Once KDSM Katalyst KDSM/2 is out it is likely to be better than KDS/Katalyst/1, much in the same way as the current KDSM/Katalyst is currently better than my KDS/2.
By doing this, all Research Development and perhaps Tooling costs, can be used for the single motherboard and going forward this will maybe save Linn money: as long as those wanting analogue out don't switch loyalties to companies like dCS - that's the risk.

Yup - KDSM/2 is current spec w/ Kat.Turnip wrote:I thought KDSM with Kat was the current spec?

KDS/3 is the current (and last) spec w/Kat.
The KDSM is one number behind because the KDS had a board upgrade to /1.
AEDSM (AKA ASH) -> AEBox10 -> M6100 + M2100 -> M140 + REL T5

Agreed - ignore above post which has been edited, and if the amended version is still confusing, I will just delete it.Turnip wrote:Ignore.u252agz wrote:I only guessing, but in the future I suspect that Linn would hope that those wanting the best streamer for 'analogue out' , go for the KDSM and switch off its DVC- something one can do with the current KDSM/katalyst.

Agree,Music Lover wrote: Modules decrease performance, so I hope Linn not going to use that in the Klimax range.
but have you seen how messy the inside of KDSM looks in comparison to KDS?
