The LUMIN S1 is a discontinued high-end network music player with an integrated DAC, designed for playback of files and network-streaming services. It uses four ESS SABRE ES9018 DAC chips—two per channel—with a fully balanced analogue output stage and a separate dual-toroidal power supply. It supports PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD64/DSD128, with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue outputs, plus digital outputs including HDMI and BNC S/PDIF. LUMIN’s official archive identifies the product as the S1; it does not substantiate a separate S1 MkII model.
