A New LUMIN Core With our brand new in-house Discrete DAC, everything is built around precision conversion. Why LUMIN X2 After years of dedicated in-house R&D, LUMIN X2 introduces our brand-new discrete DAC! The introduction of a fully discrete DAC architecture marks a milestone in LUMIN’s digital evolution. By building the converter from individually selected components, every aspect of the digital-to-analogue process can be precisely optimised — from circuit topology and power delivery to clocking and signal integrity. Tailored to our streaming engine, this cohesive and stable foundation sets the stage for the next chapter of our flagship design. A brand new flagship Network Music Player with our new DAC at the core! The latest LUMIN processing architecture delivers all the latest features Custom new dual LUMIN Discrete DAC All-new Output Buffer Native DSD512 & 32-bit PCM768 playback Femto Clock System with precision FPGA distribution Dual Mono dual stage Power Supply for analogue circuitry SFP socket providing Optical Network support and built-in Network Switch USB Digital Audio Output supports Native DSD512 PCM & DSD upsampling up to DSD256 Leedh Processing lossless volume control Latest processing system The first LUMIN flagship to feature our fastest processor First launched in 2022, the latest architecture provides a new foundation for LUMIN Increased processing power and storage capacity provide greater resampling flexibility, audio processing performance and future-proofing.
