With this novel Organik DAC architecture, im plem entation, and realisation, Linn has finaly com pleted the puz le;theyhave achieved com plete control over the entire m usic signal chain — an am bition fiftyyearsin the m aking.
W hen em ployed together,the PW M m odulator and AFIR conversion stage are im m une to m any oftheproblem sthatafectotherdiscretedesigns — where sm alerorsin switching tim esor resistorvaluescan generate distortion. However,in orderto realise the ful potentialof thisconversionm ethod,greatatentionm ustalso be paid to otherfactors such as powersupply, clocking and, perhaps m ost im portantly, the physicallayoutofthe circuitboard. O rganik usesan 8-layercircuitboard,faciltating optim aldeliveryofpowerand clocksto the DAC. Powerforthe conversion stage isgenerated bya discrete regulator,and delivered using m ultiple internalpowerplanes. Clock tracesare m atched to within fractionsofa m ilim etre,to ensure thatevery partofthe DAC receives its clock atprecisely the sam e tim e.Al these elem ents work in harm ony to create an analog signalwith incredibly low levelsofnoise and distortion — farlowerthan anything Linn has everachieved before. • Orders can now be placed forOrganik DAC upgradesto alvariantsofKlim axDS and Klim ax DSM. •O rganikDAC upgradesforalvariantsofKlim ax Exaktbox and Klimax 350 integrated loudspeakersare also available. • Klim ax DSM (Audio and AV m odels),Klim ax Exaktbox, and Klimax 350 integrated loudspeakersbought new wilfeature O rganikDAC asstandard.
Gilad Tiefenbrun,Linn’sM anaging Director,said:
“O urcuting-edge O rganik DAC technology ofers a m as ive leap forward in perform ance.Today,we are delighted to m ake O rganik available as an upgrade to alKlim axstream ersboughtsince 2007. AtLinn,we take enorm ous pride in rewarding our existing customers through our sustainable, upgradeable productofering.” TechnicalDetail There are m any diferent types of‘discrete’DAC. Although sim ply m aking som ething ‘discrete’does not neces arily result in high perform ance. The perform ance advantage ofO rganik com es from its unique com bination of: • Modulation method – Pulse Width Modulation (PW M )Delta-Sigm a •Conversion stage –Discrete Analog Finite Im pulse Response (AFIR) • Im plem entation – Ultra-stable power, precision clocking,and expertPCB design
