Linn Select DSM – Make it your own
Every so often, a new product comes along that redefines expectations and revolutionises standards, forging its own path in the name of innovation and ingenuity.
Linn Selekt DSM is the most configurable digital music player ever. It is versatile, upgradeable and, crucially, sounds exceptional.
This digital music player was conceived with the intent for it to accommodate Linn’s latest technological advancements — and those of the future — by virtue of its ingenious, modular design.
Choose your enclosure model, your preferred starting performance level, and then set Selekt DSM to work in your choice of application — all from one box — with the ability to upgrade easily at any time.

With sleek sight lines, concealed joins and understated luxury at the fore.
The Selekt Edition Hub chassis consists of four plates, rigidly bolted together.
The side pieces are flawlessly aligned with the base using pins, with four long bolts subsequently torqued-in for an exceptionally rigid fix, with a pleasing, precision fit and finish.
Control Dial
Selekt Edition Hub features a much-improved, eye-catching control dial.
Its precision, turnedstainless-steel bearing ensures silky, tactile rotation when adjusting volume; and the photoetched steel halo around its edge allows cool, sharp light to emanate from the one hundred individual LEDs beneath.
Smart Buttons / Display / Feet
Selekt Edition Hub features an array of six, extruded anodised-aluminium ‘smart’ buttons, providing convenient, one-touch access to favourite playlists, artists, albums, or inputs.
The buttons’ gratifying actuation encourages haptic interaction with your Selekt DSM.
The all-glass fascia of Selekt 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.
Linn Selekt DSM: Edition Hub possesses three stainless-steel feet, each impressed with a silicon ‘O’- ring which aids in decoupling from the surface on which they sit.
Upon approach, an array of sensors rouse Selekt DSM: Edition Hub from its unobtrusive sleep; illuminating functional information through its mirrored glass fascia as one reaches for the gently glowing dial.
