Description
Now on demonstration at signals, the next generation Klimax DSM 3. This is Linn’s best yet, applying decades of audio innovation and digital technology learnings. “With its extreme engineering and breathtaking sound, Klimax DSM is the closest you’ll get to streaming audio perfection.”
Designed from the ground up, Klimax DSM is housed in an exquisite precision-machined new enclosure, providing vital acoustic isolation along with visual and tactile luxury.
On the inside, the beating heart is the ground-breaking home-grown Linn Organik DAC, enabling our most natural sound ever.

Organik DAC: the beating heart of Klimax DSM
Designed without compromise and manufactured entirely in-house, the home-grown all-Linn Organik DAC combines FPGA processing with a discrete conversion stage, enabling us to precisely control and optimise every stage of the digital to analogue conversion process for the first time.
