Offered is „LINN Serie 5 System, Lautsprecher 530 weiss + Akurate DSM Streamer Vorverstärker“ by LINN as second-hand device from the category „Active Speaker“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1184161183 ends on 16.10.2026 at 20:20 o'clock.
A respected all-in-one digital hub, but this one is priced rich against the recent used market. With a median of €2,675 and a 75th percentile of €5,975, the €8,800 ask sits well above the typical top end, so I’d treat it as ambitious unless there’s something exceptional included or documented.
What makes it worth chasing is the AKURATE DSM’s reputation for clean, flexible Linn streaming and preamp duties in a single box, with strong build quality and long-term relevance in a serious system. In good condition, it’s the sort of piece that can anchor a high-end setup neatly, but at this level I’d want to see original packaging, the correct remote, and a clear service/history trail before considering it.
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.
