LUMIN U1. Network audio transport. Airplay, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz, USB.

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 44.1kHz up and down all the way 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

Identical processor supporting DSD256 and 384khz playback

Native quad clock system for precise timing

Low noise shielded switch mode power supply

5 types of digital audio output including USB

MQA decoding

Oversampling to all supported formats up to DSD128

Supports DoP (DSD over PCM) for Optical, Coaxial RCA, Coaxial BNC and AES / EUB SPDIF

All the usual refinements of LUMIN

From MQA to DSD, from FLAC to WAV, LUMIN can reproduce all the high resolution formats you could want.

Native support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and AirPlay, giving you access to tens of millions of songs
