Description
Lumin U2X Flagship Network Transport
Engineered to deliver unparalleled sonic performance, the U2X sets a new benchmark in digital audio streaming, surpassing its predecessors with cutting-edge technology and innovative features.
Building on the success of the acclaimed U1X, the U2X incorporates key technologies from LUMIN’s flagship X1 model, elevating the musical experience to extraordinary heights. This state-of-the-art device is designed to meet the demands of audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking pristine sound quality and seamless functionality.
Equaling X1 in both status and build-quality, LUMIN U2X is a completely new flagship streaming transport designed to be the ultimate in digital output.
LUMIN U2X and its separate power supply use the indestructible single-billet CNC chassis construction methods from LUMIN X1 and focusses on transport-specific innovations like a newly developed isolated circuit architecture for the increasingly common USB digital output.
Also completely new for U2X are our most advanced clocking circuits to date which include new 10M clock input and output connections.
Features:
- State-of-the-Art SoC Processor: Equipped with LUMIN’s latest System-on-Chip (SoC) processor, the U2X delivers a significant boost in processing power, enabling enhanced upsampling and sophisticated signal handling.
- Wide Format Support: Compatible with various file formats, the U2X supports high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512.
- Comprehensive Digital Outputs: Offers a range of outputs, including USB, SPDIF, AES/EBU, and TOSLINK, for versatile connectivity.
- External Dedicated Power Supply: Utilizing the same low-noise external power supply as the X1, the U2X ensures optimal sonic performance with minimal interference.
- Isolated USB Outputs: For the first time, a dedicated isolated USB port is available to connect to your DAC, further isolating your DAC and the rest of the system from your network.
- 10MHz Clock In/Out Support: Equipped internally with a high-precision 10MHz crystal, the U2X can act as a master or slave to synchronize precisely with external devices for enhanced audio accuracy and fidelity.
- User-Friendly Interface: The LUMIN app offers seamless control over your music library, making it easy to access and organize your favorite tracks. Available on iOS and Android devices, the U2X is also Audirvana and Roon Ready certified.
- Network Flexibility: With support for optical networking, the U2X can be completely isolated from the rest of your network, minimizing interference.
- Stream from Anywhere: Supports a wide range of digital streaming sources, including Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Qobuz Connect, KKBOX, TuneIn, and AirPlay.
