Following the huge success of LUMIN D2, Lumin investigated the possibility of making the LUMIN U2 transport technology similarly accessible. The result is a huge specification in a compact package. Capable of upsampling and downsampling all the way from 44.1kHz to DSD128 and supporting playback of DSD256, LUMIN U2 MINI matches the U2 in almost every area - except price.
As well as supporting DSD output over SPDIF (via DoP), LUMIN U2 mini also adds DSD256 digital output via 2 new USB ports.
