Lumin P1 Streamer/DAC/Preamp
LUMIN P1 STREAMER/DAC/PREAMP NOW AVAILABLE IN THE UK
The Lumin P1 Streamer/DAC/Preamp is now available in the UK.
The Lumin P1’s design, which is dual-mono from input to output, involves dual Femto re-clocking oscillators, dual ES9028PRO SABRE DACs, 32-bit precision volume control with LEEDH processing and a fully-balanced analogue output stage (also used in the flagship LUMIN X1 player), fed by a new dual-toroidal linear power supply.
NINE INPUTS
The Lumin P1 has nine digital/analogue inputs. The XMOS USB input supports native DSD512 and PCM384, while TOSLINK, SPDIF (RCA) and AES inputs support up to 192kHz 24bit data. Three HDMI 2.0 inputs support 2.0 PCM audio decoding and the passthrough of HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, DTS via an ARC compatible HDMI output. Meanwhile, balanced XLR and co-axial RCA input/outputs handle pure analogue signals with the care expected of a traditional high-performance preamplifier. Additionally, PCM and DSD up-sampling is available for any digital input, while a dual-network interface manages switching between the P1’s Ethernet and SFP fibre ports, providing isolation from network noise.
LUMIN APP
Control over playback and settings, input selection, per-input volume memory and custom input labels is available from the Lumin app or via a new Roon-ready handheld remote, made in Austria from acrylic and zinc. The new infrared receiver built into the Lumin P1 is compatible with universal remote controls, phones, and automation systems.
