Lumin P1 Network Player

The Lumin P1 is a streaming DAC with analog and digital inputs. It incorporates a lossless volume control, and has the dual FPGA femto clock from their flagship streamer, the X1. This is Lumin's most versatile product yet.

Call it an audio hub, or a digital preamp, or a preamp with a DAC. The Lumin P1 is capable of serving multiple roles in an ever-evolving high-end audio system. It can function as a high-end digital transport for an external DAC. Or, use it as a digital source for a preamp or integrated amp. With onboard high-quality LEEDH volume processing, it can even be connected directly to a power amp.

With one XLR and one RCA stereo input, you can integrate a turntable or other analog source. Also, the P1 features HDMI passthrough, allowing it to integrate with home cinema systems.

LUMIN P1 takes many flagship features from the outstanding LUMIN X1:

Fiber Networking

Immensely popular on the X1, optical networking provides complete isolation from network noise. Additionally, dual network ports mean that you can connect LUMIN L1 or a NAS directly to P1.

Dual Femto Clock

P1 includes dual Femto crystal oscillators and our proprietary FPGA clock distribution system first debuted in X1.

Output Buffer

The fully balanced Dual Mono analogue output module including legendary Lundahl Output transformers has been keeping music-lovers happy since the original LUMIN A1.

Dual Toroidal Power Supply

The roomy P1 chassis provides space to move the X1 toroids inboard for a cleaner installation, while retaining all the benefits of separate analogue and digital circuits.
