Lumin U2
The latest generation streaming transport.
A completely new lumin for DAC owners; Lumin U2 focuses on pure digital.
Why Lumin U2?
After the enormous success of our optimum price / performance point Lumin T3, Lumin U2 brings the same design philosophy to a transport for the first time.
Taking the manufacturing methods of the chassis, the design of the linear power supply and the dual network of the award-winning Lumin P1, the new Lumin U2 brings high-end digital technology directly to the heart of the Luminum range.
Unit only for transportation with the best Lumin components
- First transport Lumin in using a new chassis all in one
- The last processor provides greater flexibility of resampling
- New integrated toroidal linear power supply
- The fiber network provides a complete isolation of digital network noise
- Greater capacity for future updates
- 3 USB ports that include a new USB output of low noise
- Dual network interface with integrated network switch
- Playback DSD512 and PCM768
- 4 Glass clock oscillators with exceptionally low phase noise
- New surface finish taken from high range P1
- Volume control without LEEDH processing losses.
Fully new processing system:
- The fully new state-of-the-art hardware and software provide a new base for Lumin
- The increase in processing power and storage capacity provide greater flexibility of resampling, audio processing performance and future preparation.
- Ascending sampling / descending up to DSD256
Internal Linear Food Source of Upload:
- First Lumin Transport with integrated linear power supply
- Ultra low noise rectifier and linear regulator
- Extra large toroidal transformer
Dedicated USB port for audio output:
- First Lumin on Present 3 USB ports
- New USB digital audio output port of dedicated "direct coupling"
- Leave two free ports for music storage and accessories
Construction of CNC chassis:
- First transport Lumin in using a new chassis all in one
- The thick aluminum construction with CNC panels offers greater structural rigidity and protection compared to U2-mini.
- Precision cnc milling techniques of our star products provide high-end aesthetics of the Lumin family
Extracts the best aspects of the entire Lumin range:
New hardware and processing software introduced for the first time with U2-mini and T3
The best features used from our main players, such as fiber networks, linear power supply and two-stage voltage regulators.
New for Lumin Transport: U2 uses a CNC panel construction completed in a new sedious surface process taken from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.
All regular refinements of Lumin
