Linn Network Music Players - The Beating Heart of Any Audio System
Why the Source Comes First in High-End Audio
Nearly 50 years ago, Linn’s visionary founder, Ivor Tiefenbrun, made a bold statement: the source is the most important element in any high-end audio system. At the time, many doubted him, but today the entire audio world embraces the philosophy — because as the saying goes: garbage in, garbage out.
At Authentic High End, we are firm believers in Linn’s Source First approach. The quality of sound is determined by the amount of musical information retrieved at the very start of the chain. If information is lost at the source, no amplifier or loudspeaker — no matter how exceptional — can bring it back.
Linn Network Music Players – More Than Just Streamers
Linn’s network music players embody the Source First philosophy perfectly. Far more than ordinary components, they are all-in-one high-end solutions with a built-in streamer and preamplifier, designed to be the beating heart of any audio system.
By placing a Linn source at the center of your setup, you ensure the highest possible quality of signal flows through the rest of your system — setting the stage for an extraordinary listening experience.
Unmatched Flexibility and Connectivity
Since launching their first music streamer in 2007, Linn has continually redefined what digital music playback can achieve. Every network player is meticulously engineered to deliver original Studio Master quality in your own home.
They integrate seamlessly with your home network and support a wide range of listening options:
Stream music directly from the cloud
Play ripped CDs from your computer or NAS
Enjoy full Roon compatibility
AirPlay from your iPad or iPhone
Connect physical sources, from Blu-ray players to turntables
Every connected source benefits from Linn’s precision engineering, ensuring that every minute detail is preserved.
Future-Proof by Design
A Linn network music player is an investment that grows with you. All models are designed to be upgradeable, meaning new features, streaming services, and even performance improvements can be added over time — often free of charge.
