<hr />
<div>==Space Optimisation==<br />
===Do I need a to Tune-Dem and setup the speakers first===<br />
YES, you will have to find the best, most tune full position of the speakers BEFORE using Space Optimisation. Space optimisation will then improve the tune.<br />
<br />
===How Do I erase a speaker setup from Konfig for Space Optimisation===<br />
All you have to do is turn OFF Space Optimisation, the selected speaker will still be shown but will have NO effect on the sound.<br />
<br />
===Will Space Optimisation work on External inputs (from my LP12?) on the Linn DSM===<br />
Space optimisation will work on all Linn DSM external inputs (Analogue/Toslink/SPDIF).<br><br />
Space Optimisation can be turned OFF on specific external inputs using Konfig > Source > Source name > "Digital Features" = "OFF"<br />
<br />
===Can I use Space Optimisation on 2 or more pairs of speakers?===<br />
Space Optimisation is only designed to work with 1 speaker in each location. That is front left, front right, centre, surround left...<br><br />
Space will not work if you have two front left speakers, two front right speakers etc.<br />
<br />
===Does Space Optimisation work on the Headphones socket?===<br />
No Space Optimisation is for your Room operation, the headphone socket playback has Space Optimisation disabled<br />
<br />
===Does Space Optimisation work on the SPDIF or TOSLINK output sockets?===<br />
No Space Optimisation is only available on the Analogue and EXAKT-LINK outputs.<br />
<br />
==Akurate Katalyst FAQ's==<br />
<br />
===I have a Akurate DS/DSM and Akurate ExaktBox10 what can I upgrade to Katalyst?===<br />
<br />
If you are not using the Analogue outputs on Akurate DS/DSM then you only need the upgrade for the Exakt products (Akurate ExaktBox6/10, Akudorik, AkuBariks, Dorik stands).<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' if you are using an Exakt system, updating the Akurate DS/DSM with Katalyst will make no difference to the audio quality from the ExaktBoxes or Exakt speakers.<br />
<br />
==EXAKT ENGINE==<br />
[https://www.linn.co.uk/technology/exakt Exakt technology] brings natural sound to the listener.<br><br />
One Exakt Engine is designed for the signal processing for one loudspeaker.<br><br />
The Engine will:<br><br />
:# Take the digital stream is then split up to send to the correct speaker drive unit with that loudspeaker.(Bass, mid, tweeter etc). <br><br />
:# Each speaker drive unit feed is then adjusted in gain level to match the speaker drive unit performance and any Space Optimisation adjustments<br />
:# Finally, each speaker drive unit audio delivers a linear phase performance across all the frequencies to ensure they arrive at your ear perfectly synchronised.<br />
<br />
The [[Klimax_Exaktbox_Variants|Klimax Exaktbox]] & [[Akurate_ExaktBox|Akurate Exaktbox6]] have one Exakt Engine with six audio channels.<br><br />
The [[Akurate_ExaktBox|Akurate Exaktbox10]] and [[Majik_ExaktBox-I|Majik Exaktbox-I]] have two Exakt Engines. The Akurate Exaktbox10 has 5channels per Engine. The Majik Exaktbox-I has 4channels per Engine.<br><br />
<br />
==Exakt audio==<br />
On Linn DS/DSM products you can have audio on both Exakt and analogue audio outputs. However, by default, this is disabled and if you have Exakt speakers/ExaktBox connected the audio is muted from the analogue output.<br><br />
To have both analogue and Exakt audio at the same time, go into Konfig > DEVICE > ADVANCED to enable Dual Analogue/Exakt Stereo Output.<br><br />
Note: the only difference is that the Exakt audio is delayed by approx 40mS compared to the Analogue output due to the digital processing.<br />
<br />
The only other time that the Exakt audio outputs are disabled is when the Internal volume control is turned OFF<br />
<br />
==Subwoofer use in a Linn DS/DSM system==<br />
<br />
===Exaktbox Sub===<br />
'''The Exaktbox Sub can only be used with Exakt speakers/Exaktbox(es).'''<br><br />
If you only have speakers connected via analogue connections to the Linn DS/DS and try and also use the Exaktbox sub Config will only allow you to setup Space Optimisation+ on the Exaktbox Sub. You will not be able to use Space Optimisation on the analogue outputs with an Exaktbox and or Exakt speaker connected.<br><br />
<br />
===Non Exakt system===<br />
In Space Optimisation > Room Setup you can add "Additional Subwoofers"<br><br />
This will allow you to add subwoofers into the Room and position them within the room. You can then Optimise and adjust the Room modes accordingly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==DSD file playback on the Linn DS/DSM==<br />
From '''Davaar60''' Linn DS/DSM players with '''Katalyst''' DAC's will be able to play DSD audio files. This is performed by passing the native DSD stream directly to the Katalyst DAC's and letting the DAC do the processing and volume control. <br><br />
Some important points on DSD playback on the Linn DS/DSM:<br><br />
* If your Linn DS/DSM does not have '''Katalyst''' DACs, it will ''never'' be able to play DSD audio files directly. <br><br><br />
* '''The DSD audio is ONLY available on the Linn DS/DSM analogue outputs'''. <br><br />
:The DSD audio stream is '''NOT''' present on:<br />
::* Exakt-link to Exakt speakers or Exaktbox. That is, '''DSD files will NOT play on Exakt speakers or Exaktboxes.'''<br><br />
::* digital outputs. (TOSLINK, SPDIF)<br><br />
::* Songcast to other Linn DS/DSM players<br><br><br />
* Supports '''DSD64''' (2.8224MHz) and '''DSD128''' (5.6448MHz) sample rates. DSD256 is NOT supported.<br />
:These in the following formats:<br><br />
:* DSF - Sony format that supports ID3 tags<br><br />
:* DFF - old Philips mastering format (aka DSDIFF)<br><br><br />
* No digital signal processing is possible. This will:<br><br />
** No balance control is possible to DSD audio file playback.<br><br />
** No Space Optimisation is applied to DSD audio file playback<br><br />
** Maximum volume is restricted to 80 (unity gain) on DSD audio file playback. However if you have raised to volume to a higher level e.g. 90, this higher volume is applied to any tracks that are NOT DSD audio files.<br><br><br />
<br />
Linn Kazoo Server supports the index and serving of DSD files. Non-indexed DFF files that have no metadata can be browsed by file name using the Kazoo Server Removable drives option. <br><br />
Asset UPnP server and Minimserver support DSD index and serving to the Linn DS/DSM.<br><br />

Note:<br><br />
<sup>1</sup> All these Analogue outputs are '''Line level''' or '''Volume control''' with the [[Konfig_Manual|Konfig]] - Volume Control option <br />
