Angeboten wird „Selekt DSM mit Katalyst DAC“ von LINN als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 6835437165 endet am 20.08.2026 um 15:35 Uhr.
At €3,500, this used Linn SELEKT DSM sits just below the 75th percentile of €4,094 from our database of 11 comparable EUR listings, making it an ambitious but not outrageous price for a high-end modular network player that still carries a €3,500+ new entry cost for the base Classic Hub. While not a bargain, it reflects fair value for a well-loved unit in good condition, especially given the product’s reputation for outstanding sound, seamless lossless streaming (Tidal, Qobuz), and unique upgrade paths like the Katalyst or Organik DAC modules.
This is a worthwhile buy because the SELEKT DSM is celebrated as the world’s first fully customizable digital source, offering modular flexibility for preamp, DAC, and even phono stages (MC/MM) in one chassis. Its timing advantage is clear: used units with original-owner condition and included docks or Linn-Box links offer significant savings over new Edition Hub configurations (€11,840+). With no known failure points and a clean listing, this represents a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance without the new-system premium.

Linn Products: Brand Overview
Linn Products was founded in 1973 by Scottish engineer Ivor Tiefenbrun in Glasgow as a vehicle to manufacture the Sondek LP12 turntable, which would become the company's most iconic product and a cornerstone of high-fidelity audio. The brand emerged during the golden era of British hi-fi with a revolutionary "source first" philosophy—challenging the prevailing industry belief that loudspeakers mattered most by demonstrating that superior sound quality begins with the audio source. This foundational principle has guided the company's engineering ethos for over five decades.
Linn's product portfolio spans the complete hi-fi chain, from turntables and tonearms to preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and loudspeakers. The company introduced the world's first microprocessor-controlled preamplifier and power amplifier in 1985 (the LK1 and LK2), establishing itself as an electronics specialist. From 2007 onward, Linn pivoted toward digital music streaming, becoming an early adopter of network-based audio playback supporting studio master-quality recordings at 24-bit/192 kHz resolution, and discontinued CD player production in 2009 to focus on this strategic direction.
Linn occupies the high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among discerning audiophiles and collectors for its uncompromising engineering approach and longevity. The brand's reputation rests on meticulous product design, acoustic isolation principles, and a commitment to eliminating weak links in the signal chain—a philosophy that has made Linn one of the most influential manufacturers in hi-fi history and a benchmark for quality-focused audio engineering.
