INTRODUCTION AND FEATURES
AUDIO STREAMING JUST BECAME BETTER
It's time to enjoy your music, and with DS-1000 it's as
simple as plugging a flash memory like a USB key and
letting it play any audio file, or connecting to the web
and tuning on digital radio stations.
To play music files at its best and always with top quality
high resolution in 24bit 192kHz, the streamer is
equipped with a D/A converter featuring one S/PDif
coaxial and one TOS optical digital inputs powered by
AKM receiver, and a USB port powered by the top class
XMOS U6 500MHz DSD for high speed peripherals.
MORE TIME FOR MUSIC, LESS TIME TO MAKE IT WORK
A large 3,5” TFT monitor displays all the information in
a clear menu that's easy to browse, showing all USB
inputs, digital inputs and radio stations.
Thanks to the exclusive SKC - Single Knob Control - the
unit becomes a friendly plug-and-play source you can
always control even without a remote.
TOTAL CONTROL OVER YOUR SYSTEM
DS-1000 offers a unique modular design exclusively
modeled for Gold Note's 1000 series to expand and
grow your system into a complete all-in-one high-end
audio source with an optional internal preamp stage and
also an analogue balanced stereo input.
Modularity is also extended to external accessories,
perfect to push the performance even further, up to
outstanding levels with:
- two unique optional external Class-A tube output
stages TUBE-1006 | TUBE-1012. Power Supplies PSU-
1000.
The output stage comes from our experience with
Favard CD Player and matches the best digital sources
available on the market today with a fully balanced, solid
state Dual-Mono PCM1792A.
For a no-compromises experience, DS-1000 optionally
gets two exclusive balanced Class A tube output stage
units: TUBE-1012 - featuring 12 double triode tubes, is
a special unit employing 6 transformers, inductive and
tube power supply, ultra-low distortion, noise-less and
low impedance output.
TUBE-1006 - a simplified 6 tubes unit, able to
significantly improve performances. The unit's voltage
will always be extremely stable on every audio signal
paths due to two proprietary Dual-Mono transformers
PSU, achieving high-quality audio performances and
annulling digital interferences.
To step up the configuration we designed two external
super power supplies:
- PSU-1000 - 1000 Watt inductive unit able to maximize
DS-1000's power and providing a full galvanic insulation
from the AC system and a perfect unit shielding from RFI
and EMI troubles.
UPGRADE WHEN YOU WANT TO
DS-1000 comes with a standard digital volume control
and can be connected directly into a power amplifier
with no need of any preamplifier. Enthusiasts will be
able to appreciate the optional high quality preamp
stage, a PGA single resistor for dual-mono volume
control. A stereo balanced analogue input is also
available as an optional to allow DS-1000 to be an
integrated control unit and drive a power amplifier
directly.
