Lumin S1 Network Music Player

 

Winner of the Six Moons “Blue Moon” Award

 

“To me the S1 is one of the most attractive one-box digital contenders I’ve had opportunity to hear. Perhaps the greatest strength of the S1 resides in a kind of sonic and functional coherence that I do not find with potential competitors… The LUMIN S1 to my ears combines the rare ability of sounding pristine, precise, warm and rhythmically involving all at once… The LUMIN S1 delivers an enormously appealing and involving musical presentation which will become my new reference as a still-affordable digital front-end to consequently demand a Blue Moon award.”
— JOËL CHEVASSUS, SIXMOONS.COM

 

Winner of The Absolute Sound’s 2017 Golden Ear Awards

“The Lumin A1 network player has been my go-to network player since I reviewed it in Issue 248. It did everything I wanted a digital component to do. Then Lumin dropped by with its flagship, the S1, and all bets were off. Although the S1 is virtually indistinguishable from the A1 on the outside, pop its hood and the damning evidence presents itself ... Sonically, it has a warmer, weightier, more open, airy sound (and that’s saying a lot next to the A1). Bass was well-nigh pitch-perfect and rich in complex textures. Upper harmonics and decay characteristics were more naturally resolved, and perhaps most telling was the even more richly dimensional soundstage. The S1 draws the listener closer to the recorded event than ever before.”
— NEIL GADER, THE ABSOLUTE SOUND

 

Lumin S1

Lumin’s FLAGSHIP model, The LUMIN S1 Network Music Player adds DSD128 5.6Mhz support by utilizing 4 ESS SABRE32 Reference DAC chips to deliver a total of 16 DACs per channel in parallel.

While LUMIN S1 brings greater resolution and a more dynamic sound, no stone has been left unturned to ensure that the characteristic LUMIN musicality is delivered. This has involved tuning every part of the system to complement these new DAC chips, including revising the clocking system and enhancing the external dual-toroidal power supply.
