Offered is „DS 1000 Reference“ by Goldnote as second-hand device from the category „Digital Streamer“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3998702585 ends on 31.10.2026 at 08:16 o'clock.
A €3,800 ask is fair to strong for a clean DS-1000 in this market. Comparable used examples land around €2,990 for a MkII used unit, €3,800 for a demo Mk2 listing, and roughly €4,499 for an ex-demo DS-1000 EVO, with new-pricing references in the €4,800–€6,500 zone depending on version and options.
That makes this a sensible buy if it’s the current EVO/Digital variant and the seller can show full working order, original packaging, and remote/accessories. The line is well regarded for combining serious DAC performance with a refined streamer platform, and the published specs and reviews point to genuinely high-end capability rather than “just” a streamer box. At this price, I’d be more focused on firmware/upgradability, condition of the display, and whether the exact digital configuration matches what you want than on bargaining hard.
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.
