This paper deals with the quasiperiodic linear homogeneous system \[ \dot x=A(\varphi \cdot t)x,\tag{1} \] where \(x\in \mathbb C^n\), \(A(\varphi)\in C(T^m \mapsto u(n))\), \(T^m:=\mathbb R^m/2\pi \mathbb Z^m\), and \(\varphi \cdot t:=\omega t+\varphi\) is an irrational flow on the torus \(T^m\) determined by a constant vector \(\omega =(\omega_1,\ldots,\omega_m)\in \mathbb R^m\) with rationally independent components. The author proves the following nontrivial statement: there exists an open subset \(\mathfrak A\in C(T^m \mapsto u(n))\) such that any system (1) with \(A(\varphi)\in \mathfrak A\) is non-reducible to a system with constant matrix by means of linear transformation of the form \(x=P(\varphi \cdot t)y\), where \(P(\varphi)\in C(T^m \mapsto U(n))\), \(\frac{d}{dt}P(\varphi \cdot t)\in C(T^m\times \mathbb R \mapsto u(n))\). Thus, the negative answer to \textit{L. H. Eliasson}'s problem [Doc. Math., J. DMV Extra Vol. ICM Berlin 1998, Vol. II, 779-787 (1998; Zbl 0901.34043)] is obtained.
