Gold Note DS-1000 EVO

The Pinnacle of Digital Audio

Introducing the DS-1000 EVO, the most advanced streaming DAC we’ve ever designed. It seamlessly integrates cutting-edge digital-to-analog technology with our signature Italian Sound, delivering exceptional audio quality.

At the heart of the DS-1000 EVO is a Dual-Mono D/A converter design, powered by two AKM AK4493 converters, ensuring the highest fidelity and virtually zero crosstalk during conversion. Streaming is effortless with Tidal Connect, or simply by connecting your computer via USB. The DS-1000 EVO supports a wide range of audio formats, including MQA, PCM (up to 32bit/384kHz), and DSD (up to DSD512).

The Class A output stage, composed of audio-grade discrete components, is meticulously selected to produce our distinctive Italian Sound.
