Lumin D3 Network Player

Lumin D3 Network Player

High-end LUMIN streaming performance in a compact and approachable package.

The LUMIN D3 is built for listeners who want to make streaming a serious part of their hi-fi system without stepping all the way up to LUMIN’s flagship models. Replacing the long-running D2, the D3 introduces a completely new processing platform, an upgraded Sabre DAC and a refined analogue output stage, bringing technology from higher-end LUMIN players into one of the most accessible models in the range.

A Serious Upgrade From the D2

More processing power, higher-resolution playback and a more refined analogue stage make the D3 much more than a small update.

At its heart is an ESS Sabre ES9028PRO DAC capable of playback up to DSD256 and PCM 384kHz. LUMIN has also incorporated analogue buffer technology derived from its flagship X1, helping the D3 deliver the clean, natural and spacious presentation the brand is known for. Its new processing platform also allows upsampling and downsampling to every supported format up to DSD256 and PCM384.

Stream Your Way

Your music library and favourite streaming services are brought together in one simple system.

The D3 supports TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, Roon, Plex, AirPlay 2, internet radio and more, while the LUMIN app gives you direct control over playback and system settings. Whether you are streaming high-resolution music, playing files from network storage or connecting a USB drive, the D3 is designed to make digital listening feel straightforward rather than complicated.

Built Like a LUMIN

A new all-aluminium chassis gives the D3 a more premium feel while helping create a quieter environment for its audio circuitry.

Unlike the D2, which incorporated steel into its enclosure, the D3 uses an all-aluminium design with a thick CNC-machined front panel and a surface finish inspired by the higher-end LUMIN P1. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue outputs make it easy to integrate into a wide range of two-channel systems.

Award-Winning Performance

The D3 has earned recognition for delivering a level of performance that reaches well beyond its position in the LUMIN range.

StereoNET named the LUMIN D3 a 2024 Product of the Year and described it as “near-impossible to beat at or near its price.” Hi-Fi News also awarded the D3 its Outstanding Product distinction, praising its comprehensive upgrade over the D2 and the quality of LUMIN’s control app.

For listeners looking for an easy-to-use network player with a built-in DAC, balanced outputs and genuine high-resolution capability, the LUMIN D3 is a compelling way to bring high-end digital playback into a two-channel system.
