I was not sure whether to post this in the streamers section or here n the tweaker's corner but I felt here would be more appropriate
 
Linn has launched SPACE Optimisation. ‘SPACE’ stands for ‘Speaker Placement And Custom Environment’. This software builds an acoustic model of the listening environment based on the choice and placement of speakers, as well as the properties of the listening room.
It is designed to remove the unwanted distorting effects of a room. The point is to take the room out of the equation, regardless of how much glass, concrete or partition walling you may have. The software is even capable of emulating your speakers’ ideal position, so you can place them wherever you want.
All Linn network music players will get SPACE Optimisation. New products will come with the software pre-loaded, while existing units will get it via a software upgrade.
If you have a Linn Exakt system, you’ll benefit from SPACE Optimisation+. This takes things further by modelling the acoustic response of each individual drive unit.


More here to what sounds as a SAM competitor but needs H/W upgrade, Linn announced also good news for owners of Bowers & Wilkins 802 Diamond speakers: Linn is announcing Exaktbox support for you.
The speakers can be "upgraded" (in Linn's words) with a reversible operation to bypass the speaker’s passive crossover. An Exakt conversion kit is attached to the end of the 802s, to be connected to an Akurate Exaktbox, which performs the crossover digitally.
Exakt technology then aims to eliminate distortion, corrects for drive unit variation, and optimises the performance based on the room.

What do you guys think?
