The LUMIN U1 Mini-BOTW is a high-end network transport designed as a more economical alternative to the LUMIN U1. With the same platform and streaming technology as the U1, but with a simplified power supply. Combined with the Sbooster BOTW (Best of Two Worlds) LPS power supply, it delivers significantly better performance. Built around high-quality components, in a low-resonance aluminum enclosure. Developed by the team at Pixel Magic Systems Ltd in Hong Kong with a focus on low-noise signal processing and bit-perfect output.
In 2012, LUMIN introduced the world's first network player capable of playing DSD files. After two years of development and hundreds of hours of critical listening, this product was launched with a single forum post. Since then, LUMIN has expanded its lineup to nine models, ranging in price points. All products share a focus on natural music playback, continuous software development and a seamless streaming experience. In recent years, LUMIN has added support for services such as Roon, MQA and Spotify. In addition, the company has introduced features such as Leedh Processing, a digital volume control technology. LUMIN develops hardware, firmware and software internally, allowing for rapid implementation of new features.
