The combination of the CEN.GRAND GLD1.0 Deluxe Digital Player and CEN.GRAND DSDAC1.0 Deluxe DAC presents a unique high-end audio solution. This system employs the groundbreaking POW (Parting of the Ways) transmission technology which separates data and clock signals, ensuring utterly distortion-free, detailed, and natural sound. This pairing delivers an uncompromising musical experience that sets a new standard in digital playback and D/A conversion.

GLD1.0 represents a paradigm shift in digital players, replacing conventional USB audio protocols with PCIe-based synchronized data transfer that guarantees 100% data integrity while eliminating sound-degrading error corrections.

The central control unit features an Intel i7-1165G7 processor, 16 GB LPDDR4x RAM, and 500 GB SSD for stable, high-speed operation. The player offers HDMI-I2S, SPDIF, and POW outputs, running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC for industrial-grade stability and long-term support.

GLD1.0’s default playback software is JRiver Media Center, capable of handling all high-resolution formats, though alternative software like Roon or Audirvana can also be installed. The device is fully network-compatible, featuring Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless integration with NAS systems and home networks.

The DSDAC1.0 Deluxe is designed explicitly for native DSD processing, without PCM conversion. Its unique architecture ensures complete purity and preservation of the DSD signal character.

The device can upsample DSD64 signals up to DSD1024 using proprietary algorithms, significantly reducing noise and enriching microdynamic detail. Its femtosecond-precision clock generator, combined with Synchronous Direct Clock and Clock Blocking technologies, wholly eliminates jitter and external interference.

Analog outputs include balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA, with volume control ranging from –65 dB to +4 dB and pre-amplifier functionality offering up to +5 dB gain. Inputs include USB (native DSD512) and SPDIF interfaces (AES/EBU, optical, coaxial, BNC) with DSD64 support in DoP mode.

Communication between GLD1.0 and DSDAC1.0 utilizes the POW (Parting of the Ways) system which completely separates data and clock transmission:

Audio Data: transmitted via optical cables using telecom-grade transceivers, noise-free over distances of several kilometers.

Clock Signals: transmitted via coaxial BNC cables with femtosecond accuracy.

This completely eliminates noise, distortion, and jitter common in USB or SPDIF transmissions, resulting in stable, clear, and fully faithful sound reproduction.

This package design ensures flawless, distortion-free, and perfectly timed digital signals arriving at the DAC. GLD1.0’s flexible software ecosystem and network functionality provide full user control, while the DSDAC1.0’s refined analog section delivers premium sound quality.

Together, this pair forms an uncompromising high-end reference system elevating the digital listening experience to new heights.

The GLD1.0’s default player is JRiver Media Center, supporting all popular audio formats including high-bitrate PCM and DSD files. JRiver facilitates comprehensive library management, playlist creation, and online streaming integration, all controllable via JRiver Remote or JRemote3 apps on mobile devices. For users preferring other platforms, GLD1.0 supports any ASIO-compatible player, allowing free choice among Roon, Audirvana, or other popular players.

GLD1.0 is a fully network-based system, easily integrated into home networks or NAS via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. The Admin DSDAC software automates network management, Wi-Fi setup, and auto-launching of the default player with minimal user intervention. It also works offline, automatically resuming the last played track on power-up without keyboard, mouse, network, or remote app.

GLD1.0’s panel is simple and multifunctional. The power button, playback controls, mute, and arrow keys serve not only to control playback but also to navigate menus within the Admin DSDAC software. The power button operation follows Windows-based system boot protocols: the device safely starts only when the power indicator blinks slowly, ensuring stable and error-free booting. If the system fails to boot properly, toggling the main power switch off and on for 10 seconds restores normal function.

GLD1.0's greatest advantage is complete flexibility and customization. Users can install any playback software, connect online music platforms, integrate NAS systems, and build their own music libraries. The device ensures full data integrity through the POW protocol and PCIe-synchronized data transfer, delivering consistently precise, clear, and detailed sound.

Additionally, GLD1.0 allows mobile and computer control, enabling users to manage playlists, adjust audio settings, or launch streaming services remotely. The device is not just a digital player but a fully networked, customizable music hub delivering the highest level of sound quality and complete freedom in music listening.
