Description

Why Lumin U2 MINI?

Following the huge success of LUMIN D2, Lumin decided to investigate the possibility of making the LUMIN transport technology similarly accessible.

The result is a huge specification in a compact package.

Capable of upsampling and downsampling all the way from 44.1kHz to DSD128 and supporting playback of DSD256, LUMIN U2 MINI matches the U1 in almost every area - except price.

FEATURES:

  • Transport-only unit combines the best of LUMIN U1 and LUMIN D2
  • Identical processor supports DSD256 and 384khz playback
  • Quad native clock system for precision timing
  • Low noise shielded switching power supply
  • 5 types of digital audio output including USB
  • MQA Decoding
  • 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
LUMIN programme of continuous development that has seen Roon, MQA, and Spotify support added in 2017 alone.
