Re: New Linn Launch 2022

From Thomas on another forum:

The upgrade is done on most units in the store but DS/0 and /1 and DSM/0 that haven't been upgraded previously will have to be returned to Linn in Scotland.

FYI - MinimServer 2.1 has just been released.

The major change is the introduction of Recently Added and Recently Played functionality in MinimServer.

Re: MinimServer 2?

I upgraded to MinimServer 2 and cannot say I noticed any difference in musicality. My main reason for the upgrade was to get my usage of MinimServer onto a commercial basis with Simon Nash, the developer. There is an initial one off fee then an annual subscription. A MinimServer 2 full license is GB...

Re: Linn Launch Event

I haven’t been impressed with the look of the NG DSM but in that collection it’s almost beautiful.

I’m from the less is more design philosophy, that room is very much from the more is more camp ;-)

Re: DS firmware - what is the lastest on the most musical one?

I’ve stuck with 67.262. Tried some of the later releases but fairly quickly go back. I tend to download all releases, beta and production, so I have them in case somebody says one I haven’t tried is good. But mostly I just don’t try them as there have been no new features that I must have. Problem w...

There is speculation on the Linn section of Wigwam that the lower bass speaker has been added after manufacture.
If you zoom in and look at the finish of the cabinet around the speakers, the lower bass speaker looks different and not as good as the other speakers.

But that only gets you one channel at 2009 prices. (And it is/was made locally)

Re: DS firmware - what is the lastest on the most musical one?

You can find the correct FW file by looking at the board type for your DS/DSM in Konfig. There is a 3 digit number in the middle of this string which matches the FW file. I can only assume Linn did this as they changed or upgraded boards without changing the model designation. PS: doing auto update ...

Re: Linn forum down?

It was through the forum that I heard about upgrades - Dynamik, Katalyst - and feedback from early adopters which persuaded me to either go ahead unheard or seek out a dealer who had Klimax kit on demo. And of course most of the support I received was from the forum rather than a dealer. So are Linn...

Similar initial experience here (MDSM + M140s placed asymmetrically in an irregular room). Based on a very quick try-out, the Optimisation Preference slider seems to be quite powerful. A modest slide to the right put quite a lot of bass back in for me. I suspect all it is doing is increasing gain o...
