Lumin U2 Digital Transport and Music Streamer

The LUMIN U2 Network Transport is a top-tier digital streaming transport unit designed for discerning audiophiles. It introduces a new era in high-end digital audio, building upon the success of its predecessor, the LUMIN T3. The U2 pushes the boundaries of digital streaming, providing unparalleled engagement and immersion.

WHY LUMIN U2

After the huge success of our sweet spot price/performance LUMIN T3, LUMIN U2 brings the same design philosophy to a transport for the first time. Taking chassis construction methods, linear power supply design and dual-network from the multi-award-winning LUMIN P1, the all-new LUMIN U2 brings high-end digital right into the heart of the LUMIN range.
