Following the great success of LUMIN D2, we decided to investigate the possibility of making LUMIN transport technology similarly accessible. The result is a great specification in a compact package.

Capable of sampling up and down from 44.1kHz to DSD128 and supporting DSD256 playback, the LUMIN U1 MINI matches the U1 in almost every area except price.

The transport unit combines the best of LUMIN U1 and LUMIN D2
