Lumin D2

D2 looks good, is sensibly priced and – thanks to a super-slick app – is a delight to use too

The D2 powers the bass anddrums along with real punch, while also rendering the instrumental andvocal lines with a wide-open sense of timbre and texture

In common with some of the higherend network players, it goes further than just delivering a recording, instead getting the listener into the heart of the music.

If you want the impression of real live musicians plonked in the room in front of you, the D2 delivers.

When unpacking comes the first surprise. Wow! Damn high quality looking device.

In terms of sound, the D2 leaves nothing to be desired.

When I say here that the sound offers a certain empathy and softness, some will immediately put that in the negative corner. But that's fundamentally wrong, because I mean the really nice flow of the game in contrast to the exaggerated attention to detail of some other comparable devices, which can quickly be perceived as exhausting.

Hats off - I can only recommend the Lumin D2 from all points of view, especially since it also allows non-IT experts to easily integrate it into their home hi-fi system.

the player from LUMIN is a result of passion and a love for music

Its sound is like an attractive view and a sunlit side of the house in one.

It's a device that lets you enjoy music no matter what source the files come from.

Add to this the functionality that covers virtually everything a demanding user can expect and we get a device that is simply excellent, and one which a music and emotion lover will find it difficult to find competition for at a similar and even slightly higher price level. LUMIN engineers once again did a great job!

We can conclude that LUMIN does much more than imitate and plays a role at the forefront of streamer development.

The sound of the LUMIN D2 can be called excellent without reservation

We hear a strikingly detailed and smooth character for a player in this class.

You miss nothing when it comes to detail, precision, timing and experience.

LUMIN expresses itself precisely by a beautiful light in the high frequencies but accompanied by a variety of nuances in the higher harmonics taking advantage of the resolution of the best files.

For this budget, you have a perfectly plug and play package

While many DACs and streamers sound unemotional and reserved LUMIN is able to illuminate the music strongly without being harsh or chinking. A musical spring, which touches the soul. Charming! So now it is very clear why Pixel Magic carries "Magic" in its name.
