Default Lumin L2 announced...

As there's no Lumin thread, have to post this here.

The new Lumin L2 was just announced. The L2 replaces the L1 and add some significant features and functionality, not the least of which is not one, but TWO SFP cages for making network/device connections via LC/LC optical fiber.

Here's the features and specs. The L2 is a significant upgrade over the previous L1.

L2 MUSIC LIBRARY & NETWORK SWITCH
An advanced dual-drive music server requiring zero setup configuration and containing a 4-port audiophile-grade network switch.

The perfect partner for LUMIN owners who wish to store their own music collection. The effortless operation of LUMIN L2 belies its advanced features and unrivalled flexibility.

With a 4-port audiophile-grade network switch on board, its two optical fibre SFP ports and two RJ45 copper ports L2 can streamline and enhance your network!

Engineering specifications:
Available without drives or with 4TB or 8TB capacity
Zero configuration required
Automatically serves all added music
Fibre Network provides complete isolation from network noise
4-port network switch simplifies cabling and makes fibre easy
UPnP (Openhome) compatible
USB 3.0 Micro type B for connection to computer
SMB support for transferring over the network
Gigabit Ethernet
Thick-panelled CNC Aluminium construction


Additional features:
UPnP Openhome music server
ZERO CONFIGURATION
Simply add music to LUMIN L2 via USB or over the network and it all gets served automatically. No complex installation or setup steps.

LUMIN SERVER SOFTWARE
Our bespoke server software is specifically designed for the demands of LUMIN owners - featuring rock-solid stability, rich tag support and, of course, high resolution PCM/DSD support.

BUILD QUALITY
Silent, vibration-free design offers the same thick shielded CNC chassis construction as our high-end P1 music player. Available in the same black and silver finishes, LUMIN L2 is the perfect accompaniment.

And some photos...
Three-quarter front view


Front view "1-point" photo as we say in RE photography...


Nice high-perspective three-quarter view. The case is all machined from solid billet aluminum; looks lovely and keep out RF and EMI...



Back panel view. I've highlighted in red the chassis ground terminal, which would allow for optimal connection to an Altaira ground-plane noise reduction hub, and we already know what that does for a component...


Looks really nice and I'm sure will be a very nice addition for folks, and especially so for X1, P1, and T3 owners, as the L2 can connect directly to these via fiber.

*-whomever did the product shots is also really good, not even a hint of color contamination for any channel in the photos.

I'll be getting one of these, for sure....
