Software Compatibility Families
System Compatibility
Linn takes a full system approach to compatibility. Compatibility Families are a way of controlling compatibility across many products in your home. For example, if you have both a Sneaky Music DS, a Klimax DS, a pre-amp, and a UPnP controller in your home, you should ensure that all products are in the same family to get the most out of your system.
You can find out what Compatibility Family your product is in by running the LinnConfig application or refering to the table below.
A product can be moved between Compatibility Families by applying the appropriate firmware or software release.
Upgrading
As a consequence of this system compatibility approach, when introducing additional Linn equipment into an existing system, all the components should be upgraded to the same family.
Before upgrading a product it is necessary to check all products in the system have a firmware release available for that family.
The Linn Config application will assist in identifying the current family of each product and availability of appropriate firmware releases.
