General : Luxury Lumin streamer with a dual high-end DAC and precision components. Supports DSD512/ 384kHz, MQA and is Roon Ready. This Lumin T2 is supplied with S-Booster power supply.

Technology : The Lumin T2 is the first new design after the Lumin A1/T1 models. After the D1 and S1, the A1/T1 are now also due for a remake. The new T2 Lumin streamer combines a robust CNC panel construction with X1 technology to deliver the best possible performance at this price point.

The chassis was completely redesigned for the T2. It is composed of solid aluminum CNC panels, which are invisibly connected to each other. The front, like Lumin's reference player, the X1, is beautifully curved and accommodates the dimmable or switchable display. The connections on the rear are recessed into the chassis, keeping them out of sight.

Lumin belongs to the select group of manufacturers that develop and manufacture everything in-house. In addition to the hardware, such as the digital data processor, the required processing software and control app are also developed in-house, allowing them to be optimally coordinated with each other. This is a distinct advantage over manufacturers who source streamers from third parties and have to implement them in their own equipment. This often leads to compromises and/or adjustments that come at the expense of sound quality or ease of operation.

A new processor was developed for the T2, which offers DSD512 and 384KHz playback. Coupled with a dual ES9028PRO SABRE D/A converter, this creates a high-quality and audiophile signal path. To ensure that the digital data stays properly synchronized, a high-quality and discrete clock system is used. Precise timing, essential for playback quality, is thus guaranteed. Of course, the entire design is fully balanced and only high-quality components are used. The analog output buffer circuit has been completely redesigned and offers ultra-low noise and high dynamic range in addition to audio-grade output capacitors.

The T2 also features a precise 32-bit digital volume control, allowing volume to be easily adjusted via the Lumin app without compromising sound quality. There is also a USB digital audio output that provides audio data in the highest bit and sample rates to an external DAC with the corresponding input.

Like all other Lumin players, the T2 also offers numerous features that make music streaming an extremely pleasant activity. The T2 plays all (high-resolution) audio files you can imagine (MQA full decoding, Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, MQA, TIDAL, Qobuz, Airplay and TuneIn Internet Radio). In addition, PCM & DSD resampling provides full control over the bit and sample rates of your music files.

The Lumin app, developed in-house, is suitable for both iOS and Android and leaves nothing to be desired. The setup menu allows the user to configure many properties of the Lumin streamer, as well as control the app itself, so that functionality and ease of use contribute positively to the music experience.

S-Booster : The standard switch-mode power supply in the T2 has been replaced with a high-quality linear power supply, the S-Booster. This power supply is more powerful, quieter and more stable. The power supply is also separate from the T2, so they cannot negatively affect each other. The result is a fuller and more dynamic sound.

Sound : We connected the Lumin T2 in our listening rooms to hear how good it sounds. And we must say, the Lumin T2 sounds excellent. Better than its predecessor, the T1, and even the Lumin A1. The built-in DA Converter is clearly of very good quality. The dynamics and 3D imaging are excellent. The sound is somewhat warm and very differentiated. All in all, the Lumin T2 is an outstanding audio streamer with many capabilities.
