The Story

The HP-10 is Goldnotes brand new high-end headphone amplifier designed for discerning audiophiles, featuring a Dual-Mono Class-A balanced design that preserves signal purity and delivers exceptional audio quality. It supports any type of headphones thanks to its 4 headphone outputs, the extensive features and powerful output.

The audio path is designed entirely in the analogue domain and through high-quality discrete components. All settings applied in real-time in the analog domain. Combining top-notch audio quality, versatile connectivity, and unique features, the HP-10 is an outstanding amplifier at an unbeatable price.

The HP-10 features a touchscreen display with an intuitive interface that allows for quick adjustments and a super easy user experience. Ideal for all high-end systems, the HP-10 offers incredible options such as 4 Crossfeed modes for a natural 3D soundstage, Harman curve equalisation, variable gain and damping factor, along with a 0/180° phase switch.

The unit is available in three different models – with the additional digital inputs such as the Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX (HP-10 BT) and a premium DAC with USB-C input (HP-10 Deluxe) to become a fully standalone unit.

Features:

Studio

  • Crossfeed mixes L/R channels to recreate a sound stage, as if listening to loudspeakers.
  • Harman Curve optimises the EQ for listening with headphones.
  • Superflat linearises the response for the highs.
  • DF adjusts the Damping factor perfectly matching your headphones.

Balance

Allows you to control the volume of the L/R channels to ensure a personalised listening experience according to your auditory needs. This is a crucial feature since the headphones’ drivers are hard to match perfectly.

Input

All models feature balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs. The HP-10 BT features also Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The HP-10 DELUXE additionally offers a USB-C digital input on top of the Bluetooth 5.1 HD aptX. The digital inputs available on the BT and DELUXE models allow you to stream your music directly from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Output 

A vast range of outputs allows you to use the HP-10 with your favourite headphones – unbalanced (3.5 mm, 6.3 mm) and balanced (4.4 mm, 4-pin XLR) connectors are available on the front panel.
You can also select the line outputs to send audio to the RCA/XLR outputs and use the HP-10 as your line preamp, while also applying all the Studio settings.
