The Gold Note IS-1000 MKII Deluxe is the kind of gear that makes you stop second-guessing your system and start listening to music. At its core is a 125-watt Class AB MOSFET amplifier — built with real grip and authority — fed by a Burr-Brown PCM1792A DAC that handles the digital side with something close to analog composure. The phono stage, derived directly from the award-winning PH-10, isn't a checkbox afterthought: it's a full MM/MC front-end capable of genuine finesse. Roon Ready, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Qobuz Connect, Tidal Connect — all aboard, over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Stream, spin records, or feed it a coaxial or optical source. Everything arrives in a single carved-aluminum Italian chassis, beautifully finished in Black, Silver, or Gold — as handsome as it is capable.

Liner Notes
Imagine a complete High-End stereo system enclosed in a beautiful aluminum chassis carved in bold Italian style: this is IS-1000. With the knowledge and the experience developed in over 20 years of research, we are now able to offer an all-in-one solution powered by the most advanced technologies and components to achieve true audiophile quality sound.
IS-1000 is an advanced fully integrated amplifier that redefines the way music playback is experienced to achieve a new pinnacle in High-End audio, seamlessly merging a powerful Class A/B Integrated Amplifier, a Phono Preamp, a DAC and a Streamer in a unique, complete source. The refined technical innovations of IS-1000 come directly from our flagship models, like the preamplifier P-1000 and the power amplifier PA-1175, which inspired us to create a new source that would integrate the analogue components of a high quality amplifier with the digital technologies of a Streamer and a DAC to deliver outstanding performances.
IS-1000 is a Roon Ready device, fully compatible with multi-room systems and with a quick plug & play installation. The DAC Deluxe variant features the upgraded BurrBrown PCM1792A. For vinyl enthusiasts, connect your turntable directly into IS-1000 and use the integrated Phono Preamp — developed from the multi-awarded PH-10. The Class A/B amplifier with 125W@8Ω per channel guarantees pure sound, vivid dynamics and the finest detail, with a wide range of digital and analogue inputs to assure total control. IS-1000 also features an Adjustable Damping Factor allowing the connection of any speaker — small monitors or high efficiency speakers — always ensuring the best audio performance.
