Description
Lumin X2 Network Player (Silver)
A New LUMIN Core
With a brand new in-house discrete DAC at its heart, LUMIN X2 is built around absolute precision in digital-to-analogue conversion. Every aspect of the system has been engineered for accuracy, stability and musicality.
Why LUMIN X2
After years of in-house development, LUMIN X2 debuts an all-new discrete DAC architecture — a major milestone in LUMIN’s digital evolution. By constructing the converter from individually selected components, LUMIN achieves total control over circuit topology, clocking, power delivery and signal integrity. Tailored specifically to the LUMIN streaming engine, this design establishes a remarkably coherent and stable platform for the next generation of flagship performance.
A New Core
This fully custom DAC is the centrepiece of a completely redesigned system. Circuit layout, power management and clocking have been refined to maximise coherence, resulting in exceptional precision in network audio playback.
Controlled Signal Path
Every stage of the DAC has been engineered with optimised routing and component placement to reduce interference and preserve channel separation.
Low-Noise Operation
Advanced power management and custom circuitry minimise electrical noise, ensuring the DAC operates in a highly stable environment for superior clarity.
Reduced Timing Errors
The discrete layout allows direct implementation of clocking and conversion stages without unnecessary frequency dividers, significantly reducing jitter.
Every Calculation Tailored for X2
The dual-mono architecture, 32-bit processing and ultra-high-speed FPGA control ensure uncompromised analytical precision and musical refinement.
Latest Processing System
LUMIN X2 is the first flagship to feature the newest LUMIN processor, offering greater power, storage and resampling flexibility. Originally launched in 2022, this platform provides enhanced audio processing capabilities and future-proof longevity.
External Dual-Toroidal Power Supply
A dedicated linear PSU delivers clean, stable power through dual toroidal transformers, supporting maximum performance from both analogue and digital stages.
Low-Noise Linear Regulation
Separation of digital and analogue circuits, thick aluminium shielding and high-quality components ensure exceptionally low noise throughout the system.
Femto Clock System
Dual femto crystal oscillators paired with FPGA-controlled distribution provide precise timing, perfectly matching the LUMIN discrete DAC.
New Output Buffer Design
The fully balanced analogue output module features transformer-compensated circuitry that enhances clarity, detail, warmth and poise.
Dual-Mono Power Supply
A two-stage low-noise regulator supplies the analogue converters, maximising channel separation and dynamic stability.
Lundahl Output Transformers
Dual Lundahl transformers deliver a natural, analogue-inspired sound signature beloved by LUMIN listeners since the original A1.
Built-In Optical Network
First introduced with LUMIN X1, the optical network input provides complete isolation from electrical noise. Dual Ethernet ports also allow daisy-chaining other devices such as NAS systems.
Builds on the Success of X1
The award-winning LUMIN X1 set a global benchmark for digital streaming. LUMIN X2 builds on this legacy, improving every aspect to deliver even more transparency and musicality.
Continuous Development
The entire LUMIN range benefits from ongoing software and hardware improvements. Recent updates added Qobuz Connect, KKBox, QQMusic, TIDAL Max, Plex server support, upgraded Spotify Connect quality, new FLAC radio stations, JPlay iOS support and more — all free for every LUMIN owner.
Advanced Streaming Services
LUMIN players support a broad ecosystem of premium services including Roon, TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Qobuz Connect, Spotify, KKBox, QQMusic, FLAC radio stations and more. Some services may require a subscription.
Leedh Processing
All LUMIN players now include Leedh Processing — an innovative lossless digital volume control algorithm that eliminates rounding errors and preserves full resolution across all listening levels.
