“The new Goldmund Eidos Reference SACD Player inherits the essence of Goldmund technologies in achieving extreme audio quality. Introduced in 2021, Goldmund flagship player – Eidos Reference SACD – can read all audio formats available in the market (SACD/ CD/ CD-R/ CD-RW/ DVD-R*/ -RW*/ +R*/ +RW* (*Audio data file only)). To build this unit our engineers carried out ad-hoc technological developments, selected the finest providers, and implemented Goldmund acoustic and electronic achievements ascribable to over 40 years’ experience in the audio field.”

ABSORPTIVE

You can pair it with a computer via the USB input or with a wider range of audio equipment via digital and analog outputs available at the rear. These connectors can be used to plug a D/A converter, a preamplifier, or a digital acoustic processor.
