Gold Note DS-10 EVO DAC/Preamp

The new DS-10 EVO is the streaming DAC for the contemporary audiophile, a D/A converter with a cutting-edge streamer, a line preamplifier and a headphone amplifier. In addition to the already complete connectivity, it also features Bluetooth 4.2 and the high-quality 6.3mm headphone output.

The DS-10 EVO supports high-resolution files, such as MQA, native DSD256, and up to DSD512 when streaming through USB-B.

With the dedicated app GN Control, you can stream easily music from Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, vTuner and Spotify - or directly from Tidal thanks with Tidal Connect. A fully Roon Ready streamer, the DS-10 EVO is also compatibile with all UPnP/DLNA services, and Airplay 2.0.

And it’s the only streaming DAC that allows you to manually adjust the behaviour of the DAC with our innovative Chameleon technology to fine tune your system to your favourite genres. It also offers an impressive headphone amplifier that will perfectly match any headphone (600Ω and higher).

On top of that, the user experience has been improved with a renewed interface and it now allows for firmware updates over the air.

With the additional analogue input (available for the LINE model only, $300 extra) the DS-10 EVO becomes the perfect partner of the PH-10 phono stage and the centrepiece of a modern audiophile system.
