The Atom already had a great feel and the Nova will be similarly good. That’s why, when looking for alternatives, I ended up with Naim again. The Selekt can still keep up, but the new Majik looks like a cheap set-top box. Good sound is the most important thing, but as we all know, the eye eats too. Delivery time: 6 weeks! With so much time, you have to look further, especially as the look of the new Linn’s doesn’t really appeal to me. So I went back to smaller buns: The new DSM/4 was supposed to have more depth and be better overall. But the price was too high for me in relation. In a fit of Croesus, I wanted to go straight for the Linn Selekt DSM incl. My decision tended more towards the Majik DSM/3. The bass was better but the stage was narrower, more compact and less transparent. That’s why I used a Uniti Atom for a direct comparison. Unfortunately, I found it lacked a bit of depth (previously Hegel Röst) and some “worse” recorded pieces were somehow already reproduced harshly. The clarity, detail and stage imaging were great. I stumbled across a second-hand Linn Majik DSM/3 late last year. I am looking for an all-in-one device - streaming and amplifier. I have been trying to come to a decision for weeks.
