The D3 is a fully balanced design and offers XLR analog outputs. The discrete clock system offers ultra-low-jitter performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with other Lumins, the D3 offers u\u003c\/span\u003eltra-low-noise, a high dynamic range, and a pacey, incisive presentation. Also, it is finished in a new silky surfacing process taken from the high-end P1 that is less susceptible to finger marks and easier to clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLEEDH Volume Control\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLumin’s LEEDH lossless digital volume processing was a major upgrade delivered free over-the-air to all Lumin products. LEEDH is a significant improvement over a traditional digital volume control design. Some Upscale customers and employees have even removed preamps from their systems, finding LEEDH to be better-sounding than the analog volume knobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEEDH processing is roughly analogous to a resistor ladder volume in that there is a set of specific steps of loudness from silent to 100%. These steps are calculated to be where the digital attenuation results in an exact answer. As a simplified example, it might choose to divide 15 by 3 and get 5.0, rather than 14 by 3 and get 4.66666666667, which is truncated to 4.66 by \"throwing away bits.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLEEDH processing preserves detail, dynamics, and transparency even at low volume levels—without the resolution loss of traditional digital volume controls. Found in ultra-high-end products like the $72,000 Soulution 760 DAC, Lumin brings this advanced technology from their flagship X2 all the way down to the D3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Upscale View\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLumin is THE brand for hi-fi enthusiasts who don't need touchscreens, knobs, and a host of extra features. With its background in broadcast engineering, Lumin epitomizes providing the lowest noise and most stable, high-bandwidth circuits. On a Lumin, everything extraneous can be turned off: unused outputs, unused processing streams such as Roon and Lumin streaming, the display, and even the RJ45 LEDs. The result of this tight focus is a light, lithe, airy sound with a huge, natural soundstage, and no artificial warmth or bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSure, the Lumin app takes a little getting used to, but once you're comfortable, it's fast, stable and most of all, sounds the best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eES9028PRO DAC with up to DSD256 and PCM384 playback support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew surface finish taken from the high-end P1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpsampling and downsampling to every supported format up to DSD256\/PCM384\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTIDAL Connect and Airplay 2 Compatible as well as Roon Ready, Spotify Connect, MQA, TIDAL, Qobuz, Plex and TuneIn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSampling Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to DSD256, up to 384kHz 32 bit PCM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e ESS SABRE32 ES9028Pro \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (WDH):\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.8\" x 9.6\" x 2.36\" (300 x 244 x 60 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lumin","offers":[{"title":"Silver","offer_id":42671883223224,"sku":"LUM D3 SIL","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":42671883255992,"sku":"LUM D3 BLK","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/LUMIN-D3-Silver-front.jpg?v=1741630085","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.pro\/products\/lumin-d3-network-music-player","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