<br><br />
<sup>2</sup> Output is either volume controlled or OFF<br />
<br><br />
<sup>3</sup> Kiko has Aktiv speaker output, this is a separate power amplifier per speaker drive (2off driver units per Kiko speaker) giving a total of 50W per channel<br />
<br><br />
<sup>4</sup> The Sekrit DSM can be configured as bridge or single ended. This can drive, in stereo with common volume control, either 4off speakers with 33W/4R RMS power each or 2off speakers with 50W/8R RMS each.<br><br />
<sup>5</sup> For use with Basik3/Basik3-IR Room Control Units<br><br />
<sup>6</sup> One input can be configured for use with Turntable. <br />
:: Line Level / Moving Magnet [Majik-factory set] / Moving Coil (Akurate-Factory set]) refer to dealer for options<br />
<sup>7</sup> The Sneaky DSM can be only configured as single ended. This can drive, in stereo with common volume control, either 4off speakers with 33W RMS power each,(for Bi-Amping), or 2off speakers with 33W RMS each.<br><br />
<sup>8</sup> Maximum input sample rate 96KHz (Stereo PCM)<br><br />
<sup>9</sup> Maximum output sample rate 192KHz (Stereo PCM)(However the official specification for TOSLINK/SPDIF is 96kHz so check your digital receiver can take up to 192K data stream)<br><br />
<sup>11</sup> PRE-OUT can be make POWER Amplfier input for use as additional amplifier for ExaktBoxes. Konfigurable in Konfig<br><br />
<sup>12</sup> Exakt-Link output are delayed by approx 45mS compared to Analogue/Toslink/SPDIF outputs. When the volume control is disabled, the Exakt-link sockets are disabled<br><br />
<sup>13</sup> Can be configured in Konfig application to change the Default SPDIF Input a SPDIF output<br><br />

== How do I turn OFF speakers in Space optimisation? ==<br />
In Konfig, Space Optimisation and hit the '''"TURN OFF"''', this will disable ALL Optimisation for that speaker and return the Music back to the unadjusted level.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Differences between the Sekrit DSM and Sneaky DSM ==<br />
'''Sekrit DSM''' has<br />
#A chassis (case) that can be mounted in a 19” (RAKK-SNKMDS) with power switch & Fallback on the front of the case<br />
#Indicator leds to give the operational/connection status of the Sekrit DSM<br />
#Can be used with BASIK-3 or BASIK-3-IR RCU<br />
#The option to screw an IR emitter over DSM IR receiver. This is intended for IR repeater control interface whilst the Sekrit DSM is hidden.<br />
# Full range Power Amplifier with the (Configured in Konfig)<br />
::a. Single ended option of 4x33W. For driving two pairs of in-wall/in-ceiling speakers with common volume control.<br />
::b. Bridged mode of 2x50W. For driving one pair of speakers. (This requires wiring the Nuetrik plug for bridged mode)<br />
<br />
'''Sneaky DSM''' has<br />
# A chassis (case) for table top positioning with side power switch. Fallback button on rear connector panel<br />
# Front panel power indicator that flashes when IR command is being received or in boot mode awaiting a DHCP address.<br />
# Full range Power Amplifier with the (Configured in Konfig)<br />
::a. Single ended option of 2x33W. For driving one pair of speakers in single amp mode.<br />
::b. Single ended option of 4x33W. For driving one pair of speakers in Bi-AMP mode.<br />
<br />
== Tidal internet streaming ==<br />
<br />
This will work with Linn DS/DSM products running Davaar23 firmware. This can be updated using the '''Konfig''' software.<br />
To create and add Tidal tracks to a Linn DS/DSM playlist you require Kazoo UI version 4.3.653 or higher.<br />
<br />
Tidal is supported in countries listed [https://tidalsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202052531-HiFi-Partner-country-availability HERE] on the Tidal website<br />
<br />
The Tidal is broadcast from the Internet straight to the Linn DS/DSM. This means that the control point does not need to be powered on.<br />
<br />

<br />
Music on the Playlist can be Tidal Music mixed with local UPnP Media server music. That is, the Music can be local music and Tidal music in your Playlist<br />
<br />
==NetAux streaming==<br />
The DS NetAux input uses UDP for streaming audio based on the RTSP network control protocol<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==Spotify Connect streaming==<br />
Documentation for using Spotify Connect with a DS can be found here: [[SpotifyConnect]].<br />
<br />
== Linn DSM products with HDMI Audio pass-thro and surround processing ==<br />
Check [http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=13511&pid=153826#pid153826 Linn forum link]<br><br />
Release Davaar 4.2.3 (14th Oct 2011)<br />
The Linn DSM products HDMI output will:-<br><br />
1. Pass-throu the HDMI audio when the Linn DSM is in Standby.<br><br />
2. Pass-throu the HDMI audio when the Linn DSM is listening to an Analogue or Digital Audio input.<br><br />
3. BLOCK the HDMI audio to the TV if the the DSM is listening to a HDMI input.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
From Davaar50 (Sept 2016) the 'stripped' surround audio is no longer fed out of the Linn DSM - HDMI OUT to a surround processor. This is now processed with Exakt speakers, check [[Surround_Sound#Speaker_Setup | Surround speaker setup]].<br><br />
The HDMI pass-throu and HDMI block still occur as above.<br />
<br />
== Can I control the Linn DS/DSM using Alexa ==<br />
YES! Check https://skills-store.amazon.co.uk/deeplink/dp/B07H59QD82?deviceType=app&share&refSuffix=ss_copy for more information.<br />
<br />
== Can I turn off the Volume control in the DSI or DSM to make them source only ==<br />
Yes in Konfig Volume options give you the full line level volume out. However this will disable the internal power amplifier for obvious reasons (No volume control)<br />
<br />
== How can I search for my DS without using Kazoo, Kinsky or Konfig ==<br />
Use [http://www.apple.com/safari/ Safari web browser] and click on the Bookmarks icon.<br />
Then select the Bonjour collection. This will show you all of the devices, (including the DS) that are using the Bonjour.<br><br />
Click on the Bonjour listing and this will show you the web-interface control and Konfig options<br />
<br />
== What is a DS player? ==<br />
<br />
A DS player is an open digital music player from Linn. It is a source product, like a CD player, but rather than retrieving music from a CD, it retrieves music from a standard Ethernet network. See [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Introduction_To_DS_Concepts Introduction to DS concepts].<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can the DS player play multi-channel files? ==<br />
