Great review of the new Selekt and the many options for configuration.I’m currently upgrading from a Maijik DSM/2. My order is in for standard Selekt DSM with am amp cartridge, Organic DAC and the HDMI module. Should be a huge improvement from MDSM/2. Perhaps I’ll consider one of the more elaborate configurations one day. Thanks

You are correct - for bi-amping a single line out card feeding the amp and then link the channels at the amp is a better solution... The dual/tri line-out cards are typically used in external Exakt configurations - e.g fully active Majik 109, Kudos 500,606,707,808, 10A and 20A. Maybe a better example would have been in a multi-channel solution when the two cards could be used for front L+R and Surround L+R (and the sub out on the Selekt DSM Edition). Thanks for watching.

The highest performance from Selekt is the Dual Mono line out carrtidges with dual mono organik DACs with external amplification... So system 10 shown here gets my vote for 'performance' - but the beauty of Selekt DSM is that it can be configured to your requirements and budget. It can easily be reconfigured if you needs change over time. I recommend you check out our videos on the new updated Selekt DSM Classic and on the new Linn 150 and 119 speakers. We will probably make an updated version of this video featuring the new models... Like and subscribe etc to get notified of new videos.

Great video - thank you for posting. I'm intrigued by the options with internal Selekt amps driving Titan 606 speakers, and would be interested to know how much performance uplift there is in going from one Selekt amp module to two Select amp modules configured to drive the speakers Exakt. (Let's say with Organik DAC in both variants).
@ripcastercouk2 жыл бұрын
In Exakt mode you are bypassing the passive cross-over in the speakers. Each amplifier channel is connected directly to the drive unit - 4 in this case. The Exakt filter is loaded into the Selekt DSM to match the speakers (Kudos Titan 606 in this case). This is the best way to drive the speaker as it elimiates the loss in the crossover and phase aligns the signal to the speakers. You are welcome to visit ripcaster for a demonstration.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us in a descriptive manner, so to speak. Never have I seen so many top end units being swapped with ease and so swiftly. It's fun... When bi-amping with two power amp/DAC modules, no other internal setting is required, is that right? Thanks.
@ripcastercouk Жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching ... With 2 or 3 Power amp modules you can Bi-Amp(2) orTri-Amp(3). There are no other hardware settings required. You do configure the unit in software (using KONFIG or theManage Systems web interface) so that the speaker make/model is defined. Maybe there is another video to be made showing how this is done and the options for driving speakers in an Aktiv manner...

There is also an 11th way to connect: DSM into a 4200 by using 1 stereo out module (instead of 2) and simply use the jumpers which are supplied with your 4200 to internally connect 2 channels to the 2 channels where your interlinks connect to. That way you can also bi-amp your speakers and saves 1 stereo out and 1 stereo dac

It's a wonderful attempt. Are AudioQuest cables better for LINN products? I'm currently struggling with the Ethernet cable to use for EXAKTLINK. Is the ethernet cable also AudioQuest?
@ripcastercouk2 жыл бұрын
Linn recommend Cat 5 or Cat 6 cables. The Exakt cables in the video happen to be Audioquest cinnamon cable (ripcaster.co.uk/AudioQuest_Cinnamon_Ethernet_Cable) - these are Cat 7. I'd recommend Cat 5 or 6 for long Exakt link cables. The Ethernet network cable in the video is a AudioQuest Vodka cable (ripcaster.co.uk/AudioQuest_Vodka_Ethernet_Cable). With all cables I recommend you audition them in your own system. The specification for Exakt cables can be seen on the Linn docs site here: docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Template:Info:Exakt-Cables.

May I ask about the sound quality of the amp section? To which of the current Linn amplifiers would it be comparable. Would it be on the level of a Majik, Akurate or Klimax? For that matter if the amp sections are different for all the Majik, Selekt and Kilmax DSMs would their individual amp sections be at the levels of their separate stand-alone amps?
@ripcastercouk Жыл бұрын
I'd say clearly above Majik - but a lot depends on the loudspeakers (load/efficiency etc). They are rated at 100W/channel into 4Ω load and benefit from the excellent Utopik power supply in the Selekt.

Use a Selekt DSM with either a Stereo Line out or a pair of Mono line out cartridges. You have a choice of 3 DACs: Standard, Katalyst or Organik. Connect the Selekt to the power amp using unbalanced/RCA or balanced/XLR inter connects. Visit Ripcaster if you want to see & hear this combination. Linn works with Roon so you can control using the Roon App or the native LInn App or Linn Kazoo App

The Utopik power supply fitted to Classic and Edition (from October 2022) are identical (see ~2.43 in this video). Utopik is available as an upgrade to all Selekt Classics produced before October 2022. Early Selekts Classic did feature power supplies with different physical sizes (but plug compatible). These were known as 'Single' and 'Dual' variants. More images of Utopik power supply here ripcaster.co.uk/Linn_Utopik_Power_Supply_Upgrade
