After years of requests from existing high-end DAC owners, the LUMIN team have taken the finest components from the flagship S1 model and developed them specifically for digital processing and output.

Using a new dedicated LUMIN U1 processor adds upsampling and downsampling for every supported format – all the way from 44.1kHz to DSD128 – providing maximum DAC compatibility and optimization.

Transport-only unit based on the award-winning LUMIN S1

• 5 types of digital audio output including new USB
• Includes DSD512 22.5Mhz 1-bit playback
• PCM 44.1–768kHz 16–32-bit
• 4 exceptionally low-phase-noise crystal clock oscillators
• External dual-toroidal power supply
• Resampling to every supported format up to DSD128 and PCM384kHz
• Supports DoP (DSD over PCM) for Optical, Coaxial RCA, Coaxial BNC & AES/EUB SPDIF

• All the usual LUMIN refinements

  • From MQA to DSD, FLAC to WAV, LUMIN can play all the high-resolution formats you could ever want
  • Native support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify and AirPlay-compatible, giving you access to tens of millions of songs
  • The unique and intuitive LUMIN App described as “the most convenient interface in existence” by TINMAN
