Lumin U2 – Reference Network Transport for Pure Digital Playback
The Lumin U2 is a flagship-grade digital transport designed for audiophiles who already own a high-performance DAC. It strips away everything unnecessary and focuses on delivering the cleanest, most precise digital signal possible, so your DAC can shine at its absolute best.
Why the Lumin U2 Stands Apart
Uncompromising Digital Design
Borrowing heavily from the flagship X1, the U2 features a CNC-machined aluminum chassis, precision clocking, fibre networking, and Lumin’s advanced processing platform. Every detail is optimized for noise reduction and jitter-free playback.
Future-Proof High-Resolution Streaming
Supporting up to DSD512 and PCM 768kHz/32-bit, along with full MQA decoding, the U2 is built for today’s hi-res libraries and tomorrow’s formats.
Seamless Streaming Ecosystem
Whether you use Roon, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, or AirPlay, the U2 integrates effortlessly. USB, AES/EBU, BNC, coaxial, and optical outputs ensure compatibility with virtually any high-end DAC.