<br />
No, the Klimax DS, Akurate DS, Majik DS, Majik DSi, Sneaky Music DS and Sekrit DSi are stereo only.<br><br />
<br />
Klimax DSM, Akurate DSM & Majik DSM can play multi-channel audio from their HDMI inputs if they are using Davaar55 or later software.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What Linn PreAmplifiers can the DS products control? ==<br />
<br />
Bute, Cara and Davaar software can control:-<br />
<br />
* Klimax Kontrol<br />
* Akurate Kontrol<br />
* Majik Kontrol<br />
* Majik-I<br />
* Kinos<br />
* Kisto<br />
* Unidisk SC<br />
* Classik Movie (from 2006 manufacture)<br />
* Classik Music (from 2008 manufacture)<br />
<br />
Some of these products may need their software updated to allow the DS products to control them.<br />
<br />
Earlier Linn pre-amplifiers cannot be controlled by the DS products.<br />
<br />
An Exotik+DA which has been updated to run Akurate Kontrol firmware can be controlled in the same way as an Akurate Kontrol. An Exotik (non-DA) may respond to on/off commands but not volume or source if identified as a Klimax Kontrol, but this is not an officially supported feature.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What makes the DS players open? ==<br />
<br />
They have open standard interfaces as follows:<br />
<br />
* Standard Ethernet input, and standard audio outputs<br />
* Support the open UPnP AV 1.0 specification for control<br />
* Support for open file formats (e.g. FLAC)<br />
* It is possible, and actively encouraged by Linn, for individuals and third parties to write applications that utilise the DS.<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How does music get onto a standard Ethernet network in the first place? ==<br />
<br />
From a network attached hard drive. This may be within a standard PC or Mac, or can be a dedicated device called a NAS, which stands for Network Attached Storage. For data security and data availability a low-power dedicated NAS is recommended.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How do I get my music onto a NAS? ==<br />
<br />
See [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Ripping Ripping]<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Will downloaded music play on the DS players? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, so long as it is not protected by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management Digital Rights Managemant] (DRM) restrictions and is in one of the supported formats, or transcoded to such a format<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How can I access my iTunes library from Kinsky? ==<br />
<br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyWindowsDavaarManual#iTunes Windows]<br><br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyMacDavaarManual#iTunes Mac OS X]<br />
<br />
The other, and better option, is to use [http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/Songbox_4.3_DavaarManual#iTunes Songbox-iTunes]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How can I access my iTunes library from IPad/iPhone==<br />
You can use a iPad/iPhone app called REMOTE. This will allow you to remotely control the iTunes running on your home computer.<br />
Using the iTunes you can use Airplay to broadcast to the Linn DS using the NetAux input.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I Airplay from my Android device ==<br />
Without ROOTING the android device there is no way to stream to the Linn DS (Airplay AOA Service).<br />
All other apps take the media file and stream it via UPnP.<br />
<br />
Streaming local files can be done use Skifta and “Double Twist Player”<br />
<br />

== How can I access my Music Folder on my computer from Kinsky Desktop? ==<br />
<br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyWindowsDavaarManual#Folder Windows]<br><br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyMacDavaarManual#Folder Mac OS X]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can the NAS be used for other purposes? ==<br />
<br />
Yes. The NAS can be accessed and used by any ethernet connected device.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Should the NAS be backed up? ==<br />
<br />
You should back up all your data. RAID, which is built into many NAS devices, protects against the failure of a single drive ''ONLY''. A full backup should be created using a USB attached external drive or similar, and kept synchronised with the NAS.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Does the NAS have to be in the same room as the DS player? ==<br />
<br />
No, as long as both the NAS and the DS player are connected to the same Ethernet network, the DS player will retrieve music from the NAS.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What should I do if my CD collection is too big to fit on one NAS? ==<br />
<br />
Add more or larger drives to the NAS, or use multiple NAS devices and split collection across them.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I create a DS player multi-room system? ==<br />
<br />
Yes. You can have several DS players running from one NAS, with concurrent, independent access to the stored music.<br />
<br />
With Linn DS/DSM products with using Davaar software, this allows simultaneous playback of the same Music in many rooms<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Should I use wired or wireless Ethernet? ==<br />
<br />
Wired. There is no guaranteed quality of service over wireless networks. When streaming music the information must arrive at the DS player in a predictable way to avoid audio drop-out.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How should I control a DS player? ==<br />
<br />
There are a variety of options available, dependent on personal hardware and software preferences, for controlling a DS. Linn recommends using Linn [https://www.linn.co.uk/software software]. <br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can other UPnP controllers operate the DS players? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, so long as they conform to the UPnP AV specification, although with a reduced feature set. <br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What audio formats do the DS players support? ==<br />
<br />
DS products support<br />
* FLAC Up to 192k 24bit<br />
* WAV<br />
* AIFF<br />
* AIFC<br />
* MP3<br />
* AAC<br />
* WMA (lossy)<br />
* OGG VORBIS<br />
