Builds on the massive success of U1 Mini
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 U1 Mini reviews.
Key hardware features carried over from U1 Mini include the quad clocking system and 5 different digital outputs with USB now capable of up to DSD512!
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.

Take control
The LUMIN App is created in harmony with the LUMIN hardware to deliver the most intuitive and visually rich way to browse, select and play your music collection.
It represents our vision of how to make music browsing and playback easy, visual, and tactile.
Once one tries navigating music with LUMIN there’s no turning back.
Always one step ahead
LUMIN is always evolving. The full LUMIN range benefits from our programme of continuous development, allowing you to relax in the knowledge that wherever possible we’ll bring you the latest streaming technologies.
In 2017 every LUMIN model gained compatibility with Roon, MQA and Spotify Connect — all absolutely free of charge.
Musical performance
We put a huge amount of effort into sourcing the highest-grade matching components, creating truly balanced circuits, designing cases that shield from interference, etc, etc, but it’s only important if the end result effectively communicates the intentions of the artist.
Notably, the common thread in every published and consumer review of all LUMIN products is musicality.

LEEDH PROCESSING DIGITAL VOLUME CONTROL
Lossless volume control for all LUMIN players.
LUMIN users now have the option to use (at no additional cost) Leedh Processing Volume Control instead of the default processing algorithm.
What is Leedh Processing?
- An innovative new digital volume adjustment algorithm that eliminates rounding errors.
- Modifies the digital signal amplitude exactly, without any changes to its shape and free from any kind of information loss.
- Uses more efficient whole number volume values to maintain audio information integrity during subsequent DAC conversion.
- Low processing power requirements free up cpu resources.
- Removes need for a pre-amplifier in more systems.
- Improves the quality of the signal into LUMIN Amp.
Leedh Processing is an innovation of Gilles Millot of Acoustical Beauty, a French manufacturer of high end loudspeakers who already holds several patents for his innovative designs and technologies.
How to use Leedh Processing
With LUMIN, it is easy to try Leedh Processing for yourself.
You can choose whether to use Leedh Processing, use the traditional digital volume control algorithm, or use neither.
For LUMIN M1, Leedh Processing is the default choice – see below for how to turn it off.
For all other LUMIN players, there are 3 typical scenarios:
Scenario 1
Typical traditional system
Scenario 2
Bypassing your pre-amp volume control
Scenario 3
Eliminate a pre-amp completely
Note: For simplicity, a separate DAC has been ommitted from these diagrams, but all 3 scenarios still apply.
Turning Leedh Processing off
Leedh Processing is now automatically enabled by default for all LUMIN players
However, if you wish to carry out A/B testing or turn it off completely, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings, Select a LUMIN unit to control (‘Living Room A1’ in this example)
- Tap Options under the LUMIN unit name
- Scroll down to ‘Leedh Processing Volume’
- Choose either ‘On’ or ‘Off’
Note:Â Leedh Processing has no effect when LUMIN volume is set at 100%
