$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?


It has to be set up using a special service and there is no manual? I guess this for the very wealthy few who do not care about "gear." I would rather buy a car with this money, or part of a Porsche, and set up my own DAC/streamer. But Stephen Scarf at Absolute Sound says.."unquestionably the best combination DAC/streamer I've ever heard, bar none." Great hyperbole, may hold true for a month or two, then some other over-priced bit of kit comes along..

"Nothing Linn is worth $39k."

And Donald Trump's natural hair colour is orange.

why not ? y'all realize there is a forum discussion somewhere talking about how crazy and financially irresponsible a $1 k cartridge is.... a " consumable " at that...which is how you should view...wait for it.....your turbocharger...

Hilarious how all the magic stone " you must hear it to criticize it " crowd are quick to pile on Linn.....

 

Linn have been following the same marketing strategy since the early 1970s.

 

It's just now they're targeting the so-called 'ascendant class' that the socialist (Ha!) Joe Biden seems to be assisting.

 

Clever strategical move on Linn's part, not so clever on crazy Joe's.

Pretty soon he won't have any supporters left, not even fictional ones.

 

Let's go Brandon!

$39k for a server/DAC IS an OUTRAGEOUS amount (because it exceeds the $30k I paid for mine).  People are always spending either too little and buying junk (i.e., less than I spent) or are spending way too much and bringing ruin to the world (i.e., spending more than I did).  What's wrong with y'all.

Good grief, can't an audiophile board about DACs be a safe haven from our dysfunctional political name-calling (on both sides.)