* OGG FLAC<br />
* ALAC upto 192K 24bit [If these ALAC files were generated by an early version of dBpowerAmp the Linn DS will not recognise these. Transcode these files to ALAC using the latest version of dBPowerAmp to fix this.]<br />
<br />
<br />
Linn recommends FLAC.<br />
<br />
DRM protected files cannot be played on the DS products<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Why does Linn recommend FLAC? ==<br />
<br />
# FLAC is a free open format. It is non-proprietary, which means your music collection is safeguarded for the future, can be played through any open digital music player, and is not tied to a particular manufacturer or product. The specification is published for all to see. In contrast, SACD has failed to achieve significant success because it requires proprietary music content and disc players with proprietary hardware inside.<br />
# FLAC allows even better than CD quality encoding and decoding. [http://www.LinnRecords.com Linn Records] provides studio master quality downloads in FLAC, at the same quality as SACD.<br />
# FLAC supports metadata, or tags, so that useful information about a piece of music can be stored with the music; for example, album, artist, genre, cover art, sleeve notes, etc. User interfaces can make good use of these tags. Two examples of applications that support tag editing are: [http://www.mp3tag.de/en Mp3tag] (Windows) and [http://sbooth.org/Tag/ Tag] (Mac)<br />
<br />
# Because it is open and free, there are an extensive set of players, tools, transcoders (to convert between other formats and FLAC), tag editors, and other programs for FLAC.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Do I have to use a NAS or can I use my existing PC/Mac hard drive? ==<br />
<br />
You can install a UPnP Media Server on your existing PC/Mac and use your existing PC/Mac hard drive if you wish.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I run a UPnP server as SqueezeCenter on the same NAS? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, you can, and they can both access the same audio files.<br />
<br />
Additionally you can use SqueezeCenter and Squeezeboxes to control and media-serve your DS players using the [http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/SkweezyDs SkweezyDs plugin]<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What are the firewall settings required for Kazoo/Kinsky/Konfig operation? ==<br />
<br />
For firewalls which support 'exceptions-by-program' (such as Windows Firewall on XP and Vista), add the executable to the exceptions list. However where the firewall requires setting of absolute port addresses for exceptions the following ranges are required<br />
<br />
* Port '''1900''' (UDP)<br />
* Port '''2869''' (TCP)<br />
* Ports '''49152 – 65535''' (TCP & UDP)<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How do I achieve gapless playback for live albums? ==<br />
<br />
To guarantee gapless playback, you will need to rip your music tracks into a lossless format (i.e. FLAC). You must also ensure that you are using ripping software that does not add gaps between tracks when ripping (i.e. DBPoweramp). Most ripping software will offer the option to turn this feature off.<br />

<hr />
<div>==Space Optimisation==<br />
===Do I need a to Tune-Dem and setup the speakers first===<br />
YES, you will have to find the best, most tune full position of the speakers BEFORE using Space Optimisation. Space optimisation will then improve the tune.<br />
<br />
===How Do I erase a speaker setup from Konfig for Space Optimisation===<br />
All you have to do is turn OFF Space Optimisation, the selected speaker will still be shown but will have NO effect on the sound.<br />
<br />
===Will Space Optimisation work on External inputs (from my LP12?) on the Linn DSM===<br />
Space optimisation will work on all Linn DSM external inputs (Analogue/Toslink/SPDIF).<br><br />
Space Optimisation can be turned OFF on specific external inputs using Konfig > Source > Source name > "Digital Features" = "OFF"<br />
<br />
===Can I use Space Optimisation on 2 or more pairs of speakers?===<br />
Space Optimisation is only designed to work with 1 speaker in each location. That is front left, front right, centre, surround left...<br><br />
Space will not work if you have two front left speakers, two front right speakers etc.<br />
<br />
===Does Space Optimisation work on the Headphones socket?===<br />
No Space Optimisation is for your Room operation, the headphone socket playback has Space Optimisation disabled<br />
<br />
===Does Space Optimisation work on the SPDIF or TOSLINK output sockets?===<br />
No Space Optimisation is only available on the Analogue and EXAKT-LINK outputs.<br />
<br />
==Akurate Katalyst FAQ's==<br />
<br />
===I have a Akurate DS/DSM and Akurate ExaktBox10 what can I upgrade to Katalyst?===<br />
<br />
If you are not using the Analogue outputs on Akurate DS/DSM then you only need the upgrade for the Exakt products (Akurate ExaktBox6/10, Akudorik, AkuBariks, Dorik stands).<br><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Note:''' if you are using an Exakt system, updating the Akurate DS/DSM with Katalyst will make no difference to the audio quality from the ExaktBoxes or Exakt speakers.<br />
<br />
==EXAKT ENGINE==<br />
[https://www.linn.co.uk/technology/exakt Exakt technology] brings natural sound to the listener.<br><br />
One Exakt Engine is designed for the signal processing for one loudspeaker.<br><br />
The Engine will:<br><br />
:# Take the digital stream is then split up to send to the correct speaker drive unit with that loudspeaker.(Bass, mid, tweeter etc). <br><br />
:# Each speaker drive unit feed is then adjusted in gain level to match the speaker drive unit performance and any Space Optimisation adjustments<br />
:# Finally, each speaker drive unit audio delivers a linear phase performance across all the frequencies to ensure they arrive at your ear perfectly synchronised.<br />
<br />
The [[Klimax_Exaktbox_Variants|Klimax Exaktbox]] & [[Akurate_ExaktBox|Akurate Exaktbox6]] have one Exakt Engine with six audio channels.<br><br />
The [[Akurate_ExaktBox|Akurate Exaktbox10]] and [[Majik_ExaktBox-I|Majik Exaktbox-I]] have two Exakt Engines. The Akurate Exaktbox10 has 5channels per Engine. The Majik Exaktbox-I has 4channels per Engine.<br><br />
<br />
==Exakt audio==<br />
On Linn DS/DSM products you can have audio on both Exakt and analogue audio outputs. However, by default, this is disabled and if you have Exakt speakers/ExaktBox connected the audio is muted from the analogue output.<br><br />
