Combining Gold Note's half-sized but full-throated DS-10 EVO Streaming DAC, PA-10 Stereo power amplifier, and PSU-10 EVO external power supply with the company's A3 EVO II stand-mount speakers makes a beautiful system, according to Chris Thomas.

Gold Note's small but perfectly formed small boxes of high-performance electronics have been impressing us since we tried its excellent PH-10 phono stage. Now, it seems the DS-1 EVO streamer/DAC/preamplifier is just as splendid, according to Chris Thomas.
