The Gold Note DS-1000 Evo Line and PA-1175 MkII have caught the attention of Chris Baillie at The Ear, and the resulting review is well worth your time.
It’s a pairing we know well. The DS-1000 Evo Line combines a fully featured streamer, a twin-DAC digital stage and a genuinely analogue preamplifier in a single elegant chassis. A complete digital front end for those who value both performance and simplicity. Partner it with the PA-1175 MkII, with its 200 watts per channel and selectable damping factor, and you have a compact two-box system capable of driving virtually any loudspeaker with authority.
Baillie’s findings chime with what we hear every time we set this system up: an energetic, honest presentation that serves the music rather than flattering it, backed by build quality and usability that make it a pleasure to live with day to day. His time with the headphone output is worth reading too, it’s a side of the DS-1000 Evo that deserves more attention than it usually gets.
Rather than spoil the detail, we’ll let you read his conclusions for yourself.
