Linn Klimax Renew DSM

For those unfamiliar, a Linn "Klimax Renew" DSM is Linn's top "Klimax" preamp-streamer put into a "plain-Jane" box for use in a second room or system.  This happens when a Klimax DSM owner upgrades the insides of the DSM to the latest version.  Instead of throwing the older version's insides away, they are reused in a simple, inexpensive chassis that the owner can sell or use in a second system.  The electronics are the same, just the box is changed.  This unit has one balanced analog input and output and several digital inputs and 3 HDMI inputs, so you can hook one analog device like a CD player, tuner or phono stage up to it, as well as digital sources like CD transports, cable boxes, Bluray players, game consoles etc. and feed the video out (via HDMI out) to your flat TV.  VERY versatile!  On top of that, the DSM is a top-notch network streamer giving you access to online AM/FM station streaming, streaming your own music stored on a computer or NAS drive or you can stream from CD quality or better (up to 24 bit) online sources like Tidal or Qobuz!  A truly amazing machine.  New, a Klimax DSM (in it's more solid machined casework) goes for over $23,000 now!!  This one is the version of Klimax DSM just before they came out with the "Katalyst" version. (No, it is not upgradable in this package!)  It has the "Dynamik" power supply and the Exakt Link built in.     One uses a free Linn app on a smartphone or tablet to control this device.  An optional remote is available, but it's much easier to use all the functions this has on a tablet or smart phone.  This unit can stream wirelessly from your iPhone or iPad, ("Airplay") but otherwise needs to be hardwired to your home's ethernet.  Ck out my feedback and buy with confidence!  Paypal adds 3%
