Gold Note EVO Streaming DAC & Preamplifier Gold DS1000

The Gold Note DS-1000 EVO Streaming DAC is a sophisticated piece of audio equipment designed for audiophiles and music enthusiasts who demand high-fidelity sound from their digital music sources. Released in November 2017, the DS-1000 EVO has carved out a place for itself in the competitive market of high-end audio components, promising an exceptional blend of technology, performance, and value. The DS-1000 EVO is the most advanced streaming DAC we have ever designed, combining advanced technology solutions applied to the digital-to-analogue domain with our unique know-how in delivering compelling sound quality, or, as we call it, the Italian Sound. The core of the DS-1000 EVO is the Dual-Mono D/A converter design, powered by two AKM AK4493 converters to ensure the highest fidelity is always preserved during the conversion stage, with virtually zero crosstalk. Streaming is as easy as pressing play on Tidal thanks to Tidal Connect, or simply connecting your computer with a USB cable – no audio file will be a problem, supporting MQA, PCM (up to 32bit/384kHz) and DSD (up to DSD512). Completing the design, the output stage in Class A features audio-grade discrete components selected to deliver our unique Italian sound.

STREAMING IN ULTRA-HIGH RESOLUTION

With the DS-1000 EVO, you can stream through Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, vTuner, and Deezer. With Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect, streaming is even easier directly from within their apps. To access your collection of digital music, stored locally on a NAS or computer, you can use any UPnP/DLNA software from your smartphone or tablet. Or simply download our app GN Control (free for iOS and Android) to control all the features and functions of the DS-1000 EVO, as well as managing your music and streaming services.

HEADPHONES AMP AND LINE PREAMPLIFIER

The DS-1000 EVO models feature a professional 6.3mm headphones output with two sensitivity levels (High/Low), a proprietary technology we developed to get the best out of your headphones. The DS-1000 EVO LINE is also equipped with a Class A preamp stage to control the volume directly in the analogue domain, which can be bypassed when the unit is set to DAC mode.
