LUMIN X2

The Lumin X2 represents the new pinnacle of the brand’s range, a network music player that combines processing power, digital precision, and artisanal construction. At its heart beats a fully in-house developed dual-mono discrete DAC, designed to optimize every aspect of the digital-to-analog conversion process, from circuit layout to power distribution, clock management, and signal fidelity. This technological core, paired with a state-of-the-art femto clock system featuring dual crystal oscillators and FPGA-based precision timing, ensures impeccable response times, reducing jitter and timing errors while delivering a wide and natural soundstage.

The Lumin X2’s design features a fully balanced analog output module with Lundahl transformers and compensation circuitry, providing clarity, detail, warmth, and musicality without coloration. Power is supplied by an external dual-toroidal linear power supply with low-noise regulators, separating digital and analog sections, built from solid billet aluminum with thick walls for superior shielding, matching the CNC-machined robust main chassis. Vibration isolation is further enhanced by IsoAcoustics feet, while the minimalist elegance, available in black anodized or raw anodized aluminum, emphasizes build quality and attention to detail.

With up/down sampling up to DSD256 and PCM 384 kHz, the Lumin X2 offers exceptional flexibility in playback and audio processing. Its SFP optical network port ensures full galvanic isolation and maximum compatibility with optical routers and switches. Dual network ports allow daisy-chaining additional devices, such as NAS drives or Lumin music libraries. The X2 supports a wide array of formats and streaming services including Roon, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify, AirPlay, and FLAC internet radio. It also offers digital USB and BNC S/PDIF outputs, along with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, delivering up to 6 Vrms and 3 Vrms respectively. Volume control is handled via Leedh Processing, a lossless digital algorithm that eliminates rounding errors to maintain the highest sonic purity.

Designed for the most discerning audiophiles, the Lumin X2 combines the brand’s tradition of exceptional sound quality with cutting-edge digital technology, offering a transparent, detailed, and immersive listening experience that reveals every nuance of the music with absolute precision and naturalness. Its advanced architecture, carefully selected components, and meticulous control of noise and vibrations make it a benchmark among high-end network music players.
