I have been looking at this for quite sometime. They didn't really demo it at their booth in the HK show but I finally get to listen to this at 2 rooms during RMAF 2013. It sounded great, in fact, better than what I had anticipated. I researched the dealers in Hong Kong, after all, this is a Hong Kong product and made my purchase on Sunday. I spend 2 nights setting up Minimserver which Lumin had recommended. The difficulty is you have to do this at the NAS end. This is one of the time, you are glad you got Synology and QNAP NAS with you because you need compatibility with Embedded Java and the Minimserver package. Power it up last night and instantly, I got my entire library minus the DSD ISOs up online at my iPad. These are the advantages of the Lumin:- (1) Audio media player and DAC, all build as one unit. All you need is a NAS. (2) Volume Control included. (3) No Mac, PC required. (4) No USB cable required. (5) Analog XLR and RCA output. (6) Audio HDMI output is available. (7) Solid milled out cavities case construction. (_8) Totally linear power supply. No PC CPU multiple voltage requirements. (9) No need for battery 5V isolation, no need to worry about battery operation. (10) Just the NAS, the Lumin, headphone amp and the headphone is what you need for a very high resolution music playback system. (11) DSD capable but up 2.8MHz only. (12) PCM to DSD upsampling (Very important feature) Here are the con of the Lumin, (1) No USB output to your favorite DAC. There is however a digital SPDIF provided. (2) No AES digital output. (3) No traditional remote control. Need iPad or iPhone to select songs. This was reviewed last night using :- Synology DS-1812+ NAS with Java 6 and MinimServer 0.72 (x86 version) (This is an Intel Atom NAS) Lumin Player Bryston Headphone Amp BHA-1 Sennheiser HD800 headphones. The sound is neutral and very untube-like. It is very dynamic, very good with percussion instrument. Good representation with the vocals with all the instruments all properly and spaced out with pin point accuracy. Very dark, you can "see spaces" in between where are are no instrument or sound across the wide sound stage. Again, very detailed, I can find things I never heard on familiar recording...like a faint moan, a tiny triangle tingling in the background, some sub synthesizer tone that I never knew existed. As expected, playback on DSD yields very good results. When compared to all the native RBCD 44.1K track, the RBCD tracks sounded a little "brighter" with bite. This is where the "PCM to DSD upsampling" comes in and it transformed these tracks into really nice sounding tracks once you convert it to DSD output. This is a very good feature. Yes, it display chinese very well too. For the next few nights, I would need to extract all the DSF tracks from my SACD ISOs and connect this to the main system...... This is a good one-box solution (well, not exactly one box because you need a NAS) to go into computer music playback. Highly recommended. (Audio)

This is a reference quality streamer with a lot of features. The LUMIN T2 heralds the first redesign of the classic A1/T1 main boards and chassis. This new approach combines solid CNC panel construction with X1 technology to hit the performance sweet spot. LUMIN T2 is available in Black or Silver finish.

Get yourself a gift right in time for Christmas break - Final Price Drop - 40% of original RRP. Pickup locations possible this week: Gosford, Haymarket or Alexandria. Lumin T2 Streamer DAC Preamplifier is up for sale. It's less than a year old and still under warranty. I am the original owner, having purchased it from the authorized dealer, Krispy Audio. I acquired it as an interim solution while searching for an all-in-one amplifier. This exceptional product delivers crystal-clear sound from streaming platforms and seamlessly integrates with all major streaming services, including Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and Airplay 2. The Lumin T2 boasts a high-quality DAC that, in my experience, rivals even the Chord Qutest DAC in A/B testing. Its onboard DAC offers remarkable transparency, an airy soundstage, and impressive resolution when paired with a resolving downstream system. Regarding the T2 vs. T3 model comparison, I auditioned both and found that the sound quality improvement in the T3's DAC was negligible, making the T2 a more cost-effective choice. A standout feature of the Lumin T2 is its capability to upsample to DSD, which significantly enhanced sound quality in my system, particularly with my Pass Labs components. The digital volume control is truly transparent, and in my main Pass Labs setup, I couldn't discern any drop in quality when switching between the analog preamp and the Lumin's volume control. I have all the original packaging available, allowing me to ship anywhere in Australia.

Further information: ON HOLD PENDING Fantastic opportunity to buy an as new Lumin U1 Mini streamer fitted with external Sbooster linear PSU and fitted adaptor kit. These hardly ever come up for sale, because they are very hard to beat - especially with the external PSU. Effectively this is the equivalent of the Lumin U1, which is a lazy $10k to buy new! This unit and Sbooster are only around 2 years old, and comes with all original packaging and accessories. This Lumin has performed absolutely flawlessly, and support from the Company is legendary for good reason! Priced to sell quickly, not keen to split up at this stage. Original internal PSU included as spare. IEC wire desoldered during conversion, so can be restored to original state if required. Photos:

Expertly crafted, the T2 seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with top-notch performance, delivering an immersive and captivating audio experience that's second to none. Premium Design, Uncompromising Quality: The LUMIN T2 boasts an elegant CNC-machined aluminum chassis, providing a perfect balance between beauty and durability. Its unique design not only turns heads but also ensures superior heat dissipation, optimizing performance and prolonging the life of the device. Lightning-Fast, Ultra-Precise Performance: Powered by a Quad-Core processor, the T2 guarantees lightning-fast streaming, effortless navigation, and exceptional responsiveness. With support for high-resolution PCM (up to 384kHz) and DSD (up to DSD256), the T2 effortlessly handles even the most demanding audio files. Vast Connectivity Options: The T2 offers a wide array of connectivity options, with support for popular streaming services such as TIDAL, Spotify, and Qobuz, as well as being Roon Ready certified, the T2 is your gateway to limitless music. Output to a different DAC using the digital outs if you so wish, or connect into your amp/preamp using either balanced (XLR) or RCA connections. Leaps & Bounds in Sound Quality: The LUMIN T2 features a dual-mono DAC configuration, delivering a jaw-dropping soundstage with unparalleled clarity, depth, and detail. As Stereonet's review confirms, the T2's sound is “refined, yet dynamic and engaging, making for a very enjoyable listening experience."

The app offers a seamless interface for managing and controlling your music library, streaming services, and playback settings. I have been using the Lumin T2's balanced outputs into a McIntosh MA352 integrated amplifier for over a year now (also being advertised, deal available if taking both) and it has been an engaging pairing. Both are regrettable sales, but the only constant in my system is change and the insatiable tinkerer in me must be appeased. The T2's RRP was $5,995 before the facelift T3 was announced with a hike in RRP to $6,995. Original boxes and not too heavy for AusPost (I can deliver to Pack and Send ready boxed for you if you want the McIntosh amp too). Can discuss pick-up or meet-up on the North side of Melbourne as an option too.
