Linn's DS players use industry standard networking technology for audio transport and control.

Linn's DS players will play an audio stream from any network server that supports the following requirements:

The audio stream is identified and retrievable with a fully qualified HTTP URL
The HTTP server supports one of:
- HTTP 1.1 Partial GET. This option is most suited to pull-based streams (eg requesting music on demand from network storage) and supports seeking.
- HTTP 0.9, or later, GET (currently MP3 streams only). This option is most suited to push-based streams (eg internet radio). Such streams are not seekable.

Examples of servers that support these requirements:
