All-new processing system

  • Completely new hardware and software provide a new foundation for LUMIN
  • Increased processing power and storage capacity provide greater resampling flexibility and future-proofing.

Precision analogue output stage

  • Analogue buffer includes LUMIN X1 technology
  • Dual-mono circuitry throughout
  • Ultra-low-noise and high dynamic range

CNC chassis construction

  • The thick CNC panelled construction offers upgraded structural rigidity and sheilding compared to the D2

Builds on the massive success of LUMIN T2

Completely new processing hardware and software deliver improved features and increased resampling flexibility while retaining all the musicality that was noted in so many outstanding T2 reviews.

Among the key hardware features carried over from T2 are the Dual ES9028Pro SABRE DACs featuring dual-mono operation.

The new model is also finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.