To have both analogue and Exakt audio at the same time, go into Konfig > DEVICE > ADVANCED to enable Dual Analogue/Exakt Stereo Output.<br><br />
Note: the only difference is that the Exakt audio is delayed by approx 40mS compared to the Analogue output due to the digital processing.<br />
<br />
The only other time that the Exakt audio outputs are disabled is when the Internal volume control is turned OFF<br />
<br />
==Subwoofer use in a Linn DS/DSM system==<br />
<br />
===Exaktbox Sub===<br />
'''The Exaktbox Sub can only be used with Exakt speakers/Exaktbox(es).'''<br><br />
If you only have speakers connected via analogue connections to the Linn DS/DS and try and also use the Exaktbox sub Config will only allow you to setup Space Optimisation+ on the Exaktbox Sub. You will not be able to use Space Optimisation on the analogue outputs with an Exaktbox and or Exakt speaker connected.<br><br />
<br />
===Non Exakt system===<br />
In Space Optimisation > Room Setup you can add "Additional Subwoofers"<br><br />
This will allow you to add subwoofers into the Room and position them within the room. You can then Optimise and adjust the Room modes accordingly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==DSD file playback on the Linn DS/DSM==<br />
From '''Davaar60''' Linn DS/DSM players with '''Katalyst''' DAC's will be able to play DSD audio files. This is performed by passing the native DSD stream directly to the Katalyst DAC's and letting the DAC do the processing and volume control. <br><br />
Some important points on DSD playback on the Linn DS/DSM:<br><br />
* If your Linn DS/DSM does not have '''Katalyst''' DACs, it will ''never'' be able to play DSD audio files directly. <br><br><br />
* '''The DSD audio is ONLY available on the Linn DS/DSM analogue outputs'''. <br><br />
:The DSD audio stream is '''NOT''' present on:<br />
::* Exakt-link to Exakt speakers or Exaktbox. That is, '''DSD files will NOT play on Exakt speakers or Exaktboxes.'''<br><br />
::* digital outputs. (TOSLINK, SPDIF)<br><br />
::* Songcast to other Linn DS/DSM players<br><br><br />
* Supports '''DSD64''' (2.8224MHz) and '''DSD128''' (5.6448MHz) sample rates. DSD256 is NOT supported.<br />
:These in the following formats:<br><br />
:* DSF - Sony format that supports ID3 tags<br><br />
:* DFF - old Philips mastering format (aka DSDIFF)<br><br><br />
* No digital signal processing is possible. This will:<br><br />
** No balance control is possible to DSD audio file playback.<br><br />
** No Space Optimisation is applied to DSD audio file playback<br><br />
** Maximum volume is restricted to 80 (unity gain) on DSD audio file playback. However if you have raised to volume to a higher level e.g. 90, this higher volume is applied to any tracks that are NOT DSD audio files.<br><br><br />
<br />
Linn Kazoo Server supports the index and serving of DSD files. Non-indexed DFF files that have no metadata can be browsed by file name using the Kazoo Server Removable drives option. <br><br />
Asset UPnP server and Minimserver support DSD index and serving to the Linn DS/DSM.<br><br />

Note:<br><br />
<sup>1</sup> All these Analogue outputs are '''Line level''' or '''Volume control''' with the [[Konfig_Manual|Konfig]] - Volume Control option <br />
<br><br />
<sup>2</sup> Output is either volume controlled or OFF<br />
<br><br />
<sup>3</sup> Kiko has Aktiv speaker output, this is a separate power amplifier per speaker drive (2off driver units per Kiko speaker) giving a total of 50W per channel<br />
<br><br />
<sup>4</sup> The Sekrit DSM can be configured as bridge or single ended. This can drive, in stereo with common volume control, either 4off speakers with 33W/4R RMS power each or 2off speakers with 50W/8R RMS each.<br><br />
<sup>5</sup> For use with Basik3/Basik3-IR Room Control Units<br><br />
<sup>6</sup> One input can be configured for use with Turntable. <br />
:: Line Level / Moving Magnet [Majik-factory set] / Moving Coil (Akurate-Factory set]) refer to dealer for options<br />
<sup>7</sup> The Sneaky DSM can be only configured as single ended. This can drive, in stereo with common volume control, either 4off speakers with 33W RMS power each,(for Bi-Amping), or 2off speakers with 33W RMS each.<br><br />
<sup>8</sup> Maximum input sample rate 96KHz (Stereo PCM)<br><br />
<sup>9</sup> Maximum output sample rate 192KHz (Stereo PCM)(However the official specification for TOSLINK/SPDIF is 96kHz so check your digital receiver can take up to 192K data stream)<br><br />
<sup>11</sup> PRE-OUT can be make POWER Amplfier input for use as additional amplifier for ExaktBoxes. Konfigurable in Konfig<br><br />
<sup>12</sup> Exakt-Link output are delayed by approx 45mS compared to Analogue/Toslink/SPDIF outputs. When the volume control is disabled, the Exakt-link sockets are disabled<br><br />
<sup>13</sup> Can be configured in Konfig application to change the Default SPDIF Input a SPDIF output<br><br />

== How do I turn OFF speakers in Space optimisation? ==<br />
In Konfig, Space Optimisation and hit the '''"TURN OFF"''', this will disable ALL Optimisation for that speaker and return the Music back to the unadjusted level.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Differences between the Sekrit DSM and Sneaky DSM ==<br />
'''Sekrit DSM''' has<br />
#A chassis (case) that can be mounted in a 19” (RAKK-SNKMDS) with power switch & Fallback on the front of the case<br />
#Indicator leds to give the operational/connection status of the Sekrit DSM<br />
#Can be used with BASIK-3 or BASIK-3-IR RCU<br />
#The option to screw an IR emitter over DSM IR receiver. This is intended for IR repeater control interface whilst the Sekrit DSM is hidden.<br />
# Full range Power Amplifier with the (Configured in Konfig)<br />
::a. Single ended option of 4x33W. For driving two pairs of in-wall/in-ceiling speakers with common volume control.<br />
::b. Bridged mode of 2x50W. For driving one pair of speakers. (This requires wiring the Nuetrik plug for bridged mode)<br />
<br />
'''Sneaky DSM''' has<br />
# A chassis (case) for table top positioning with side power switch. Fallback button on rear connector panel<br />
# Front panel power indicator that flashes when IR command is being received or in boot mode awaiting a DHCP address.<br />
# Full range Power Amplifier with the (Configured in Konfig)<br />
::a. Single ended option of 2x33W. For driving one pair of speakers in single amp mode.<br />
::b. Single ended option of 4x33W. For driving one pair of speakers in Bi-AMP mode.<br />
