Gold Note IS-10 Integrated Amplifier

The Gold Note IS-10 Integrated Amplifier is a complete High-End stereo system featuring a powerful 90W @ 8Ω (stereo) integrated amplifier, and D/A converter with high-resolution streaming. The onboard DAC supports up to PCM 32bit/768kHz and DSD256 and includes an audiophile headphone amplifier to drive any type of headphones. The streaming section of the IS-10 supports high-resolution files, such as MQA and DSD (up to DSD256), providing the best audio quality to enjoy your favourite songs. The IS-10 is Roon Ready and compatible with Tidal, Tidal Connect, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify and Deezer (via LAN, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth).

The Gold Note IS-10 can be configured as a mono amp when paired with a single Gold Note PA-10 EVO power amplifier. The IS-10 would connect to the left speaker only, with the additional PA-10 EVO connecting to the right speaker only. On the rear of the IS-10 is a single pre-out socket to enable connection between the two amplifiers. Setup is complete by using the “Mono R” output and the button “M” on the rear panel and selecting “MONO” on the display menu.

The Gold Note IS-10 is a device with plug&play capability and is fully compatible with multi-room systems. You can stream your favourite music through Roon, Airplay, Tidal, MQA, Qobuz, Spotify, vTuner, and Deezer or access your collection of digital music stored locally on a NAS or a USB flash drive, controlling the device with our easy-to-use GN Control App on your smartphone or tablet (available for free on iOS and Android).

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. With Tidal Connect you can stream music to your IS-10 directly from the Tidal app (both with iOS and Android).
