#LUMIN DOUGH PLUS#
On the plus side, you do get a BNC digital output (PCM 44.1kHz–192kHz, 16–24bit/DSD (DoP, DSD over PCM) 2.8MHz.
But the lack of analogue or digital inputs certainly won’t take any younger buyers by surprise, as in the oft-heard expression: ‘What, who doesn’t store all their music and movies on their computer these days?’ There are only two USB inputs, plus a network connection.

Playback plus the convenience and speed of an on-device playlist. So far as streaming is concerned the D1 supports the UPnP AV protocol with audio streaming extension and offers gapless Like the top-line model, the D1 supports DSD Lossless (DSF/DSD, DIFF/DSD, DoP/DSD), PCM Lossless: (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF)Īnything from 16-bit to 32-bit words. The D1 doesn’t have any front panel controls,īut it’s so much ‘narrower’ than all Lumin’s other components that it’s not hard to pick out in a crowd, despite the visual similarities. It would be difficult to tell them apart. Lumin or Linn, because all the network music players in Lumin’s line look so similar to the A1 that apart from this D1, and the M1 system, (which has front panel controls) Product (the A1 Network Music Player) looked a whole lot like the network music players manufactured in Scotland by Linn, but that obviously didn’t bother either It’s a matter of record that Lumin’s first Producing high-tech digital equipment for more than a decade.
