- The Linn is normally replaced with its family name, e.g.Klimax, Akurate..
- Davaar
- The fourth and current major inbuilt Operating System/Firmware software version installed in your Linn DS/DSM. This includes features of Multi-room audio and Exakt Technology
E
- EXAKT
- Exakt Technology is the Linn technology for digital audio transfer between Linn products. This allow music to be transported with no loss in quality to loudspeakers, Digital to audio convertors and from analogue sources, such as Urika-II
- EXAKT-LINK
- Exakt link transport is the data cable that feeds the digital audio between Linn products. T
F
- FALLBACK
- FALLBACK is the state of a Linn DS/DSM when it is waiting/in process of doing a software update.
- Firmware
- Firmware is the operating system of a product.
G
H
I
- Internet Radio
-
- Also known as TuneIn Radio
J
K
- Kazoo control software
- Linn DS/DSM control software to allow you to control the Linn DS from a PC, MacBook or Android/Apple tablet/phone.
- Kazoo server
- Kazoo Server is a UPnP Media Server to share music from your local collection and also works controlling Linn DS/DSM from Crestron and Control4
Kinsky control software
L
- Linn DS/DSM

M
- Media Server
- A Media Server commonly known as a UPnP media server, shares Music using UPnP protocol
- Manage systems
- Manage Systems will allow you to change the configuration of the your Linn DS/DSM via a web-page
N
- Network Player
- The name used in the configuration software to describe a Linn DS/DSM.
O
- Open Source Software
- OSS is software where the source code is publically available.
P
- Playlist
