What is the difference between Klimax DSM (2020 variant) and earlier versions?
Exakt Devices
• Ultra-low jitter clock with improved clock distribution circuitry and new low-noise power supply
• This clock is used as the Exakt master clock and is distributed to all Exakt devices in the system
• Improving the clock in the Klimax DSM (AV / Music / Hub) improves the performance of all Exakt devices in the system
• Klimax Exakt DSM has 4off Exakt sockets, the Klimax DSM HUB only has 2off.
Analogue Inputs
• Brand new, high-performance ADC (analogue to digital converter) which now has its own circuit board and dedicated power supply
• New design has lower noise and lower distortion which benefits all analogue sources
Digital Inputs
• New Linn-designed SPDIF receiver implemented in an FPGA
• Improved clock recovery algorithm for reduced jitter
• SPDIF inputs support up to 192kHz/24-bit audio
• One SPDIF digital input can be configured as an output - This is also possible in the Klimax DSM/2 (2016/208 variant)
• The addition of a USB (type B) input allows connection to a computer as an audio device
USB input supports up to 384kHz/24-bit audio
Streaming
• 384kHz/24-bit streaming support
DSD256 audio format support
Connectivity
• The optical Ethernet connection improves audio performance by providing complete isolation from noisy network components
• WiFi and Bluetooth (4.2) connectivity
• Audio can be streamed from devices such as mobile phones, Alexa, Google Home
HDMI
HDMI eARC support


Differences between the previous version of Klimax DSM and Klimax System Hub
Klimax DSM/3 and Klimax DSM/2 (2016-2018 variant)

  1. Addition of Service-Use socket
  2. Addition of Optical Ethernet connection
  3. Addition of USB socket for connection to PC/MAC
  4. Removal of TOSLINK socket from 2off to 1off
  5. Addition of another SPDIF Input. (One socket can still be configured as a digital Input or Output)
  6. Addition of another HDMI-2 input
  7. Addition of third analogue input. (RCA type)
