Description
The new frontiers of digital music
The DS-10 EVO is a versatile and innovative streaming DAC, equipped with a state-of-the-art D/A converter, a line preamplifier and a headphone amplifier. In addition to its numerous connectivity options, it also features high-definition Bluetooth and a professional headphone output. The DS-10 EVO supports high-resolution files, such as MQA and DSD (up to DSD512), to provide an unparalleled digital music listening experience. The DS-10 EVO’s technology is housed in a compact aluminum chassis, making this unit the perfect addition to any modern High-End audio system.
With the DS-10 EVO, you can stream music via Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, vTuner and Deezer, access a collection of digital music stored locally on a NAS or USB flash drive, or from a smartphone or tablet, via the GN Control app (available for free on iOS and Android) and directly from the Tidal application thanks to the implementation of Tidal Connect. Furthermore, the DS-10 EVO is Roon Ready and compatible with all UPnP/DLNA and Airplay 2.0 services. It can be connected to the network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet port and, at the same time, to a power amplifier or active speakers to explore the limitless possibilities of high-resolution music.
The DS-10 EVO features a unique function that sets it apart from any other DAC, making it extremely flexible: it is possible to modify the DAC profile to adapt it to the music being played, without degrading the audio signal and maintaining the highest quality, by acting on the de-emphasis parameters, on the low-pass digital filters and the DSD filter. These parameters can be adjusted in real-time during playback, quickly and intuitively thanks to the dedicated menu and the TFT display.
On the 2.8″ TFT display, it is possible to quickly view all the available functions and manage them via the SKC (Single Knob Control) knob located on the front panel, the Gold Note remote control or the dedicated GN Control App.
GN Control shows on a smartphone or tablet all the information regarding the track being played, such as the format and resolution, while the user experience is super intuitive thanks to a cutting-edge interface and the possibility of performing firmware updates directly from the internet.
Roon Ready devices have integrated Roon streaming technology and are certified by Roon Labs to provide the highest level of quality and performance in high-resolution streaming.
