The New Gold Note HP-10

The HP-10 has arrived, and it’s set to revolutionize the world of headphone amplification. Designed with exceptional craftsmanship and precision, this innovative amp completes the 10 Series of electronics. Whether you’re a seasoned audiophile or a dedicated headphone enthusiast, the HP-10 is built to deliver unmatched performance, driving any headphones with power, precision, and musicality.

A Model for Every Audiophile

The HP-10 is available in three distinct models, each tailored to suit modern listening needs:

HP-10

  • A pure analogue headphone amplifier.
  • Simple and effective: connect your sources and headphones, and enjoy.

HP-10 BT

  • Features analogue and digital inputs with Bluetooth aptX HD 5.1 and an integrated ESS Sabre DAC.
  • Stream directly from your smartphone, tablet, or computer, or connect traditional sources.

HP-10 DELUXE

  • Includes analogue inputs, Bluetooth aptX HD 5.1, USB-C, and a premium AKM AK4493 DAC.
  • Offers maximum flexibility for wired and wireless connections, delivering outstanding audio quality.

Advanced Features for a Bespoke Experience

With four headphone outputs and cutting-edge tuning options, the HP-10 adapts perfectly to any headphones, offering a truly bespoke audio experience. All features are adjustable in real time through the touchscreen display or remote control, ensuring ease of use.

Customisation options include:

  • Crossfeed: Enhance spatial imaging for a natural listening experience.
  • Harman Curve EQ: Tailor highs, mids, and lows to your preference.
  • Damping Factor: Optimise performance for your headphones.
  • Gain and Phase Adjustments: Fine-tune dynamics and channel alignment.
  • Superflat Mode: Achieve ultra-precise sound reproduction.

All adjustments are made in the analogue domain, preserving the integrity of your audio signal for the highest fidelity.

Unrivalled Versatility

The HP-10 integrates seamlessly into a high-performance audio setup. Pair it with the PSU-10 EVO external power supply for an expanded dynamic range and breathtaking detail. Add the PA-10 EVO power amplifier and A3 EVO II loudspeakers for a compact yet powerful system, offering premium performance for both headphones and speakers.

Key Features

  • Touchscreen Display: Intuitive control.
  • Versatile Outputs: Balanced (XLR, 4.4mm) and unbalanced (6.3mm, 3.5mm).
  • Comprehensive Inputs/Outputs: Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA for maximum compatibility.
  • Optional Digital Connectivity: USB-C and Bluetooth HD aptX 5.1 for wireless streaming.
  • Elegant Design: Available in brushed aluminium finishes—gold, silver, or black.
  • External Power Supply Compatibility: Boost performance with PSU-10 EVO.

Why the HP-10 Stands Out

The HP-10 is a fully balanced, Class-A, dual-mono design crafted with audiophile-grade discrete components to deliver unrivalled sound quality. From its advanced crossfeed function to its wide range of connection options, the HP-10 sets a new standard for headphone amplification.

If you’re seeking a high-end amplifier that embodies precision, innovation, and unparalleled audio quality, the HP-10 is the ultimate choice.
