Lumin T2 Network Music Player

Lumin Pro Tips

You’ve got to hear the Lumin T2 powered by the Sbooster Audiophile Power Supply. Improved bass slam and definition, more body, ease, and increased air. A huge boost in performance for an already impressive component. Highly recommended. Lumin T2 uses the 12-13V Sbooster (it does not work with the Sbooster Ultra upgrade). You will also need the Lumin connection kit (INSTALLED and INCLUDED!!)

 

“I was struck by the Lumin T2’s easy delivery and big, open sound. What was especially impressive was how it reconciled what might seem aural opposites: clarity and warmth, delicacy and strength, speed and color. More than any other digital source component I’ve had in my system, the Lumin T2 got out of the way and delivered the music.”

 

 

“The T2 comes close to the X1’s fast-paced nature, transparency, and dynamic quality, and that’s quite an acheivement for its given price. It was great to discover that in spite of the T2’s open and transparent nature, it was no stranger to organic life-like warmness when needed.”

 

 

The Performance Sweet Spot

LUMIN T2 heralds the first redesign of the classic A1/T1 main boards and chassis. This new approach combines solid CNC panel construction with X1 technology to hit the performance sweet spot.

All-new chassis construction featuring thick CNC panels offers upgraded structural rigidity and shielding from the T1. Also has an internal power supply.
