Lumin U2 Streamer (Music) The Lumin U2 is a brilliant streamer, I upgraded from an Auralic Aries and i was surprised by the difference. This model has fibre connectivity to isolate LAN noise from the audio. Im only selling because I bought Bacch4mac and can no longer stream my music to the main system, I have to connect the Mac directly to the DAC. Roon works seamlessly with the Lumin and an app is also available. I have also tried the Lumin with Plexamp which works fine. Plenty of reviews online and there's an active user group on this forum. I have the original double boxing so I can
A fair-to-strong buy at this level: A$4,700 sits above the A$3,218 median, but still comfortably below the A$6,812 75th percentile, so it reads more as upper-middle market than overpriced. For a Lumin streamer/DAC, that’s a defensible asking price if the unit is clean, current, and fully functional.
What makes it appealing is the brand’s reputation for refined, low-noise digital playback and easy integration into a serious two-channel system. If this is truly in good shape, with original packaging, remote, and a known service history, the upside is solid—especially if you want a long-term digital front end rather than a placeholder. At A$4,700, I’d mainly want confirmation that the firmware, networking, and outputs are all behaving perfectly.
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.
