Our Review

Introduction

High-fidelity audio systems are only as strong as their weakest link, and power supplies are a critical component often overlooked by enthusiasts. The role of a dedicated power supply unit (PSU) is to ensure that audio equipment receives clean, stable electricity, which is fundamental for achieving the best possible sound quality. The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO is an external power supply designed to enhance the performance of specific Gold Note components, namely the DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS streaming DACs, and the PH-10 phono stage.

Design and Build Quality

Upon inspection, the Gold Note PSU-10 EVO exudes a sense of premium craftsmanship. Its sturdy construction and the choice of finishes speak to the brand's commitment to quality. Weighing in at 4 kilograms, it has a heft that reassures users of its solidity and durability. The design is sleek, and its dimensions are considerate of typical audio equipment racks, making it a seamless addition to a high-end audio setup.

Technical Specifications and Features

The PSU-10 EVO is not just about aesthetics; it is a powerhouse with universal 100 – 120 V to 220 – 240V automatic voltage detection and a power consumption that ranges from 70 Watts under normal conditions to 100W during intense musical passages. The unit houses four audio-grade transformers that are key to its ultra-low noise performance. The dual choke hybrid inductive filter, alongside two ultra-low-noise voltage regulators, further refines the power output, ensuring that connected components receive the cleanest power possible. This specificity in design is tailored to match and enhance the Gold Note DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS DACs, as well as the PH-10 phono stage, guaranteeing an optimized power synergy.

Performance and Sound Quality

The PSU-10 EVO's impact on sound quality is profound. Users will notice an immediate uplift in inner-detail, realism, and dynamics. The soundstage opens up, delivering a layered and three-dimensional listening experience. The Chameleon DAC settings on compatible devices allow for fine-tuning of the sound signature, catering to the discerning ears of audiophiles. The preamplifier section benefits from the PSU-10 EVO's stable power delivery, resulting in a top-notch performance, while the powerful headphone amplifier section drives even demanding headphones with ease.

Connectivity and Compatibility

Gold Note has equipped the PSU-10 EVO with a wide selection of inputs and outputs, ensuring it can fully integrate with the designated audio components. However, it's important to note the exclusivity of the PSU-10 EVO - it is compatible only with the Gold Note DS-10 and DS-10 PLUS streaming DACs and the PH-10 phono stage, which may limit its appeal to a broader audience.

User Experience

Setting up the PSU-10 EVO is straightforward, allowing users to quickly reap the benefits of improved audio quality. The unit's noise rejection capabilities are excellent, and it responds adeptly to dynamic shifts in music. The immediate effect on sound quality is noticeable, with enhanced dynamics, higher resolution, and refined details that contribute to an improved musical experience.

Pros and Cons Analysis

The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO shines with its outstanding design, sound customization options, and the ability to shield sensitive audio components from electromagnetic interference. It isolates from the AC power system, delivering high-quality power that enhances the overall musicality of the system. However, for those seeking the best dynamics and noise rejection, the PSU-10 EVO feels almost mandatory, adding to the investment cost. Additionally, there is a slight hiss when used with sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs), which may be a concern for some users.

Value and Market Comparison

At €1100, the PSU-10 EVO is an investment, and its performance should be weighed against other external power supplies in the market. For owners of compatible Gold Note components, the PSU-10 EVO offers a significant upgrade that can justify the cost. However, for those without these specific devices, the PSU's exclusivity might make it a less attractive option.

Final Thoughts

The Gold Note PSU-10 EVO stands out as a dedicated power supply that can elevate the performance of compatible Gold Note components to new heights. Its meticulous design, sophisticated filtering, and voltage regulation technologies contribute to an audibly superior experience. While its exclusivity and price point may not appeal to all, for those invested in the Gold Note ecosystem, the PSU-10 EVO is a compelling enhancement that promises to bring out the full potential of their audio setup.
