performs at its best in every way.\u00a0Since the launch of the Klimax DS in 2007, LINN has invested heavily in talent and manufacturing facilities, and the new Klimax DSM is a worthy result of these efforts.\u00a0The Organik DAC used here is a proprietary LINN design that gives the next generation Klimax DSM a natural and natural sound.\u00a0Combined with stunning design and precision machined body parts, this is the epitome of extreme engineering<\/i>\u00a0.\u00a0<i>\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"LINN Klimax DSM Network Player\"

audio innovation and thirty years of digital experience.\u00a0It combines the use of programmable logic integrated circuits (\u00a0FPGAs\u00a0) with a discrete conversion stage, giving\u00a0LINN\u00a0complete control and optimization of the D \/ A conversion process.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0FPGA\u00a0implemented specially developed algorithms for oversampling the digital stream, a more accurate volume control and modulation distortion.\u00a0The discrete conversion stage generates an extremely low distortion analog signal thanks to a new generator with extremely low jitter and high clock stability.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"LINN Klimax DSM Network Player\"
