Angeboten wird „Linn Akurate Exakt DSM Multi-Source Network Player with Integrated Pre-Amplifier“ von LINN als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Digital Streamer“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 658959916 endet am 22.06.2026 um 15:15 Uhr.
For a used piece that once sat much higher in the Linn ecosystem, €2,100 is ambitious against your current local benchmark: it lands well above the €1,655 75th percentile and far above the €1,150 median, so this is priced like a premium example rather than a typical used buy. I would not call it a bargain at this level, even in good condition.
What still makes it attractive is the underlying product: the Akurate Exakt DSM is a highly regarded networked preamp/streamer with Linn’s Exakt platform, so buyers are paying for serious digital control, upgrade path potential, and a very refined, system-centric presentation. If the unit is clean, fully functional, and ideally includes the right accessories or original packaging, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone specifically building around Linn — but the ask leaves little room for surprises.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
