The Linn Akurate CD player is a multifaceted audio device designed to handle various disc formats including CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio, while maintaining high audio fidelity. It features a proprietary drive known as the Silver Disc Engine that contributes to its performance in minimizing jitter and optimizing sound quality. The player offers both stereo and multichannel outputs but does not include any video output, emphasizing its focus on audio reproduction. Its design is robust, crafted from aluminum with a precision-cast front panel, although some components are made from plastic. The interior houses an emphasis on clean signal paths, using advanced circuitry and various audio chips like Cirrus Logic CS4397 and Burr-Brown components to enhance audio output. The Akurate CD player is particularly noted for its musical warmth, coherence, and a slightly laid-back treble that enhances the listening experience, making it suitable for a broad range of musical genres. With functionalities such as DSD signal processing and upsampling capabilities, it retains the essence of high-resolution audio. With an output impedance of 300Ω for RCA and 600Ω for XLR connections, it supports a range of audio setups. The device is compact and weighs 4.5kg, with dimensions of 80mm x 381mm x 360mm, making it convenient for various spaces.
