We’re delighted to introduce LUMIN’s highly capable and feature rich ‘U2 Mini’ digital transport to UK audiophile music streamers. Building on the unqualified success of its predecessor, the U2 Mini design includes completely new processing hardware and software delivering heightened resampling flexibility while retaining all the musicality for which Lumin is celebrated. Faster processing enables network playback up to DSD512 and 768kHz, 16–32-bit stereo and MQA Decoding, with sampling in both directions from 44.1kHz to 384kHz/DSD256. Supported audio file formats include DSD Lossless, PCM Lossless: FLAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, and AIFF; MP3, AAC and MQA, while the Roon Ready U2 Mini is also compatible with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, FLAC, Lossless Radio, TuneIn Radio and AirPlay. Playback is gapless.
Finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from Lumin’s high-end P1 audio hub, the U2 Mini is controlled by the "fantastically intuitive and easy to use" Lumin control app and includes a Leedh lossless digital volume control and is compatible with the LUMIN Infrared control package.
