Description
More information in one fell swoop! What is especially noticeable is that every sound/instrument is more tangible. Only a streamer, no dac, so a hefty sum. But very much a fat upgrade compared to more inexpensive streamers…. As if you connect a nicer dac. Yeah!
The LUMIN A1 was designed by the Hong Kong-based LUMIN team as the brand’s first product. The design combines audiophile performance with ease of use, developed by a team with experience in high-end audio and software. The enclosure is milled entirely from solid aluminum for optimal shielding and vibration damping. Internally, they use high-quality ESS SABRE DACs and a linear power supply.
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.
