Award for LUMIN P1 Mini!

Stereonet have published their LUMIN P1 Mini review, presenting it with their 'Applause' Award

"the Lumin never misses a beat with its precise timing."

"The Lumin lets you enjoy music with its authoritative dynamics and transparency. It manages to dig deep into recordings while being kind to less-than-stellar recordings – which is no small feat."

"impressively detailed yet musical sound"

"performs exceptionally well for its price"

6moons

December 2024

Frederic Beudot has published his fantastic review of LUMIN P1 Mini for 6moons.

During the review, Frederic states:

"In a nutshell then, the P1 Mini is absolutely delightful as a streaming DAC..."

"aside from the most extreme attenuation scenarios, the Leedh [volume] algorithm performs admirably and is essentially invisible"

"It's frankly been a while since I had a component which I just listened to and enjoyed this much"

"...one of the most enjoyable one-box streaming solutions I've heard in a long time."

Hi-Fi Class

November 2024

Hi-Fi Class have published their review of LUMIN P1 Mini awarding it a full 5 stars and their 'Recommended' badge!

During the fabulous review Marek Dyba states:

"These are incredibly musical devices, which, starting from the first model introduced to the market (then simply called Lumin, and later renamed A1), make digital files sound very analog and natural. And this is something that a vinyl fan like me highly appreciates."

"The Lumin P1 Mini was able to enchant me not only with the naturalness of the sound, high level of energy, but also with a large, deep stage filled with large, tangible virtual sources and lots of air."

"in each case brought music and emotions to the forefront of these recordings. Where PRAT (tempo, rhythm and timing) was important, you can't say a bad word about it."

"the coherence, fluidity and naturalness of the sound made a great impression"

"All you need is a good power amplifier and speakers and you have a complete high-class system"
