The Classic Hub is the folded-aluminium chassis option for Linn's Selekt DSM network music player. It combines a streamer, analogue-to-digital input stage and MM/MC phono stage with a central dial and six programmable smart buttons.
This 2024 version has powder-coated aluminium casework on an 8 mm machined aluminium base, in a textured black or flat silver finish. Choose the listing option that matches your speakers and DAC level.
Why you will love it
Dial and smart buttons
A cut-glass central dial controls the system, and one hundred LEDs inside it show volume as a minimalist arc. Six machined stainless-steel smart buttons give one-touch access to favourite albums, stations or inputs.
Linn says these controls encourage physical interaction with your system.

Inputs for almost any source
Linn says the high-performance built-in analogue-to-digital stage accepts anything from turntables to CD players, with MM, MC and line-level RCA inputs. Digital connections include HDMI eARC, USB Type-B, SPDIF and optical Toslink, for video streaming devices, game consoles and Blu-ray players.
It streams from local network storage or services including Qobuz, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Spotify Connect and Roon Ready.
Subwoofer outputs and headphone amplifier
The Classic Hub has outputs dedicated to bass reinforcement of a subwoofer, plus an integrated headphone amplifier with a 1/4 inch jack.

Utopik power supply and Space Optimisation
Linn says the Utopik power supply is its best power supply design ever, with Valley Switching, Power Factor Correction and precision-regulated rails.
Linn's Space Optimisation room correction software is included as standard.
