Goldmund Eidos Reference SACD: a reference SACD player with an anti-vibration system and a total weight of 100kg

The Swiss company Goldmund has introduced the reference stationary SACD player Eidos.

The novelty was described as the result of many years of development by Goldmund engineers, combined with a careful selection of the best suppliers of components. In particular, the model is assembled on the basis of a SACD drive manufactured by D&M, integrated into the Goldmund mechanical grounding system, designed to completely eliminate vibrations.

As a result, the Eidos Reference SACD weighs exactly a hundredweight and, therefore, is a truly stationary device. The new product works with almost all 12-cm laser audio discs: SACD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and with DVD-R,- RW, +R, +RW, it reads only audio data. At the same time, the system can process up to 384 kHz PCM and DSD signals up to 2 MHz via USB.

For the Eidos Reference SACD, the signal-to-noise ratio is stated to be better than 128 dB with a KNI level of less than 0.00016% on the stereo output. The device is made entirely by hand in the Goldmund studio in Geneva and is already available in two finishes: silver and matte black.

The Eidos Reference SACD was pre-ordered in the UK at £175,000.
