The Lumin T3 Network Music Player connects directly to your preamplifier or active loudspeakers via balanced XLR and single-ended RCA outputs, using high-speed Ethernet networking to stream your entire music collection with exceptional clarity. Representing a high benchmark among digital DAC's network players, this streamer brings your favourite tracks to life with natural tone and engaging musicality, whether streaming high-resolution services or navigating a local music library.Dual-Mono Processing for Clear Sound:At the core of the unit is a dual ESS SABRE ES9028Pro converter configuration operating in dual-mono mode. By processing the left and right channels entirely independently, the system minimises crosstalk and maintains a wide, spacious soundstage. Vocals sound clear and intimate, while acoustic instruments retain their natural presence and detail. Full playback support for formats up to DSD512 and 384kHz PCM ensures that high-resolution recordings are rendered with complete accuracy.Lossless Volume Control and Solid Shielding:Equipped with Leedh Processing digital volume control, the Lumin T3 adjusts listening levels digitally without discarding musical data or compressing dynamic range, allowing you to connect directly to power amplifiers. The solid CNC-machined aluminum chassis provides structural rigidity and protects sensitive internal circuits from environmental electrical interference. A clear front-panel display presents track names, artist information, and sampling rates without introducing electrical noise into the signal path.Authorized Dealer:We are an authorized dealer for Lumin.
