New Lumin P1 Mini announced today...

From Peter Lie at Lumin today...

https://www.luminmusic.com/lumin-p1-mini.html

P1 MINI has these advantages over T3:

1. Digital / analog inputs
2. Femto clock
3. Linear power supply
4. Fiber network (SFP)
5. Included physical remote (primarily for input selection and volume adjustment), which is an optional purchase for other non-P1 Lumin models

"Most importantly - not obvious from the specifications, P1 MINI is meant to be priced competitively to bring our flagship level features to a medium price point, in the same way that we put our latest technology and DAC design essence in D3 at a low price point."

Lumin continues to hit home runs "out of the ballpark".

I could teach a DFSS course using Lumin as an exemplar of a company that consistently operates at a very high-level of execution with respect to very well understanding customer needs & requirements, developing innovative, very well-designed and specified products, and thereby consistently provide excellent Value* for customers.

*-where Value=Quality/Price.

 

MSRP?

 

Finally more of these companies realize they should put HDMI ARC in their streamers (I know I have been a broken record about this). Options have been so limited, and some companies implementations so poor, that I was forced to just upgrade a Bluesound Node X for my purposes.

Am I missing something though, do they say the price anywhere?

 

I haven't seen what the price of the P1 Mini will be yet, guys. As soon as I know, I'll update here.

Cheers.

 

My aplogoies, I don't know what all the color schemes folks are using for their personal settings. I'm using the default black background and the yellow showed fine against that. i've gone back and edited the color so it should be easier to view.

 

I have a bad feeling about this.

 

My guess is it will be around $5K. Knowing first-hand how well Lumin executes on their product design, for a component that is likely a very high-quality streamer, DAC, preamp *and* AVR, my thought is it will be an excellent value proposition at that price. Hell, my LampiZator Baltic 3 DAC alone cost over $5K.

 

Bingo! Lumin price list at an Australian audio dealer:

Lumin P1 Mini RRP (Recommended Retail Price) = $7,690 AUD ≈ $5,071 USD

 

Yep, that's close what I figured it would be. Australian "markups" are generally pretty high, in general, so I would estimate the cost will be right around USD $5K.
