"What a refreshingly honest blog about listening to music through hi-fi. So happy to see views based upon the enjoyment of music rather than so-called sound 'quality'." - Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design at Mission / Wharfedale

Inside Linn's Sneaky DS

A few photos with the lid off Linn's Sneaky DS.

Pictures taken when the covers were removed for refinishing in a subtle new shade :)

General Overview, including the power amp monolithics towards the left, bolted to heatsinks which align to the cooling slots


Xlinx FPGAs for upsampling, applying SPACE Optimisation etc. Probably.


What looks like the amp stage with the monolithic power amps at the top of the picture

    1.(especially of a change or distinction) so delicate or precise as to be difficult to analyse or describe.

    Don't think bright red fits the description. ROFL

  2. Nice to see a Wolfson WM8740 in there and it feels strange to read the part numbering convention I created for the lead free version.
