Lumin U1 Streaming Transport – Silver

Here we have a beautifully made and superbly engineered digital music transport from Chinese company Lumin. To keep the unit as neat and simple as possible there are no physical buttons, control is via an app which is available for both iOS and Android devices. The U1 network streamer comes with a separate power supply unit and, as it is a “transport” only device, you will need to connect it to a digital to analogue converter. Our example comes in very good condition with a couple of feint marks on the right hand side – please see photographs. It is supplied in original factory packaging along with manual, mains cable, ethernet cable, and gloves.
