Standard DAC
The standard option; a stereo DAC that performs beautifully in all applications.
Katalyst DAC
Gain a deeper insight into your music; upgrade to Katalyst for astonishing detail and musicality.
Organik DAC
Designed without compromise, and engineered entirely in-house, Organik is the breathtaking culmination of over thirty years of digital technology expertise. Available in stereo and higher-performing dual-mono variants.

Once you’ve chosen your desired DAC performance level, you will choose which role you would like Selekt DSM to perform in your home today – with the option to expand and upgrade its capabilities in future.
Source-Only
If you’re looking to replace the nucleus of your hi-fi separates system – or build a new one from scratch – Selekt DSM in its simplest form is just the thing for you. It is a superb, high-performance source that will partner exquisitely with your external amplification.
Source + Integrated Amplifiers
If you seek the elegant convenience of a one-box system, Selekt DSM – with the addition of integrated amplifiers – becomes the highest-performing, all-in-one digital source on the market.
For the hi-fi enthusiast seeking even higher performance, your Selekt DSM can be expanded for bi-amping, tri-amping, and can even be Exakt-enabled to drive certain 3rd-party loudspeakers – from one single box!
Connect to your TV
Will Selekt DSM be the centre of your family’s home entertainment? With its comprehensive array of digital and analogue connectivity, your Selekt DSM will receive, process, and deliver sumptuous sound, no matter the source.
Connect to your television via the in-built HDMI ARC socket (or opt for the additional HDMI switching module featuring high-resolution eARC) to render movie, video game, and TV show soundtracks with stunning clarity and power.
Home Cinema
For home cinema devotees, Selekt DSM can be configured to form the high-performance heart of your multichannel setup. When fed a decoded surround sound stream (PCM) over HDMI, Selekt DSM facilitates home theatre options ranging from 2.1 up to 7.2 Surround Sound – with all the required connectivity for satellite speakers, centre channel, and subwoofers on-board.
The breadth of possibility within the Selekt DSM ecosystem is vast. Start with your choice of chassis – either Classic Hub, or the deluxe and higher-performance Edition Hub. Then select your desired DAC performance level – whether Standard, upgraded to Katalyst, or the peak performance of Organik – before considering how your Selekt DSM will be tailored to your own specific application.
Whether you’re working your way towards the separates system of your dreams with Selekt DSM as source-only, the highest-performance all-in-one box product available with on-board amps, the heart of your home entertainment in partnership with your TV, or you seek a fully integrated 5.1 Surround Sound receiver; whether your wish is to bi-amp, tri-amp, or even go Exakt with your loudspeakers from a single, luxurious, silver-anodised or black box – Selekt DSM accomplishes all with alacrity.
