£4,500 looks like a strong deal for a DS-1000 EVO, assuming it is the standard model rather than the more expensive Line version. The original UK price was around £5,559, so this is a substantial used-market reduction and comfortably below what a clean, properly equipped example would normally command.
This is a serious all-in-one digital front end: Roon Ready streaming, Qobuz, Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect and AirPlay are backed by a dual-mono AKM DAC, balanced outputs, headphone amplification and support up to PCM 32-bit/384kHz and DSD512. It is especially attractive if you want to simplify a system without giving up analogue-stage quality. Confirm the remote, original power supply, accessories and firmware operation, and check whether it includes the optional PSU, but at £4,500 a complete, clean example is a buying opportunity rather than merely a fair deal.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Gold Note traces its roots to Florence, Tuscany, where Maurizio Aterini founded the company in 2012 after decades in high-end audio design. Building on his earlier ventures—starting with the 1992 Bluenote studio that crafted innovative tonearms like the enduring B-5—Aterini channeled over 25 years of expertise into a brand rooted in Italian craftsmanship. From its rural Montespertoli base, Gold Note manufactures every component in-house, blending Renaissance-inspired innovation with Tuscan tradition to pursue uncompromised sound.
The brand excels in a vertically integrated lineup spanning analogue and digital domains, including acclaimed turntables, amplifiers, DACs, preamplifiers, phono stages, and loudspeakers. Signature products like the B-5 tonearm persist across models, while electronics emphasize clean circuitry, robust power supplies, and functional Italian design. This complete system approach allows audiophiles to assemble full Gold Note chains, delivering their hallmark "Italian Sound"—full-bodied, dynamic, and spatially precise.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Gold Note commands respect among experts and enthusiasts for reliability, sonic excellence, and relentless R&D. Sold in over 40 countries, it stands as Italy's leading high-end manufacturer, offering boutique quality without exorbitant pricing through optimized production. For discerning buyers seeking emotional musicality, Gold Note delivers addictive, tradition-honoring performance.
