Swiss audio specialist Goldmund has spun out a new SACD player. The Eidos SACD arrives as the baby brother to the company’s 2021-released flagship Eidos Reference model, trickling down much of its CD replay engineering prowess into a smaller, more affordable package. Goldmund says the Eidos SACD is essentially “a more compact object without compromise and with an improved ergonomics of the space”.
Like its predecessor, the Eidos SACD is capable of not only playing a variety of audio discs (SACD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, as well as audio from DVD-R formats) but also PCM 384KHz and to DSD512 when connected to a computer via its USB input. Unsurprisingly that’s it for inputs, though outputs span RCA, XLR, coaxial and optical sockets for adding a preamplifier, processor or integrated amp.
