More information in one fell swoop! What really stands out is that every sound and instrument feels more tangible. It’s just a streamer—no DAC—so it’s a hefty price tag, but definitely a major upgrade compared to “more affordable” streamers… it’s like connecting a higher-end DAC. Yeah!

We're happy to accept trade-ins for new equipment so we can do something fun with it! Please let us know what you might have to trade in. Of course, this is also available without a trade-in. We deliver 100% new in a sealed box, but we thought it would be fun to snap a quick photo of our demo model. Stop by for a demo in one of our 5 listening rooms! Other configurations are also available.

The LUMIN U2 was designed by the team at Pixel Magic Systems in Hong Kong, with a strong focus on minimal signal interference and maximum precision in digital audio playback. The fully dual power supply, CNC-machined aluminum enclosure and fully shielded digital section attest to high build quality. Internal components have been carefully selected, including flat internal cables for optimal signal integrity.
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.
