Lumin’s new T3X Network Player amps-up technologies and electronic design in its highly acclaimed, award winning T3 streaming/DAC platform.
The new Lumin T3X now features a large built-in ultra-low noise linear power supply featuring an “extra-large” power transformer said to be capable of high dynamic range. The stout power supply is fully shielded in order to reduce interactivity with sensitive circuit componentry. Also on-board is Lumin’s latest processing system which is said to provide improved sampling capabilities and higher storage capacity and processing power.
The T3X’s fully balanced design now incorporates a new digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) chip set based around the ESS Technology’s excellent ESS9028PRO in dual-mono configuration. The rear panel features an analogue buffer derived from Lumin’s T1 and includes balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectivity. A gold plated binding post provides grounding link.
On the digital side, there’s an S/PDIF output via BNC and an optical SFP socket (1000Base-T gigabit) is available simultaneously with the ethernet port allowing concurrent NAS connectivity. There are two USB ports for audio and storage and, of course, an RJ45 port for ethernet connectivity. The T3X features dual network interface via its built-in network switch.
The T3X is capable of playing back PCM 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz at 16 and 32-bit rates and native DSD512 via USB. The BNC socket provides support for PCM at 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz from 16 to 24-bit resolution while DSD compatibility is via DoP.
The T3X incorporates the famed Leedh ‘Processing Volume Control’ lossless system. There’s wide file format and streaming service compatibility with Spotify Connect, MQA, Tidal, Tidal Connect, Qobuz and TuneIn. The T3X is Audirvana and AirPlay compatible while also being Roon Ready. Lumin’s playback and music management app is available for iOS and Android operating systems.
Importer Audio Magic told SoundStage! Australia, “The Lumin T3X isn't just a music streamer; it's a statement of audio perfection. Whether you're rediscovering your favourite tracks or exploring new sounds, the T3X ensures every note resonates with unparalleled fidelity.”
The T3X’s chassis is milled from quality high-grade aluminium and is available in natural silver or black anodised finishes. Availability in Australia is via importer Audio Magic’s established countrywide dealer network.