<br />
== Tidal internet streaming ==<br />
<br />
This will work with Linn DS/DSM products running Davaar23 firmware. This can be updated using the '''Konfig''' software.<br />
To create and add Tidal tracks to a Linn DS/DSM playlist you require Kazoo UI version 4.3.653 or higher.<br />
<br />
Tidal is supported in countries listed [https://tidalsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202052531-HiFi-Partner-country-availability HERE] on the Tidal website<br />
<br />
The Tidal is broadcast from the Internet straight to the Linn DS/DSM. This means that the control point does not need to be powered on.<br />
<br />
=== Tidal 90day free voucher ===<br />
:Note: This trial is only available to '''''new''''' Tidal subscribers.<br />
:You can get a free 90day trial voucher from Linn by:<br />

:# When you have a Password, enter your Email and password into the Kazoo Tidal request window. This will open the your selection window. Use this like a UPnP Media and add the Music on the Playlist in the same manner.<br />
<br />
Music on the Playlist can be Tidal Music mixed with local UPnP Media server music. That is, the Music can be local music and Tidal music in your Playlist<br />
<br />
==NetAux streaming==<br />
The DS NetAux input uses UDP for streaming audio based on the RTSP network control protocol<br />
<br><br />
<br />
==Spotify Connect streaming==<br />
Documentation for using Spotify Connect with a DS can be found here: [[SpotifyConnect]].<br />
<br />
== Linn DSM products with HDMI Audio pass-thro and surround processing ==<br />
Check [http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=13511&pid=153826#pid153826 Linn forum link]<br><br />
Release Davaar 4.2.3 (14th Oct 2011)<br />
The Linn DSM products HDMI output will:-<br><br />
1. Pass-throu the HDMI audio when the Linn DSM is in Standby.<br><br />
2. Pass-throu the HDMI audio when the Linn DSM is listening to an Analogue or Digital Audio input.<br><br />
3. BLOCK the HDMI audio to the TV if the the DSM is listening to a HDMI input.<br />
<br><br />
<br />
From Davaar50 (Sept 2016) the 'stripped' surround audio is no longer fed out of the Linn DSM - HDMI OUT to a surround processor. This is now processed with Exakt speakers, check [[Surround_Sound#Speaker_Setup | Surround speaker setup]].<br><br />
The HDMI pass-throu and HDMI block still occur as above.<br />
<br />
== Can I control the Linn DS/DSM using Alexa ==<br />
YES! Check [https://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=37830&pid=453351#pid453351 Linn Forum link] for more information.<br />
<br />
== Can I turn off the Volume control in the DSI or DSM to make them source only ==<br />
Yes in Konfig Volume options give you the full line level volume out. However this will disable the internal power amplifier for obvious reasons (No volume control)<br />
<br />
== How can I search for my DS without using Kazoo, Kinsky or Konfig ==<br />
Use [http://www.apple.com/safari/ Safari web browser] and click on the Bookmarks icon.<br />
Then select the Bonjour collection. This will show you all of the devices, (including the DS) that are using the Bonjour.<br><br />
Click on the Bonjour listing and this will show you the web-interface control and Konfig options<br />
<br />
== What is a DS player? ==<br />
<br />
A DS player is an open digital music player from Linn. It is a source product, like a CD player, but rather than retrieving music from a CD, it retrieves music from a standard Ethernet network. See [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Introduction_To_DS_Concepts Introduction to DS concepts].<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can the DS player play multi-channel files? ==<br />
<br />
No, the Klimax DS, Akurate DS, Majik DS, Majik DSi, Sneaky Music DS and Sekrit DSi are stereo only.<br><br />
<br />
Klimax DSM, Akurate DSM & Majik DSM can play multi-channel audio from their HDMI inputs if they are using Davaar55 or later software.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What Linn PreAmplifiers can the DS products control? ==<br />
<br />
Bute, Cara and Davaar software can control:-<br />
<br />
* Klimax Kontrol<br />
* Akurate Kontrol<br />
* Majik Kontrol<br />
* Majik-I<br />
* Kinos<br />
* Kisto<br />
* Unidisk SC<br />
* Classik Movie (from 2006 manufacture)<br />
* Classik Music (from 2008 manufacture)<br />
<br />
Some of these products may need their software updated to allow the DS products to control them.<br />
<br />
Earlier Linn pre-amplifiers cannot be controlled by the DS products.<br />
<br />
An Exotik+DA which has been updated to run Akurate Kontrol firmware can be controlled in the same way as an Akurate Kontrol. An Exotik (non-DA) may respond to on/off commands but not volume or source if identified as a Klimax Kontrol, but this is not an officially supported feature.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What makes the DS players open? ==<br />
<br />
They have open standard interfaces as follows:<br />
<br />
* Standard Ethernet input, and standard audio outputs<br />
* Support the open UPnP AV 1.0 specification for control<br />
* Support for open file formats (e.g. FLAC)<br />
* It is possible, and actively encouraged by Linn, for individuals and third parties to write applications that utilise the DS.<br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How does music get onto a standard Ethernet network in the first place? ==<br />
<br />
From a network attached hard drive. This may be within a standard PC or Mac, or can be a dedicated device called a NAS, which stands for Network Attached Storage. For data security and data availability a low-power dedicated NAS is recommended.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How do I get my music onto a NAS? ==<br />
<br />
See [http://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Ripping Ripping]<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Will downloaded music play on the DS players? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, so long as it is not protected by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management Digital Rights Managemant] (DRM) restrictions and is in one of the supported formats, or transcoded to such a format<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How can I access my iTunes library from Kinsky? ==<br />
<br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyWindowsDavaarManual#iTunes Windows]<br><br />
[http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/KinskyMacDavaarManual#iTunes Mac OS X]<br />
