Lumin D3 Music Streamer

Description

The new LUMIN D3 music streamer inherits the Sabre DAC technology used throughout the rest of our range and combines it with our new all-aluminum compact chassis.

The latest LUMIN processor technology provides DSD256 upsampling and TIDAL Connect bringing audiophile-grade performance within your reach.

The new D3 retains fully balanced design & XLR outputs. New processor & Sabre DAC w/ buffer incl. X1 tech. DSD256/PCM384 up/down-sampling. TIDAL Connect, Airplay 2 & more, INCLUDING PLEX*.  Completely new hardware & software. Increased power & storage capacity. All-new processing system. Full aluminum enclosure, CNC front panel for superior damping. Improves on D2 chassis by eliminating steel.

*Plex is a popular music management service that combines a user's own video, audio, and photos with online streaming services. Controlling apps are available for mobile devices, smart TVs, streaming boxes, web browsers and more.

There are free and subscription-based options.

LUMIN + Plex

LUMIN is the first (and only) high-end audio system that can discover and connect to Plex. No network configuration is required and delivery is bit-perfect.

With the recent launch of Plexamp, Plex have created a music-only platform which is graphically rich and internet-enabled to include Music Recommendations, Artwork & Tag Database, Lyrics, Radio Stations, and more! It also means that LUMIN can be controlled on a wide range of devices, from Linux computers and Smart TVs to web browsers and Raspberry Pi.
