Linn's newest product in their DS lineup, the Majik DS-I combines the performance of Linn's network music streamer, a pre-amplifier, and power amplifier all in one sleek, stylish chassis. In addition to the network streamer, there are 3 75-ohm SPDIF digital and 3 Toslink digital inputs, plus 4 analog inputs (one of which is a moving-magnet phono stage by default, but can be configured to a line-level input or a moving-coil phono input).
With the new Dynamik power supply from Linn built-in, the 100w amplifier is capable of driving most loudspeakers to a comfortable threshold in small to medium-sized rooms (just ask anyone in the Seattle showroom if I've put it to the test or not... it will play loud). And with a DS as a built-in source, the performance level of your digital music collection will be brought to a whole new level. Not to mention, in a system in which you are only using 2 speakers, but are integrating video components (game systems, cable/satellite boxes, Blu-ray players, etc.), the 6 digital inputs allow improved performance from all of your digital source components by using the internal DAC in the DS-I.
If you are in the market for a performance 2-channel system, and plan on integrating multiple digital sources and streaming music from your network, come check out the DS-I! It might just be the ticket.
