Weighing just under 18 pounds as configured (more on that shortly), and with a svelte 13¾” square by 4½” tall chassis, the Selekt DSM sits on a troika of low, wide, isolation footers. Selekt DSM does just that, and based on my experience as both an equipment reviewer and IT professional, does so in an unparalleled manner. It should be easy enough to understand that by stripping away all those generalized, superfluous requests and processes, and by dedicating its new dual-core processor to specific audio-performance and control processes, and managing only services specifically requisite for the recreation of music, you can build one powerful music-streaming device. Unlike the typical computer running a generalized operating system like Windows or MacOS, or even a more specialized application computer, such as a file or application server using Unix or Linux, the DSM platform is highly specialized.īy default, the typical computer manages all requests, from opening a web browser, checking email, surfing the web, or editing your digital photos, based on a “best practices” set of global instructions, written to assure that the operating system stays stable and that all tasks presented to the processor are dealt with in a timely and resource-efficient manner. The Selekt and, in fact the entire range of DSM devices, are essentially extremely sophisticated Linux computers. Though the “DS” part of the designation stands for Digital Streamer, the “M” represents the component’s ability to be or do many different things: music, movies, multi-source, multi-room, multi-user, etc. When I asked Linn’s PR officer Andrena McBain, I was informed that DSM isn’t really an acronym. market, announcing the establishment of some 25 authorized U.S. And, Linn chose the introduction of this new device to announce its commitment to a comprehensive reintegration to the U.S. Jen Cassidy, Linn’s Sales and Marketing Director, describes Selekt as a complete reworking of Linn’s existing DSM platform, starting from the ground up, one that will define the template for all further DSM developments going forward. T he striking-looking Selekt DSM represents the most current and comprehensive execution of Linn’s 12-plus-year-old family of digital streaming sources, which now includes four platforms, Majik (starting at $2999), Selekt (starting at $5200), Akurate (starting at $10,250), and Klimax (starting at $23,375).
