Why Lumin U2?

Following the tremendous success of the price-performance superstar LUMIN T3, the LUMIN U2 brings the same design philosophy to a streaming transporter for the first time. By adopting the chassis construction, the linear power supply design, and the dual network of the multi-award-winning LUMIN P1, the new LUMIN U2 brings high-end digital technology directly into the heart of the LUMIN product range.
