DEEPER SILENCE

The Mimesis 20H NextGen includes the latest Alize 7 D/A circuitry that was originally developed for the iconic Telos 5000 and it is the most prestigious and technologically advanced Goldmund stereo DA converter. The Alize 7 circuit is a stepped D/A with an extended dynamic range of >130 dB, and a perfect time alignment correction. The sonic effect is a much deeper silence, with greatly improved micro-dynamics and spectacular transparency, due to multiple D/A in parallel for each channel.

PRISTINE SOUND

This result is also due to the integrated power supply feeding the Alize circuits. It is inspired from the newly designed power supply used in the Mimesis line and guarantees a perfectly pure power is delivered to the unit. Dedicated to ultra-high-end sound systems, the Mimesis 20H NextGen is the reference 2-channel D/A converter that all serious audiophile customers in search of the most pristine sound want in their listening room. Goldmund recommends using the Mimesis 20H Nextgen along with the latest analogue preamplifier: The Mimesis 22H NextGen. The Mimesis 20H NextGen D/A converter offers 6 inputs including USB with DSD file reading capabilities and balanced XLR circuit.
