The DS-10 is a versatile state-of-the-art streaming DAC designed for the contemporary audiophile, it’s much more than just a DAC. The experience gained with our flagships models has inspired us to design this smaller all-in-one unit featuring DAC, Streamer, Line Preamplifier – with AES-EBU digital inputs typical of the professional market – Headphone Output, and advanced connectivity for a fresh new experience of digital music with High-End quality. A COMPLETE DIGITAL AUDIO SOURCE: STREAMING D/A CONVERTER WITH HEADPHONE OUTPUT AND LINE PREAMPLIFIER The DS-10 is a 4-in-1 digital source that features a UPnP-DLNA Streamer, High-End D/A Converter, Line Preamplifier and Headphone Amplifier. Inspired by our acclaimed IS-1000 All-In-One unit, it combines its extended connectivity features with the exceptional high-resolution of the Bluetooth 5.0 – for the first time ever on a High-End audio product – and the impressive headphone double power GAIN output. Part of the Series 10, the DS-10 is the perfect connection between the PH-10 phono stage and the PA-10 power amplifier, and the core of a smart stereo system. The DS-10 is a Roon Ready device with a quick plug&play set-up and multi-room capabilities. Simply connect it to your network using the Wi-Fi or the Ethernet port and to your power amplifier or active speakers, and get ready to explore the limitless possibilities of high-resolution music. Stream through Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify and Deezer or access your collection of digital music stored locally on a NAS or a USB flash drive controlling the DS-10 with our easy to use GN Control App on your smartphone or tablet (available for free on iOS and Android). The DS-10 has a unique feature that sets it apart from any other DAC – its behaviour can be changed to adapt to the music played without modifying the audio signal and maintaining the highest audio quality, acting on the PCM Equalisation curve (Low-Pass filter), the High-Frequency De-emphasis, and the internal power profile. Such profiles can be selected in real-time during music playback delivering a unique listening experience and ease of use thanks to the clear menu on the TFT display. It’s time to enjoy the unprecedented listening pleasure that only the DS-10 can offer you. PSU Power Supply Gold Note PSU-10 Power Supply Gold Note PSU-10 High performing power supply for DS-10 The inductive power supply that improves the sound performance of the DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS. The PSU-10 EVO is the super inductive power supply exclusively developed for the DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS. Engineered with the best audio grade components, it’s designed to enhance the performance of your system to a new level. With the PSU-10 EVO your system will reach a new pinnacle, delivering more detailed and clear sound. EXTERNAL HIGH-PERFORMING POWER SUPPLY FOR DS-10 AND DS-10 PLUS The PSU-10 EVO has been engineered with the finest audio grade components to enhance the performance of DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS even further. To achieve the highest performance, PSU-10 EVO features a 4-transformer power supply stage enhanced with ultra-low-noise voltage regulators. The power supply stage takes advantage of a 4-transformer layout with 3 transformers entirely dedicated to the power supply and 1 for the inductive filter. The Dual Choke Hybrid design features an inductive filter on the analogue stage and is powered by a double inductor, driving both the negative and positive high-current stages. Our proprietary technology perfectly filters the current to eliminate interference and electrical noise from the AC power system achieving ideal insulation, an ideal working environment for the electronics to perform at their best. The ultra-clean power generated by the PSU-10 EVO allows DS-10 to deliver greater dynamics, better resolution and even finer details resulting in improved realism, musicality as well as control.
