The connection between the analog and digital sources and the acoustic processor as well as between the Mimesis 16.8 and the power amplifiers are critical. Ultra low reflection interconnect cables are absolutely mandatory in analog and precise impedance SPDIF cables in digital to keep the time integrity that the acoustic processor is designed to provide.
