The Gold Note DS-10 PLUS is a 4-in-1 digital source that features a UPnP-DLNA streamer, a high-end D/A converter, a line preamplifier, and a headphone amplifier. Inspired by our acclaimed IS-1000 All-In-One unit, it combines its extended connectivity features with the exceptional high resolution of Bluetooth 5.0 – for the first time ever on a high-end audio product – and the impressive double power of the GAIN headphone output. The DS-10 PLUS also includes an analog input* that allows it to become a true preamplifier for both analog and digital sources. The analog line input and preamplification stage operate entirely in analog to preserve the purest audio quality (available on DS-10 Solo PLUS).

Part of the Series 10, the DS-10 is the perfect link between the PH-10 phono stage and the PA-10 power amplifier, serving as the heart of an intelligent stereo system.

The DS-10 is a Roon Ready device with quick plug & play setup and multi-room functionality. Simply connect it to your network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet port, and to your power amplifier or active speakers, and get ready to explore the limitless possibilities of high-resolution music. Stream via Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, and Deezer, or access your locally stored digital music collection on a NAS or USB flash drive controlled by the DS-10 PLUS with our easy-to-use GN Control app on your smartphone or tablet (available free on iOS and Android).

The DS-10 has a unique feature that sets it apart from any other DAC: its behavior can be modified to adapt to the music being played without altering the audio signal and while maintaining maximum audio quality. This is achieved by adjusting the PCM equalization curve (Low-Pass filter), high-frequency emphasis reduction, and internal power profile. These profiles can be selected in real-time during music playback, offering a unique listening experience and ease of use thanks to the clear menu on the TFT display. Now is the time to enjoy an unprecedented listening pleasure that only the DS-10 can offer.
