WHY LUMIN U2

After the huge success of our sweetspot price/performance LUMIN T3, LUMIN U2 brings the same design philosophy to a transport for the first time.

Taking chassis construction methods, linear power supply design and dual-network from the multi-award-winning LUMIN P1, the all-new LUMIN U2 brings high-end digital right into the heart of the LUMIN range.

Transport-only unit featuring the finest LUMIN components

  • First LUMIN Transport to use new all-in-one chassis
  • Latest processor provides greater resampling flexibility 
  • New integrated toroidal linear power supply
  • Fibre Network provides complete isolation from network digital noise
  • Increased capacity for future updates
  • 3 USB ports including a NEW dedicated low-noise USB output
  • Dual-Network interface with built-in Network Switch
  • DSD512 and PCM768 playback
  • 4 exceptionally low-phase-noise crystal clock oscillators
  • New surface finish taken from the high-end P1
  • Leedh Processing lossless volume control

All-new processing system

  • Completely new next-generation hardware and software provide a new foundation for LUMIN
  • Increased processing power and storage capacity provide greater resampling flexibility, audio processing performance and future-proofing.
  • Up/down sampling up to DSD256

Internal ultra-low-noise linear power supply

  • First LUMIN Transport with a built in 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-Coupled” USB digital audio output port
  • Leaves two ports free for music storage and accessories

CNC chassis construction

  • First LUMIN Transport to use new all-in-one chassis
  • The thick CNC panelled aluminium construction offers upgraded structural rigidity and sheilding compared to the U2-Mini
  • Precision CNC milling techniques from our flagship products provide the high-end LUMIN family aesthetic

Draws the very best aspects from throughout the LUMIN range

New processing hardware and software first introduced with the U2-Mini and T3

The best features used from our flagship players such as Fibre Networking, Linear Power Supply and Dual-stage voltage regulators

New for a LUMIN Transport - U2 uses CNC panel construction finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.
