Goldnote HP-10 Deluxe with BT and USB C

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.

Studio is our innovative feature set that takes your headphones to the next level and is fully analog implemented to deliver the best audio quality.

• 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.

A wide range of outputs allows you to use the HP-10 with your favorite headphones – unbalanced (3.5 mm, 6.3 mm) and balanced (4.4 mm, 4-pin XLR) connectors are available on the front panel.
You can also select the line outputs to send audio signals to the RCA/XLR outputs and use the HP-10 as a line preamp, retaining all studio settings.

For maximum flexibility, you can play audio in stereo or mono. In stereo playback, you can also swap the L/R channels. In mono, you can choose whether you want to hear the combined sound of the channels (L+R) or just one of the channels (L or R).
