A very impressive looking piece of kit with specification & functionality which will take a little time to read & digest. :+1:

what’s the price of this thing (not seeing it on Lumin site)

Lumin said it will be close to $10,000.

For those who did not attend the show. It sounded great. I’m impressed by the T3X.


I tried to find @wklie but was told he was not there. He is a big reason I’m willing to invest in Lumin hardware and I wanted to say thank you.

Hello Peter @wklie! If you connect an external clock to the U2X, can you simultaneously distribute from the U2X clock outputs to two other devices (DAC, Switch…)? :thinking:

My reading of the Lumin announcement suggests that two devices could be connected to the U2X in order to synchronize all devices to a master clock.

:face_with_spiral_eyes:

Yes, this is what I was told at the show.

I have my fingers crossed for them to make a stand alone DAC :crossed_fingers:t2:

Yes, output 10MHz to two devices, from either an external 10MHz clock, or the U2X internal OCXO.

I looked at their website and they were vague about whether this device could actually serve as a Roon core. I’d really like to move my core off my PC, and there are some impressive streamers out there, but I’ve yet to find one with a significant processor ( i5 or better) and 8tb SSD storage on the motherboard. So far the ASUS NUC 15 pro+ looks like my best option.

U2X is not a roon core.

I recommend using Roon rock on a NUC.

None of the Lumin devices serve as a Roon Server (Core).
