Lumin X1 

Why LUMIN X1

Our flagship music player and its unique separate power supply are cut from solid aluminium billet for maximum rigidity and isolation performance.

LUMIN X1 became the world’s first network music player to feature optical fibre networking to provide complete isolation from network digital noise.

Flagship engineering throughout

• Solid billet CNC chassis for maximum stiffness and isolation
• External solid billet CNC dual-toroidal linear PSU
• Dual ES9038PRO SABRE DACs featuring 140dB dynamic range
• Native DSD512 & PCM768 playback
• Dual mono design throughout maximises channel separation
• Femto clock system with precision FPGA distribution
• Our finest output buffer design
• Dual mono dual stage linear regulator
• Fibre network for complete isolation from network digital noise
• USB digital audio output supports native DSD512

External dual-toroidal linear power supply

• Solid billet construction using all the same techniques as the main chassis
• Thick aluminium walls provide even more shielding
• Separate digital and analogue circuitry
• Low-noise Linear Regulator
• The highest quality components used throughout
• Available as an upgrade for existing S1 / A1 / U1 / T1 customers

All the usual LUMIN refinements

• From MQA to DSD, FLAC to WAV, LUMIN can play all the high-resolution formats you could ever want
• Native support for TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify and AirPlay-compatible, giving you access to tens of millions of songs
• The unique and intuitive LUMIN App described as "the most convenient interface in existence" by TINMAN
• LUMIN programme of continuous development that has seen Roon, MQA, and Spotify support added in 2017 alone.

Advanced streaming services & technologies

Every LUMIN player comes with support for a wide range of popular streaming services including Roon, TIDAL, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Spotify,  QQMusic, FLAC Radio Stations and more...

Lossless volume control for all LUMIN players.

An innovative new digital volume adjustment algorithm that eliminates rounding errors is now included (at no additional cost) on all LUMIN players!
