GOLD NOTE - Muzica, Design, Toscana, Florenta.
Ne cunoastem, respectam si simpatizam reciproc cu
Maurizio Aterini, fondatorul, creierul si proprietarul
GOLD NOTE de mai bine de 15 ani.
Am decis, in cele din urma, sa si lucram impreuna,
dupa ce, fara dubii, am ajuns la concluzia ca impartim
valori comune, care depasesc cu mult sfera audio,
a produselor si implicit a vanzarii lor.
Discutiile de ore in sir sunt ceva obisnuit intre parti,
de atunci.
Ce inseamna GOLD NOTE, in afara de prestigiul si
privilegiul de a fi un brand global si recunoscut ca atare?
Inseamna placerea de a conduce un Lincoln Continental
din anii 60, un Cadillac Eldorado sau 6200 din anii 60 ori
dupa preferinte, un Mercedes-Benz 300SL din aceeasi ani 60.
Toate cu tehnologia ultra avansata a zilelor noastre in interior.
Asta este in esenta GOLD NOTE, un produs cu un design
atemporal, clasic si in acelasi timp industrial / futurist, plin de
tehnologie de ultima ora.
Practic, Phono Stage-urile si Streamer-ele GOLD NOTE inglobeaza
tehnologie de ultima ora tinand pasul cu tot ceea ce inseamna
modernism si avantgarda in domeniu.
Totul si toate (produsele) sub o deviza clara:
Un design reusit care se imbina perfect cu o muzicalitate seducatoare.
O gama de produse exceptionala, care acopera tot necesarul iubitorilor
de muzica si a celor care isi doresc o integrare naturala in Living:
Amplificatoare, CD-Player, DAC, Streamer, Power Supply, Boxe,
Stand-uri, Cabluri (Power si Interconnect), Pick-up si Doze.
Toate fabricate manual in Florenta.
Incepand cu 1 Noiembrie 2024 in Romania.
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 aluminium 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.
ROON READY
Being Roon Ready means that Gold Note uses Roon streaming technology, for an incredible user
interface, simple setup, rock-solid daily reliability, and the highest levels of audio performance,
without compromise.
TIDAL CONNECT
With Tidal Connect you can stream music to your DS-1000 EVO directly from the Tidal app
(available on iOS and Android).
