DVD Player of the Year 2006.
"From a company with over three decades in the high-end audio industry, the Linn Unidisk SC is a one-of-a-kind product that forces reviewers to ask why other manufacturers aren't making products like this. In our March/April issue we reported Linn's image quality was among the very best, with excellent color, low motion and deinterlacing artefacts, good complex-motion processing and very good 3:2 pulldown. It's no-fault- found video rating was complemented by the only 10-point audio score in our survey. Characterised by a deep silent background, exceptionally clear detail, and a lushly three-dimensional soundstage, its audio performance exceeded some formidable competition, including the Lexicon RT-20, the Krell Showcase, the Denon DVD-5910 and the Sony DVP-NS9100ES.
Superior A/V performance would have earned the Unidisk top honors in any case, but this modest-looking component is much more than a great universal disc player. The Linn Unidisk also functions as a high-quality digital-to-analog converter, surround sound processor, hub in a Linn-centric networked entertainment system, and remote-controllable multi-channel preamp. Actually five different units rolled into one - at the price of a single component - the versatile Linn is ideal as the heart-and-brain of a deceptively simple-looking but world-class home entertainment system."
