Lumin U2 Mini

The Lumin U2 Mini transport offers high-quality music streaming for every music lover with their own DAC or amplifier with digital input. This new incarnation of Lumin’s most popular streaming transport has everything needed for a pure musical experience of everything. It reproduces and is equipped with a front plate of luxurious brushed aluminum, similar to the finish of the P1.

Lumin U2 Mini: features

Like its predecessor, the U2 Mini can handle almost any digital format offered to it. But thanks to a completely new, much faster processor and an improved processor design, the resampling capabilities have been expanded, laying the foundation for an even more stable future.

Through the software, upsampling and downsampling with an even greater range are now possible (up to DSD256/PCM384) and the Lumin U2 Mini naturally features the Quad Native Clock System for perfect timing. Incoming signals are accepted via USB and of course the Gigabit network connection. The user has access to five digital outputs, including USB.

New on the U2 Mini

New on the U2 Mini is the support for AirPlay 2, for even more streaming convenience. Proven techniques such as LEEDH Processing for lossless digitally controlled volume control, MQA support, a robust housing with shielded power supply, and the smart Lumin Music App are of course also standard features of the Lumin U2 Mini.

The Lumin U2 Mini streaming transport supports almost all digital audio formats, such as DSD Lossless (DSF (DSD), DIFF (DSD) DoP (DSD), Flac, ALAC, WAV, AIFF, MP2, and AAC (in M4A container). The sample rates and bit depths supported by the U2 Mini are for PCM 44.1kHz-768kHz, 16-32-bit stereo, and DSD512 1-bit stereo.

Through the handy app, the user has access to Tidal (with MQA support), Qobuz, Flac Lossless Radio, and of course all music from their own digital collection via the UPnP AV protocol. Multiroom (songcast), Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and AirPlay 2 complete the picture. And of course, the Lumin U2 Mini is Roon Ready, like all Lumin products.

Available in black or silver.
