Product Description
The introduction of a fully discrete DAC architecture marks a milestone in LUMIN’s digital evolution.
By building the converter from individually selected components, every aspect of the digital-to-analogue process can be precisely optimised - from circuit topology and power delivery to clocking and signal integrity.
Tailored to Lumin's streaming engine, this cohesive and stable foundation sets the stage for the next chapter of flagship design.
