The LUMIN P1 is a high-end stereo network music player, streaming DAC, and analogue preamplifier. It combines network playback over wired Ethernet or optical fibre with extensive digital and analogue inputs, HDMI 2.0 switching and ARC, high-resolution USB audio, full MQA decoding, and balanced or single-ended analogue outputs. Its architecture uses dual ES9028PRO SABRE DACs in mono mode, dual Femto crystal oscillators with FPGA clock distribution, dual-mono analogue circuitry, Leedh 32-bit lossless digital volume control, separate digital and analogue power supplies, and a built-in dual-toroidal linear power supply. It supports PCM up to 384 kHz/32-bit and native DSD512, and is designed for integration with a power amplifier or active loudspeakers. The unit is available in natural/silver aluminium or black-anodized aluminium finishes. Current manufacturer and distributor information indicates that the LUMIN P1 remains an active product rather than a discontinued model.
