The DS-1000 EVO is the most advanced streaming DAC we’ve ever developed. It combines cutting-edge digital-to-analog technology solutions with our unique expertise in delivering compelling sound quality, or as we call it: the Italian Sound. At the heart of the DS-1000 EVO is the dual-mono D/A converter, powered by two AKM AK4493 converters, ensuring the highest audio fidelity is always maintained during the conversion phase, with virtually no crosstalk between channels. Streaming, thanks to Tidal Connect, is as easy as pressing the play button on Tidal or connecting your computer with a USB cable—no audio file is a problem: PCM (up to 32-bit/384kHz) and DSD (up to DSD512) are supported.

A DIGITAL AUDIO SOURCE BECOMES EVEN MORE INNOVATIVE

The DS-10 is a versatile, next-generation, streaming-capable converter featuring a brand-new D/A converter, a state-of-the-art streamer, a stereo preamplifier, and a headphone amplifier. It combines comprehensive networking capabilities with high-resolution Bluetooth and an impressive audiophile-quality headphone output. The DS-10 supports high-resolution files such as MQA and DSD (up to DSD512 via USB) when streaming over the network, further enhancing the resolution at which you can hear your favorite songs. The DS-10’s cutting-edge technology is brilliantly housed in a compact aluminum chassis, making it the perfect complement to a modern high-end system.

HIGH-END D/A CONVERTERS AND STREAMERS

With the DS-10, you can stream via Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, vTuner, and Deezer, or access your digital music collection stored locally on a NAS or USB storage device, controlled via our easy-to-use GN Control app on your smartphone or tablet (available for free on iOS and Android). With the DS-10 EVO, you can also stream directly from Tidal thanks to Tidal Connect integration. As a fully Roon Ready streamer, the DS-10 is also compatible with all UPnP/DLNA services and Airplay 2.0. Simply connect it to your network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and then to your power amplifier or powered speakers, and you’re ready to explore the endless possibilities of high-resolution music.

STEREO PREAMPLIFIERS AND HEADPHONE AMPLIFIERS

The DS-10 is equipped with a high-end preamplifier (switchable on/off) for analog volume control via the remote control, rotary knob, or the GN Control app, thus ensuring the best audio performance. Furthermore, the DS-10 features a professional 6.3mm headphone jack with dual impedance adjustments (high/low) – a proprietary technology developed to get the most out of your headphones. With the additional analog input, the LINE model is the perfect link between the Gold Note PH-10 phono preamplifier and the PA-10 power amplifier.

DIGITAL CHAMELEON CONVERTER

The DS-10 has a unique feature that sets it apart from all other D/A converters and makes it the most adaptable DAC on the market: three different profiles can be selected to fine-tune the converter’s performance. The converter’s behavior can be modified to match the music playback without altering the audio signal, thus maintaining the best audio quality by adjusting the low-pass filter, high-frequency de-emphasis, the current applied to the circuits, and the DSD filter. Adjustments to the electrical profiles can be made in real time, offering a unique listening experience combined with maximum ease of use thanks to the clear menu on the TFT display. It’s time to enjoy the unprecedented listening pleasure that only the DS-10 can offer!

AN EXTREMELY INTUITIVE USER INTERFACE

The large 2.8-inch color display allows you to quickly view and adjust all of the DS-10’s functions using the SKC (Single Knob Control) knob on the front panel, the Gold Note remote control, or the dedicated app. The GN Control app also displays all the information stored on the song, including the original resolution format, on your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to the simple operation and clear on-screen menu, all settings can be selected in real time during music playback. Furthermore, the DS-10 EVO’s usability has been further improved compared to the DS-10 with a redesigned user interface that is now even more user-friendly and allows for wireless firmware updates.

The HP-10 is our brand-new high-end headphone amplifier for discerning audiophiles. It features a balanced dual-mono Class-A design that preserves signal purity and delivers exceptional audio quality. Thanks to its four headphone outputs, extensive features, and powerful output power, it supports any type of headphone.

The audio path is fully analog and constructed with high-quality discrete components. All settings are made in real time in the analog domain. Combining premium audio quality, versatile connectivity, and unique features, the HP-10 is an outstanding amplifier at an unbeatable price.

The HP-10 features a touchscreen display with an intuitive user interface that allows for quick settings and exceptionally easy operation. Ideal for all high-end systems, the HP-10 offers incredible options such as four crossfeed modes for a natural 3D soundstage, Harman Curve equalization, variable gain and damping factor, and a 0/180° phase switch.

The device is available in three different models – with the additional digital inputs such as Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX (HP-10 BT) and a premium DAC with USB-C input (HP-10 Deluxe) to form a completely standalone device.

REMOTE CONTROL, TOUCHSCREEN AND ROTARY KNOB
The HP-10 can be controlled via the included remote control, touchscreen display, and rotary knob for the best possible experience. The remote control allows you to adjust all settings while sitting comfortably in your favorite spot, listening to your headphones.

The HP-10 features a Trigger IN/OUT connector that allows you to turn on the rest of your system in sync with the headphone amplifier.

BYPASS
In a system consisting of multiple elements including a preamplifier, the HP-10’s bypass function allows the system wiring to be left unchanged and either the HP-10 or the preamplifier to be used for loudspeaker monitoring.

The bypass function is automatically activated by selecting one of the 4 headphone outputs (not the REAR output) on the HP-10 and then putting the unit into standby mode (red LED) by holding the SKC or Display button for 3 seconds or by pressing the Power button on the remote control.

Please note: For the bypass to work correctly, the source and preamplifier connected to the HP-10 must use the same cabling type (RCA/XLR).

EXPLORING THE FEATURES
Boasting an incredible array of features that allow you to fully customize your listening experience, the HP-10 ushers in a new era for headphone enthusiasts.

In addition to Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX, the HP-10 DELUXE offers a digital USB-C input. The digital inputs on the BT and DELUXE models allow you to stream your music directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

• Crossfeed mixes the L/R channels to create a soundstage as if listening to speakers.
• Harman Curve optimizes the EQ for listening with headphones.
• Superflat linearizes the frequency response in the high frequency range.
• DF perfectly adapts the damping factor to your headphones.

Balance allows you to adjust the volume of the L/R channels to ensure a customized listening experience tailored to your needs. This is an important feature, as headphone drivers are difficult to perfectly match.

All models feature balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs. The HP-10 BT also features Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The HP-10 DELUXE offers a USB-C digital input in addition to Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The digital inputs on the BT and DELUXE models allow you to stream your music directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.
