WHY LUMIN X2
After years of dedicated in-house R&D, LUMIN X2 introduces our brand-new discrete DAC!
The introduction of a fully discrete DAC architecture marks a milestone in LUMIN’s digital evolution.
By building the converter from individually selected components, every aspect of the digital-to-analogue process can be precisely optimised — from circuit topology and power delivery to clocking and signal integrity.
Tailored to our streaming engine, this cohesive and stable foundation sets the stage for the next chapter of our flagship design.