<br />
The other, and better option, is to use [http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/Songbox_4.3_DavaarManual#iTunes Songbox-iTunes]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How can I access my iTunes library from IPad/iPhone==<br />
You can use a iPad/iPhone app called REMOTE. This will allow you to remotely control the iTunes running on your home computer.<br />
Using the iTunes you can use Airplay to broadcast to the Linn DS using the NetAux input.<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I Airplay from my Android device ==<br />
Without ROOTING the android device there is no way to stream to the Linn DS (Airplay AOA Service).<br />
All other apps take the media file and stream it via UPnP.<br />
<br />
Streaming local files can be done use Skifta and “Double Twist Player”<br />

<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can the NAS be used for other purposes? ==<br />
<br />
Yes. The NAS can be accessed and used by any ethernet connected device.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Should the NAS be backed up? ==<br />
<br />
You should back up all your data. RAID, which is built into many NAS devices, protects against the failure of a single drive ''ONLY''. A full backup should be created using a USB attached external drive or similar, and kept synchronised with the NAS.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Does the NAS have to be in the same room as the DS player? ==<br />
<br />
No, as long as both the NAS and the DS player are connected to the same Ethernet network, the DS player will retrieve music from the NAS.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What should I do if my CD collection is too big to fit on one NAS? ==<br />
<br />
Add more or larger drives to the NAS, or use multiple NAS devices and split collection across them.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I create a DS player multi-room system? ==<br />
<br />
Yes. You can have several DS players running from one NAS, with concurrent, independent access to the stored music.<br />
<br />
With Linn DS/DSM products with using Davaar software, this allows simultaneous playback of the same Music in many rooms<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Should I use wired or wireless Ethernet? ==<br />
<br />
Wired. There is no guaranteed quality of service over wireless networks. When streaming music the information must arrive at the DS player in a predictable way to avoid audio drop-out.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How should I control a DS player? ==<br />
<br />
There are a variety of options available, dependent on personal hardware and software preferences, for controlling a DS. Linn recommends using Linn [https://www.linn.co.uk/software software]. <br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can other UPnP controllers operate the DS players? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, so long as they conform to the UPnP AV specification, although with a reduced feature set. <br><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What audio formats do the DS players support? ==<br />
<br />
DS products support<br />
* FLAC Up to 192k 24bit<br />
* WAV<br />
* AIFF<br />
* AIFC<br />
* MP3<br />
* AAC<br />
* WMA (lossy)<br />
* OGG VORBIS<br />
* OGG FLAC<br />
* ALAC upto 192K 24bit [If these ALAC files were generated by an early version of dBpowerAmp the Linn DS will not recognise these. Transcode these files to ALAC using the latest version of dBPowerAmp to fix this.]<br />
<br />
<br />
Linn recommends FLAC.<br />
<br />
DRM protected files cannot be played on the DS products<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Why does Linn recommend FLAC? ==<br />
<br />
# FLAC is a free open format. It is non-proprietary, which means your music collection is safeguarded for the future, can be played through any open digital music player, and is not tied to a particular manufacturer or product. The specification is published for all to see. In contrast, SACD has failed to achieve significant success because it requires proprietary music content and disc players with proprietary hardware inside.<br />
# FLAC allows even better than CD quality encoding and decoding. [http://www.LinnRecords.com Linn Records] provides studio master quality downloads in FLAC, at the same quality as SACD.<br />
# FLAC supports metadata, or tags, so that useful information about a piece of music can be stored with the music; for example, album, artist, genre, cover art, sleeve notes, etc. User interfaces can make good use of these tags. Two examples of applications that support tag editing are: [http://www.mp3tag.de/en Mp3tag] (Windows) and [http://sbooth.org/Tag/ Tag] (Mac)<br />
<br />
# Because it is open and free, there are an extensive set of players, tools, transcoders (to convert between other formats and FLAC), tag editors, and other programs for FLAC.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Do I have to use a NAS or can I use my existing PC/Mac hard drive? ==<br />
<br />
You can install a UPnP Media Server on your existing PC/Mac and use your existing PC/Mac hard drive if you wish.<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== Can I run a UPnP server as SqueezeCenter on the same NAS? ==<br />
<br />
Yes, you can, and they can both access the same audio files.<br />
<br />
Additionally you can use SqueezeCenter and Squeezeboxes to control and media-serve your DS players using the [http://oss.linn.co.uk/trac/wiki/SkweezyDs SkweezyDs plugin]<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== What are the firewall settings required for Kazoo/Kinsky/Konfig operation? ==<br />
<br />
For firewalls which support 'exceptions-by-program' (such as Windows Firewall on XP and Vista), add the executable to the exceptions list. However where the firewall requires setting of absolute port addresses for exceptions the following ranges are required<br />
<br />
* Port '''1900''' (UDP)<br />
* Port '''2869''' (TCP)<br />
* Ports '''49152 – 65535''' (TCP & UDP)<br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br />
== How do I achieve gapless playback for live albums? ==<br />
<br />
To guarantee gapless playback, you will need to rip your music tracks into a lossless format (i.e. FLAC). You must also ensure that you are using ripping software that does not add gaps between tracks when ripping (i.e. DBPoweramp). Most ripping software will offer the option to turn this feature off.<br />
<br />
