This one’s worth judging against the newer used market, because the M1 is still a current-generation style streamer/DAC and timing matters less than condition and provenance. At £890, it sits well above the recent used median of £659 and even above the £775 upper quartile, so this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain.
That said, the appeal is real: the M1 is widely respected for clean digital playback, solid app-based usability, and a refined all-in-one implementation that can simplify a system without sounding compromised. If it’s in truly excellent shape, from a careful owner, with box and accessories, the premium can make sense for someone who wants a tidy, low-fuss piece. I’d still want to see strong evidence of condition and completeness before paying this much.
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.
