NTRODUCTION The Linn KARIK CD Transport and the Linn NUMERIK
digital-to-analogue convertor represent the culmination of several years
research and development, and achieve uncompromised performance
standards providing you with an outstanding musical source.
The Linn KARIK CD Transport incorporates an internal digital-to-analogue
convertor (DAC), enabling the KARIK to be used in its own right as a single-box
CD player of the highest possible quality. Consistent with Linn’s philosophy of
ensuring long-term upgrade capability for all our products, the KARIK has the
necessary digital outputs and CD-SYNC input to allow it to be connected to
the Linn NUMERIK at any time in the future, without modification.
The KARIK operates to the highest level of the Compact Disc specifications. It
features advanced error correction, making it tolerant of imperfect disc quality,
giving a significant performance advantage with any chosen disc. It can be
operated from the remote control handset supplied, or directly using the
concealed controls on the front panel.
The Linn NUMERIK digital to analogue converter has been developed from our
professional studio recording system to make this ultimate level of technology
available to the home listener. The NUMERIK is an oversampled DAC using
20-bit convertors which eliminate the low-level distortions found on most
multi-bit DACs. The NUMERIK introduces innovative clock circuitry which cuts
out sound degradation caused by timing jitter. The performance of any high
quality CD Transport with a digital output will be enhanced when combined
with the NUMERIK. Optimum performance is achieved when the NUMERIK is
partnered with the KARIK CD Transport.
