LUMIN U2. Networked audio transport. Airplay, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz, USB
THE NEXT GENERATION STREAMING TRANSPORT.
A completely new LUMIN for DAC owners; LUMIN U2 focuses on pure digital.
WHY LUMIN U2?
Following the huge success of our price/performance sweet spot LUMIN T3, LUMIN U2 brings the same design philosophy to a transport for the first time.
Taking the chassis construction methods, linear power supply design and dual network from the award-winning LUMIN P1, the new LUMIN U2 brings high-end digital technology directly to the heart of the LUMIN range.
Transport-only unit with the best LUMIN components.
▪ First LUMIN transport to use new all-in-one chassis
▪ Latest processor provides greater re-sampling flexibility
▪ New integrated linear toroidal linear power supply
▪ Fibre network provides complete isolation of digital noise from the network
▪ Increased capacity for future upgrades
▪ 3 USB ports including NEW dedicated low-noise USB output
Dual network interface with integrated network switch
▪ DSD512 and PCM768 playback
▪ 4 crystal clock oscillators with exceptionally low phase noise
▪ New surface finish borrowed from the high-end P1 range
▪ Leedh processing lossless volume control.
Completely new processing system:

▪ Increased processing power and storage capacity provide greater resampling flexibility, audio processing performance and future-proofing.
Upsampling/downsampling up to DSD256
Ultra-low noise internal linear power supply:
▪ 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 to feature 3 USB ports.
▪ New dedicated "direct-attach" USB digital audio output port

CNC chassis construction:
▪ First LUMIN transport to use a new all-in-one chassis.
▪ Thick aluminium construction with CNC panels offers increased structural rigidity and protection compared to the U2-Mini.
▪ Precision CNC milling techniques on our flagship products deliver the 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 the U2-Mini and T3.
The best features used from our top players, such as fibre networks, linear power supply and two-stage voltage regulators.
New for LUMIN Transport: U2 uses a CNC panel construction finished in a new silky surface process borrowed from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.
