Lumin U2 NEW - Network Transport

THE NEXT GENERATION STREAMING TRANSPORT

An all-new LUMIN for DAC owners; LUMIN U2 focusses on pure digital.

Why LUMIN U2

After the huge success of our sweetspot price/performance LUMIN T3, LUMIN U2 brings the same design philosophy to a transport for the first time.

Taking chassis construction methods, linear power supply design and dual-network from the multi-award-winning LUMIN P1, the all-new LUMIN U2 brings high-end digital right into the heart of the LUMIN range.
