Description
Gold Note's PSU-10 EVO features a 4-transformer power supply stage enhanced with ultra-low-noise voltage regulators. It has been engineered with the finest audio grade components to enhance the performance of DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS even further. 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.
Key features
- 4-transformer power supply stage — 3 dedicated to power rails, 1 for the inductive filter
- Dual Choke Hybrid technology — proprietary inductive filter on the analogue stage
- Two ultra-low-noise voltage regulators — maximum output voltage variation of only 0.05%
- Line noise rejection >80 dB and common mode noise rejection >80 dB
- Four power rails — +12V, +5V for digital; +/−15V for analogue with inductive noise removal
- Universal auto-sensing voltage — 100–120V / 220–240V, 50/60 Hz (no switch needed)
- Hirschmann 8-pole DIN umbilical connector (Austrian/German-made) for secure, high-quality connection
- Machined aluminium chassis — available in Black, Silver, or Gold anodised finish; matches full Series 10 aesthetic
- Handbuilt in Tuscany, Italy using locally sourced, audio-grade components
- Not compatible with PH-10 — dedicated exclusively to DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS
