Linn Majik DSM (2025)

Linn Majik DSM (2025)

In its new form, Linn Majik DSM raises the bar in its category, both in build- and sound-quality. Developed by the same team, and made by
the same technicians and machinery as their most recent flagship products, Majik DSM is an accessible and essential distillation of the best Linn can offer.

With its stylish design, improved build quality, unmatched usability — and by outperforming all competitors in an increasingly wide field — Majik DSM is the most entrancing proposition for those new to the world of genuine high-performance home audio.

It’s one serious piece of kit: industry-leading DS streamer, pre-amplifier, DAC, and power amplifier with all the connectivity you will ever need all in one.

Improved Performance & Sound Quality

A robust chassis formed of precision-punched and folded aluminium lends Majik DSM superb rigidity and isolation for its internal components.

The resultant performance improvement this provides is bolstered by three solid steel feet on rubber pads, which serve to further reduce unwanted vibration throughout the product.

The Linn Majik DSM DAC features their in house designed precision clocking and upsampling.

Uprated integrated amplification, derived from the Selekt DSM power amp cartridge, introduces a post-filter feedback loop for the first time in Majik DSM.

This reduces noise and distortion dramatically, and improves efficiency.

The critically important Digital-to-Analogue conversion stage in Majik DSM features Linn’s proprietary precision clocking and upsampling, to more accurately generate the music signal before it’s sent on to the integrated amplifiers.

These innovative Class D amplifiers reduce noise and distortion dramatically – and with improved efficiency – versus conventional amplifiers.

Majik DSM features, as standard, Linn’s unique room correction software Space Optimisation.

This powerful tool means you are guaranteed the best performance possible, no matter the size, shape, or construction of your living room.

Majik DSM contains a sophisticated power supply and circuit boards designed and populated by Linn – entirely in-house.

These are mounted on a robust chassis, formed of precision-punched and – folded aluminium – which lends Majik DSM superb isolation for its sensitive internal components.

The resultant improvement in sonic performance is bolstered further by three solid-steel feet, on rubber pads, which reduce unwanted vibrations and increase overall stability throughout the product.

This combination of superior build quality, high-performance electronics, and cutting-edge software means you only hear crystal-clear, unadulterated music with Majik DSM.

Looks and feels better

Majik DSM is built differently. It sounds better than the rest, and looks and feels better too. Superior build and precision engineering are evident throughout.

A stylish and subtly curvaceous black outer sleeve is formed from a single piece of 2mm-thick aluminium.

It’s punched, cut, and precisely folded to exceedingly high tolerances before being sprayed with a powder paint coat, cured to a satin-like sheen, and finished with a crisp, UV-printed Linn logo. All in-house.

The outer sleeve transitions pleasingly to an optical-grade cast acrylic fascia, which floats on Majik DSM’s front.

This in turn houses a sharp, monochrome display – which illuminates unobtrusively to inform the listener of track information before fading back to invisibility.

Majik DSM’s clean frontal aspect is crowned by a cut-glass, multi-function, rotary control dial; a beautiful and practical feature that welcomes regular physical interaction with your music system!

Connectivity & Usability
