Edition Hub is a superior-quality enclosure, featuring an all-machined construction for improved rigidity, interior isolation, and elevated aesthetic appeal — with sleek sight lines, concealed joins and understated luxury at the fore. The Edition Hub chassis consists of four plates, rigidly bolted together. The side pieces are flawlessly aligned with the base using pins, with four long bolts subsequently torqued in for an exceptionally rigid fix, with a pleasing, precise fit and finish. Providing both requisite heat management and high design appeal, the primary vent of Edition Hub is precision-cut into its aluminium plate lid. The vent itself is evocative of a wave, with each aperture cut at an angle, and only every second one machined all the way through. When viewed from different angles, this wave motif morphs and ripples — with myriad reflections projected from its various finishes and surfaces.

Edition Hub features a much-improved, eye-catching control dial. Its precision, turned-stainless-steel bearing ensures silky, tactile rotation when adjusting volume; and the photo-etched steel halo around its edge allows cool, sharp light to emanate from the one hundred individual LEDs beneath. The dial proudly exhibits Linn’s “Clyde Built” epithet — a reverential nod to their Glasgow home’s industrial river, and the world-leading engineering which has emanated from its shores.

Edition Hub features an array of six, extruded anodised-aluminium ‘smart’ buttons, providing convenient, one-touch access to favourite playlists, artists, albums, or inputs. The buttons’ gratifying actuation encourages haptic interaction with your Selekt DSM. The all-glass fascia of Edition Hub is composed of mirrored spyglass; with the large-format display concealed behind it displaying crisp, clear information when necessary, and fading to total invisibility when not. Selekt DSM: Edition Hub possesses three stainless-steel feet, each impressed with a silicon ‘O’- ring which aids in decoupling from the surface on which they sit. Upon approach, an array of sensors rouse Selekt DSM: Edition Hub from its unobtrusive sleep; illuminating functional information through its mirrored glass fascia as one reaches for the gently glowing dial.

A broad range of connections on Edition Hub’s back panel ensures that it can receive, process and expertly deliver audio from any source imaginable; with a high-performance, integrated, analogue-to-digital conversion stage accepting anything from turntables to CD players, and a host of digital connections allowing connection from video streaming devices, games consoles, and Blu-ray players — ensuring you get the best possible sound from anything you connect to your Selekt DSM. Additionally, to provide optional bass reinforcement in your system, Edition Hub features stereo RCA line-out connectors designed to feed powered subwoofers.

Conveniently concealed on the enclosure’s left wall is a 1/4” headphone jack — providing Edition Hub with further welcome versatility, without disrupting the clean design of its frontal aspect. Edition Hub features, as standard, Linn’s all-new, exceptionally efficient, highly responsive, and precision-regulated power supply design — their best yet – Utopik. Edition Hub ships with up to 24bit/384kHz and DSD256 streaming capability. Edition Hub features Linn’s ground-breaking room-correction software – Space Optimisation – as standard. We will configure this for you to ensure that you only hear your system’s true sound and capability, and not the distortions caused by your room’s unique dimensions and construction. Selekt DSM: Edition Hub is available in either a natural silver- or black-anodised finish.

Who is Linn

Linn wants to bring you closer to the music you love, to feel every note, to experience your music with clarity and power, unlike anything you’ve ever heard. Their philosophy is simple too. Linn doesn’t make anything unless it’s better than what’s available elsewhere. For Linn, “good enough” isn’t good enough.

Every single system is built by hand in their Glasgow factory and bears the name of the person who made it. It’s built with precision and pride, designed for the future and engineered to extraordinarily tight tolerances. And of course, every product is rigorously tested before it leaves the factory in order to ensure that it delivers outstanding performance today and for many, many years to come.

A Linn system isn’t just something to enjoy now. It’s an investment that will enrich your whole life.
