Taking it to the next level
Building on the success of the A1 – the original audiophile DSD streamer – S1 brings you even more of the music.
Why Lumin S1?
Improving on the massively successful LUMIN A1 was never going to be easy, it involved tuning every part of the system to complement the new SABRE32 DAC chips, including revising the clocking system and enhancing the external dual-toroidal power supply.
The result is all the characteristic LUMIN musicality alongside greater resolution and dynamics.
Improvements throughout
- Includes DSD128 5.6Mhz 1-bit playback
- 4 ESS SABRE32 ES9018 DAC chips 2 units per channel delivering 16 DACs per channel in parallel
- New clocking system
- Enhanced external dual-toroidal power supply
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, 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
