Wave goodbye to the CD player

It might look dull and unassuming, but the Linn Majik DS promises to boost your digital audio to rival or even surpass that of any CD player. Indeed, Linn is even willing to give you a 10 per cent discount if you hand in your old CD deck.

Take your pick from a black or silver finish, both able to hop onto your home network for accessing digital libraries, reproducing WAV, AIFF, MP3, ALAC and ‘studio quality’ FLAC files in audiophile quality. And if you're planning a party, all the better - up to 1,000 tracks can be queued up at any one time.

The unit is good for hooking up to an existing audio system or a more simple set-up, thanks to a built-in pre-amp and it's also Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) compatible, allowing it to connect to any similarly-configured device, with the option to control the tunes via mobile phone, PDA or computer.

Not cheap at £1,750, but quality always comes at a premium.
