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 enclousure 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.