<br></div>Krisweirhttps://docs.linn.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Synchronisation_of_data_between_NASs&diff=13031Synchronisation of data between NASs2016-11-03T15:08:35Z<p>Krisweir: /* Configure SSH access from Clients */</p>
<hr />
<div>This describes the means of synchronising data between several Mac mini NASs.<br />
<br />
We have a single ''master'' NAS on the main plant network, and 3 NASs in the South Wing area, one for each of the isolated networks. <br />
* Linn Home<br />
* Dem Rooms<br />
* Welcome Area<br />
<br />
Due to the network topology, the isolated networks can access the main plant network, but access the other way round is not available (without some non-default reconfiguration of network components). Hence a ''pull'' synchronisation method was required, so that changes from the ''master'' NAS are pulled in by the ''slave'' NASs in a regular manner.<br />
<br />
This has been achieved using the standard OS/X tools '''rsync''', '''launchctl''' and '''ssh'''. As this uses an SSH connection the synchronisation method described below should be extensible to any setup where the NASs can be connected using SSH, including remotely across the internet (although bandwidth requirements are likely to be a major factor in this case).<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Configure Remote Access on Server ===<br />
<br />
On the '''server''' ''(master)'', remote (ssh) access must be enabled<br />
* System Preferences -> Internet & Wireless -> Sharing<br />
* Check the ''Remote Login'' service<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Configure SSH access from Clients ===<br />
<br />
For every '''client''' ''(slave)'', it is necessary to configure SSH access to the server. The method described here includes steps to remove the requirement for a password to be entered (so that the synchronisation can be executed automatically.) As described this leaves a '''security hole''' in that anyone with access to the client machine can access the server machine without any further restrictions.<br />
<br />
On client<br />
* Open terminal window and execute ''ssh-keygen -t rsa''<br />
** Accept defaults for all prompts (file location and blank passkey)<br />
* Open the file ''~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'' and copy the entire (one line) contents<br />
* Open another terminal window and connect to the server<br />
** ''ssh <user>@<address>''<br />
** Answer ''yes'' if prompted to accept new connection<br />
** Enter password for server to connect<br />
* In the server window create (or open) the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys<br />
* Append the contents of the clients id_rsa.pub to this file and save it<br />
* Exit the server, and try reconnecting<br />
** ''ssh <user>@<address>''<br />
** This time should connect without requiirement to enter password<br />
<br />
Note: macOS Sierra uses OpenSSH 7.0 which deprecates the use of DSA keys.<br />
It's now recommended to use RSA, so the above has been edited accordingly.<br />
<br />
=== Configure timed auto-execute of rsync on Clients ===<br />
<br />
The rsync command line which is required (to sync between 2 USB drives both called USBDrive1) is<br />
rsync --quiet --update --recursive --whole-file --delete-during <user>@<address>:/Volumes/USBDrive1/Music /Voumes/USBDrive1<br />
<br />
This can be made to auto-execute at regular time intervals using '''launchctl''' on Mac <br />
* On every '''client<br />
** Create the ''plist'' file '''~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.user.sync.plist''' <br />
** Ensure this is created under the '''same user''' that the SSH keys setup above<br />
** Update '''name''' and '''address''' in the file below<br />
** This gives a repetition interval of 1/2 hour (1800 secs) as defined at end <br />

<hr />
<div>Linn's digital media products use standard IP networking for audio distribution and control.&nbsp; The recommended specification for the networking products is outlined below.<br><br />
<br />
== Network Topology<br> ==<br />
<br />
== DHCP server ==<br />
<br />
The DHCP server supplies an IP address on request from the DHCP clients. This is somethines given the term of "Router"<br />
<br />
We recommend the Netgear RP614 series of devices<br />
<br />
== Ethernet Switch ==<br />
<br />
The Ethernet switch is the connection point for all other components on the network allowing them to communicate with each other.<br />

<br />
'''Requirements:'''<br />
<br />
* Linn recommends a dedicated, stand alone switch. Switches built into consumer grade ADSL routers, cable modems, or wireless access points tend to be compromised. The processing power of such devices is often shared between its various functions and is therefore not always capable of full performance.<br />
* 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps full duplex switch.<br />
* Must be capable of fully utilising all ports simultaneously. On vendor’s specification pages this is sometimes listed under a category called the “switch backplane” or the “switch bandwidth”. (For an 8 port 100 Mbps switch, this “switch bandwidth” should be 1.6 Gbps. This number comes from 100 Mbps in, plus 100 Mbps out, times the 8 ports. For a 16 port gigabit switch, the “switch bandwidth” would be 32 Gbps. (2*16*1000 Mbps).)<br><br />
<br />
== Wireless Access Point (WAP) ==<br />
<br />
The WAP connects the wireless control point to the network.<br />

<br />
Linn recommends using a standalone wireless access point. Wireless access points built into switches and other consumer grade products are frequently (but not always) of a lower quality.<br />

The recommend Twonky media Server licence can be purhcased from&nbsp;[https://buy.twonkymedia.com/BuyMediaServer.aspx]<br />
<br />
Within the Twonky settings, put the RESCAN time to "0" (zero). If you want to add any Music create the dektop link <u>'''http://your_NAS_IP:8100/rpc/rescan'''</u> for the Netgear ReadyNAS or<br><br />
<br />
<u>'''http://your_NAS_IP:9000/rpc/rescan'''</u> for other devices<br><br />
<br />
This will force Twonky to only scan the media when you want it to.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Control Point<br> ==<br />
<br />
Wireless control point<br />
<br />
The wireless control point provides the user interface (via the Linn GUI) for accessing music and controlling playback. The device can be either a UMPC (ultra-mobile PC), Internet Tablet,&nbsp;or a standard computer/laptop.<br />
<br />
The Linn GUI runs on .NET 2.0<br />
