LUMIN's multi-talented P1 Mini promises to deliver an "elite level" of signal processing and versatility to the heart of every two-channel audio playback system.
Building upon the P1, the LUMIN P1 Mini includes much of its bigger sibling's audiophile design and user flexibility - it's just in a more compact case.
Alongside a stereo analogue input, you also get a raft of digital inputs, including USB (up to native DSD512), optical/SPDIF (up to 192/24 with DoP) and HDMI 2.0 (with 4K passthrough). Meanwhile, digital outputs include USB (with native DSD512 support), BNC SPDIF (PCM 44.1kHz–192kHz, 16–24-bit DSD64), and HDMI, supporting PCM 2.0 Audio, 4K Video passthrough and ARC. Additionally, the P1 Mini offers DSD128 and PCM 384kHz up-sampling options for all files.
Naturally, it supports all the popular file formats, including DSD, MQA, WAV, AAC, and ALAC, as well as streaming services such as Quobuz, TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, FLAC Lossless Radio, and Apple AirPlay 2. It is also Roon Ready.
The P1 Mini also features a dual-network interface that manages switching between the device's Ethernet and SFP fibre ports, providing complete isolation from network noise.
Fed by a new internal toroidal power supply and governed by a Leedh Processing lossless digital volume control, the P1 Mini's analogue output is a fully balanced layout featuring dual ES9028PRO SABRE DACs supported by dual Femto crystal oscillators and Lumin's proprietary FPGA clock distribution system. This, says LUMIN, delivers the cleanest audiophile signal quality to XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced outputs.
Control over playback and settings, input selection, per-input volume memory and custom input labels is accessed through the LUMIN app or via a sleek new Roon Ready handheld remote, precision-made in Austria from acrylic and zinc. Moreover, the infrared receiver built into the LUMIN P1 Mini is compatible with universal remote controls, phones, and automation systems.
The LUMIN P1 Mini in natural or black anodised aluminium is available now with an RRP of £4,195.
