Streamer - Lumin U2/Auralic Aries/Aurender etc. Streamer (Music) Gday All; I am after a good pure streamer (no DAC). Pls let me know what you have. Prefer vgc or better, with packaging. regards, Condition: VGC or better. Payment Method: Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Ray H 1 Comments AUD $4,500 Date: February 23, 20251 yr
Timing doesn’t really change the value here: this is an older-generation network streamer, and the real question is whether you want a proven classic or would rather pay for a newer platform. Against your own market data, A$4,500 sits above the A$3,218 median and well above the A$2,165 25th percentile, but still inside the upper half of recent asks; I’d call it fairly ambitious, not a bargain.
What makes it appealing is the usual Lumin strength: clean, low-noise digital transport, strong build quality, and a reputation for sounding refined and effortlessly musical with a good external DAC. If the unit is complete and in genuinely tidy condition, the upside is getting a well-regarded streamer without paying new-model money; I’d just want confirmation of included power supply, remote/app control, and any original packaging, since those details matter more on a purchase at this level.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lumin traces its roots to Hong Kong's Pixel Magic Systems Ltd., established around 2004 as a specialist in video processing and upscalers. In 2012, leveraging expertise in software development, the company launched its first product under the Lumin brand: the A1, the world's inaugural DSD-capable network streamer. This pivotal debut marked Lumin's shift from video to high-fidelity audio, born from a conviction that existing streamers fell short of true potential.
The brand concentrates exclusively on premium network music players and streamers, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or headphones in favor of dedicated digital transport solutions. Models like the flagship P2, compact P1 Mini, and expanding lineup of nine players integrate advanced digital and analog stages, prioritizing seamless streaming, natural sound reproduction, and ongoing software refinements for formats including DSD and high-resolution files.
Positioned firmly in the high-end audiophile market, Lumin commands respect for its exceptional build quality, stability, and immersive performance, with products designed and assembled in Hong Kong. Praised in industry reviews for redefining network playback, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking uncompromised digital sources that rival traditional hi-fi components.
