst

Katalyst takes an unprecedented level of control over the critical elements that lie at the heart of the analogue signal’s creation; offering improved Data Optimisation, superior Master Clock, independent Power Supplies, a new ultra-low distortion Output Driver and crucially, for the first time, a high-stability input Reference Level.
