  • The Classic Hub showcases a durable construction with its folded aluminium casing, coated with a fine powder finish, all elegantly placed on a solid 8mm-thick machined-aluminium base.

    Equipped with a user-friendly central control dial and a set of six programmable 'smart' buttons, the Classic Hub offers effortless access to your favorite playlists, artists, albums, or inputs. These intuitive interfaces promote physical interaction, enhancing your overall system experience.

    With its extensive connectivity options, the Classic Hub seamlessly integrates audio from a wide array of sources. Its high-performance integrated analogue-to-digital conversion stage accommodates everything from turntables to CD players. Additionally, a variety of digital connections allow for easy linking with video streaming devices, gaming consoles, and Blu-ray players. Rest assured, the Selekt DSM ensures exceptional sound quality, no matter what you connect to it.

  • The Edition Hub boasts an exceptional enclosure constructed entirely through precision machining. This meticulous approach enhances its overall strength, isolates the interior components, and accentuates its sophisticated aesthetic. With sleek lines, concealed joints, and an understated luxurious design, it exudes elegance.

    Incorporating both efficient heat management and striking visual appeal, the primary vent of the Edition Hub is meticulously cut into the aluminium plate lid. The wave-inspired vent features angled apertures, with every second one machined all the way through. This design creates a captivating wave motif that seems to ripple and transform when viewed from different angles, producing captivating reflections from its various finishes and surfaces.

    Enhancing both functionality and visual allure, the Edition Hub showcases an improved control dial. Its stainless-steel bearing ensures smooth and tactile rotation when adjusting the volume, while the photo-etched steel halo surrounding the edge allows cool and sharp light to emit from the one hundred individual LEDs beneath.

    The Edition Hub's all-glass fascia utilizes mirrored spy glass, concealing a large-format display that exhibits crisp and clear information when necessary and seamlessly fades into invisibility when not in use.

    With a comprehensive array of connections on the back panel, the Edition Hub effortlessly accommodates and delivers audio from any conceivable source.

    As a standard feature, the Edition Hub incorporates Linn's latest power supply design, the Utopik. This highly efficient, responsive, and precision-regulated power supply represents our most advanced technology to date.

Choose your performance


Once you've made your selection, the next decision is determining which of the three tiers of digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) performance you prefer for your Selekt DSM.


  • Opt for the standard option—a stereo DAC that excels in performance across all applications, delivering exceptional results.

  • Experience the pinnacle of performance with our high-performance Katalyst DAC architecture, renowned for its precise and refined digital-to-analog conversion process.

    Utilizing trusted and top-quality third-party chipsets, Katalyst achieves unrivaled accuracy and finesse, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable.

    Through meticulous optimization of critical processes surrounding the DAC, we have developed an advanced data optimization stage, an incredibly precise master clock, independent power supply wells, a low-distortion output driver, and a high-stability reference voltage level.

    The stability of the reference level is of utmost importance as even the slightest variations can detrimentally affect the delicate analog audio signal, resulting in irreparable damage to the music with audible distortion or noise.

    Katalyst's high-stability input reference level eradicates any fluctuations during the creation of the analog signal, providing you with deeper insights and a heightened appreciation of your music.

  • Crafted without any compromises and meticulously engineered in-house, Organik represents the pinnacle of our over thirty years of expertise in digital technology.

    The realm of "discrete" DACs encompasses various types, but it is crucial to note that simply being "discrete" does not automatically guarantee high performance. The exceptional performance of Organik stems from its unique combination of the following elements:

    1. Modulation Method: Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Delta-Sigma.
    2. Conversion Stage: Discrete Analog Finite Impulse Response (AFIR).
    3. Implementation: Ultra-stable power, precise clocking, and expert PCB design.

    When these components work together, the PWM modulator and AFIR conversion stage overcome many issues encountered by other discrete designs, where small errors in switching times or resistor values can introduce distortion.

    However, to fully unlock the potential of this conversion method, meticulous attention must also be given to factors such as power supply, clocking, and especially the physical layout of the circuit board.

    Organik employs an 8-layer circuit board that optimally delivers power and clocks to the DAC. A discrete regulator generates power for the conversion stage, which is then distributed using multiple internal power planes.

    Clock traces are meticulously matched to within fractions of a millimeter, ensuring precise synchronization of clocks across the entire DAC. These elements work harmoniously to produce an analog signal with remarkably low levels of noise and distortion, surpassing any achievements we have previously attained.
