Eidos Streamer: Network player from Goldmund and Pink Faun

Goldmund has launched a new network player, marking its entry into the streaming market. Recognizing its limited experience in streaming and network technology, the Swiss manufacturer has teamed up with the Dutch firm Pink Faun. This partnership has resulted in the development of the Goldmund x Pink Faun Eidos streamer.

The designers emphasize that the Goldmund x Pink Faun Eidos Streamer is tailored for audiophiles who seek superior sound quality along with seamless control. This collaboration represents Goldmund’s inaugural foray into streaming, underscoring the company’s commitment to innovation and outstanding performance.

The Eidos Streamer is designed to seamlessly complement Goldmund ’s active speakers and meets the growing demand for online music playback. With a wired or wireless network connection, the Eidos provides a hassle-free listening experience. Incidentally, the owner of a large local music library has also been considered. The Eidos Streamer has 8TB of local storage available. Via the intuitive Roon app, users can also access popular music streaming platforms such as Tidal, Qobuz and KKBOX, providing unlimited access to music.

To further enhance the listening experience, the setup can be expanded with a handmade S/PDIF RCA digital audio cable from Fono Acustica in Spain. This ensures flawless signal transmission and sound quality.

Goldmund Eidos Streamer: Pink Faun’s Technique

At the heart of the Eidos Streamer is the Pink Faun OS, designed exclusively for optimum Roon Core compatibility. This operating system ensures complete control over hardware and software integration, offers regular updates and driver optimizations for evolving performance, and provides solutions to traditional Roon limitations, delivering a flawless experience for demanding users.

Exclusive Goldmund customizations ensure optimal operating system performance, such as CPU timings, noise adjustment, and integration with Goldmund active speakers.

The Eidos Streamer introduces advanced hardware innovations for superior sound quality. A passive cooling system featuring water-filled heatpipes ensures silent and stable operation. The hardware is housed in a CNC-milled aluminum chassis, available in elegant gray or black, and is equipped with Goldmund’s signature feet for a better mechanical foundation. The device fits seamlessly into sophisticated interiors and harmonizes with the Goldmund product collection.

The dimensions of the Eidos Streamer are 45 x 11.9 x 35.5 centimeters (W x H x D) and it weighs 15 kilograms. All modern file formats and codecs are supported.
