Thanks to the great variety of compatible streaming services DS-10 is the ideal doorstep to the limitless world of High-Resolution music.
The DS-10’s broad range of streaming inputs (Wi-Fi and Ethernet) includes Roon, UPnP/DLNA, Spotify Connect, Airplay, and V-Tuner, plus Tidal, Spotify and Qobuz from a supporting iOS/Android app. A Bluetooth 5.0 input is also present.
Other inputs include Toslink,
For outputs, the DS-10 has single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connections. An AKM AK4493 DAC chip, logic controller and PLL clock generation do all the decoding hard work.
For physical digital inputs, the DS-10 gives us the following: a suite of 24bit/192kHz-capable S/PDIF (AES, coax, TOSLINK); an asynchronous USB-B input for connection to a Mac, PC or streamer that extends PCM capabilities to 32bit/384kHz and adds DSD128; a USB-A input for streaming from a directly-connected hard-drive or USB Stick.
