Linn's position appears to be that they think the future is with high-end media players and that CD is no longer the pre-eminent source. I don't expect them to be making high-end cd players in 2-3 years time and I don't think Naim will either. I believe I am right in saying that they see the Klimax DS as now THE Linn reference source. Certainly if you listen to their sales patter, it's all about how CD playback is fundamentally flawed and how HD playback from a high quality rip is intrinsically better. Certainly from what I've heard so far they are entitled to that opinion. I'm sure other manufacturers can do the same...
