Lumin T3

Streaming Dual-mono Sabre DAC and LEEDH Lossless Volume. Roon Ready & Native MQA Support

The Lumin T3 streaming DAC redefines the greatest quality of Lumin’s one-piece components and is based on the wildly popular Lumin T2. In accordance with Lumin’s higher end offerings, the T3 contains entirely new  and improved processing hardware and software that provide new features, more resampling flexibility, and better software update possibilities. The dual-mono DAC in the T3 uses the same two ES9028Pro SABRE chips as the T2 and provides excellent detail along with Lumin’s renowned musicality and speed.

What We Like About Lumin:

Great sound, a great in-house designed app, and stability, stability, stability. Beyond that, the ability to stream and decode MQA is a plus, and the new 32 bit volume control with adjustable analog output voltage is a welcome option for those who want to run the T3 as a streamer, DAC and preamp.

ALL-NEW PROCESSING SYSTEM:

• Completely new hardware and software provide a new foundation for LUMIN
• Increased processing power and storage capacity provide greater resampling flexibility and future-proofing

PRECISION ANALOGUE OUTPUT STAGE:

• Analog buffer includes LUMIN X1 technology
• Dual-mono circuitry throughout
• Ultra-low-noise and high dynamic range

Reviews

• Audiophile Style
• StereoNet (Australia)
• High Fidelity (Poland)

Recommended Cables

We highly recommend using Audience AU24 SX Balanced or AU24 SX single ended interconnects with the T3. The AU24 SX warmth and richness is a synergistic compliment to the highly resolving nature of the T3.
