Gold Note DS-1000 EVO - DAC - Audio Streamer

The DS-1000 EVO is the most advanced DAC Streamer we have ever created, the perfect union of advanced technological solutions applied to D/A conversion with our unique know-how to offer the unique audio quality that we have defined as “the Italian Sound”.
The heart of the DS-1000 EVO is the Dual-Mono DAC based on two AKM AK4493 chips and developed to always guarantee maximum fidelity during the conversion phase, completely eliminating crosstalk. Streaming is as easy as pressing play on Tidal, or one of the compatible services, or simply by connecting your computer with a USB cable: no audio file will be a problem thanks to support for MQA, PCM (up to 32bit/384kHz) and DSD (up to DSD512).

The perfect complement to the digital section, the Class A output stage features discrete audio-quality components selected to deliver our signature Italian sound.

ULTRA HIGH RESOLUTION STREAMING

With the DS-1000 EVO, you can use Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, vTuner, and Deezer. Streaming is even easier with Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect, directly from their apps.

Any UPnP/DLNA software can be used to access digital music libraries stored on a NAS or computer. Or simply download our GN Control app (free for iOS and Android) to control all the functions of the DS-1000 EVO, as well as manage music playback and streaming services.

HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER AND LINE PREAMPLIFIER

The DS-1000 EVO models feature a high-quality 6.3mm headphone output with two sensitivity levels (High/Low), a proprietary technology we developed to get the best out of audiophile headphones. The DS-1000 EVO LINE also features a built-in Class A preamplifier for analog volume control, which can be bypassed when the unit is set to DAC mode.
