Geneva-based high-end Hi-Fi maker Goldmund has unveiled the Mimesis Excellence, an audiophile grade digital/analogue stereo preamplifier for well-heeled music lovers with a penchant for minimalist design.
Available in Goldmund’s signature grey and matte black finishes, the side panels feature the distinctive wave design found on the rest of the new Goldmund audio collection.
Key to the Mimesis Excellence’s performance is said to be the new Themis audio board, a proprietary development wherein both left and right channels have their own dedicated audio card. This distinction minimises noise, and maximises audio clarity.

Each channel is also equipped with a state-of-the-art digital-to-analogue converter. This DAC is capable of decoding up to DSD 512, with the lowest possible digital signal jitter.
