LUMIN D3 brings the audiophile potential of music streaming within everyone's reach. Building on the success of our most popular and longest-standing model, LUMIN D3 inherits the Sabre DAC technology used throughout the rest of our range and combines it with our new all-aluminium compact chassis. The latest LUMIN processor technology provides DSD256 upsampling and TIDAL Connect bringing audiophile-grade performance within your reach.

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

  • ES9028PRO DAC with up to DSD256 & PCM384 playback support
  • Analogue buffer includes LUMIN X1 technology
  • Ultra-low-noise and high dynamic range

Full aluminium enclosure

  • The thick CNC front panel and new all-aluminium enclosure provide superior damping performance
  • Improves on D2 chassis by eliminating steel

Builds on the massive success of LUMIN D1 & D2

Completely new processing hardware and software deliver improved features and increased resampling flexibility while retaining all the musicality that was noted in so many outstanding D1 & D2 reviews.

The new model is also finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from our high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.
