U1 and U2-Mini review quotes

Draws the very best aspects from throughout the LUMIN range

New processing hardware and software first introduced with the U2-Mini and T3

The best features used from our flagship players such as Fibre Networking, Linear Power Supply and Dual-stage voltage regulators

New for a LUMIN Transport - U2 uses CNC panel construction finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.

Review quotes

Musical performance

We put a huge amount of effort into sourcing the highest-grade matching components, creating truly balanced circuits, designing cases that shield from interference, etc, etc, but it's only important if the end result effectively communicates the intentions of the artist.

Notably, the common thread in every published and consumer review of all LUMIN products is musicality.
