Goldmund has drawn the curtain on its latest preamplifier, the Mimesis Signature, which the Swiss high-end brand boasts is “a testament to our relentless pursuit of sonic perfection”.
The Mimesis Signature is digital-friendly, to say the least, built around an ESS9028Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC chip of “unparalleled capabilities” that supports PCM audio up to 32-bit/384kHz as well as DSD512 (via USB connection). The converter is well-spec’d, with a dynamic range of 129dB and THD+N of -120dB, and in addition to the USB input are two S/PDIFs and a single Toslink optical. On the analogue side are three pairs of RCA and one set of XLR, with outputs comprised of one pair of RCA and XLR apiece.
