Linn Klimax System Hub
Discussion
I assume you are talking about the Exakt system hub rather than the full £30k DSM with DACs. I haven't but I'm on a few facebook groups where everyone who has considers it a big upgrade.
I struggle with the concept personally (when streaming rather than AD conversion of analogue sources) as I would have thought the DAC conversion (ie to Organik) in the speakers or Exaktboxes is what makes the difference, but others (who have actually listened and put money where mouth is) say the hub is the biggest upgrade!
All academic to me as I'm still listening to Akurate with Katalyst and passive speakers but I'm glad people do buy this stuff so I can have it one day!

General consensus is it's a good 'un. Nobody here seems to disagree.
My Linn AD told me to order one now at current price as Linn are about to add £2.5k to it in their imminent price hikes. So I did.
He also says Linn are bringing out a 360 to supersede the 350 speaker system which will mean 350s appearing on the market at good prices when they do.

The installer was starting to drop early hints about the 360s. They’ve got a demo happening on July 4th. Already told him absolutely not going to happen.
I’ll give them 2 months to sell a few pairs and then my phone will ring with the offers on the 350s the 360 buyers are trading.
Played this game with Ferrari for years. Not getting sucked into the Linn version. (Probably
