The Linn DS range of music streamers has arrived .....

Imagine it, you pick up your wireless remote handset, select your favourite music tracks on an i-pod style menu, press play and hear your music better than the worlds best CD player can achieve.  That's the Klimax DS.  Simple, elegant, future-proof.

How it works

Firstly, your entire digital music selection is stored on a computer hard drive (or NAS drive - Network Attached Storage Drive) This usually has several drives in a box so that any failure of a drive won't result in the loss of your music collection.

The CD's are "burned" onto the drive using software which repeatedly reads the CD until it has a high degree of confidence it has an exact copy.  This gives a much more accurate source than a cd player trying to achieve the same thing in a single pass.

We recommend using FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) for storing the CD's as it does not lose any of the data and is available on the internet - Free !  We will set up your system so you don't have to worry about software.

Your handheld controller can be any "universal plug and play" compatible device such as a Nokia N810, a Nevo SL remote control or a palmtop PC.  Again we can supply and set up this device for you so it's easy to use.

The NAS drive and the Linn DS are plugged into a home ethernet switch such as you'd find in a typical wireless home network.  This allows the CD burning software to recover the album artwork and track names etc. from the internet, again free of charge.

Using your handheld controller, the music data is streamed from the NAS drive to the DS and is played back far more accurately than a CD player. The sound quality is astonishing - we've yet to hear a better source.

Fill your house full of music

The addition of a Linn Sneaky DS in each room gives you access to your entire music collection without the need for additional amplifiers, as the Sneaky DS has it's own built in power amps.  Simply connect a pair of speakers and plug it into the ethernet network.  Buy direct from us for only £995 inc. VAT.  We can bundle this with a suitable NAS drive and Nokia N810 controller for a very competitive price !

And it doesn't stop there !

Your Linn DS does not have to be limited to CD quality playback - you can now download studio master quality music files from the Linn Website (and others) using 24bit resolution and up to 192KHz sample rate.  These can be played back in full native resolution - which is quite simply jaw dropping !

Anyone who is a fan of Analogue audio sources should hear this - it will change the way you think about your music .....
