New product - CEN.GRAND GLD1.0 Deluxe Network Transport
In a domain long dominated by USB-based digital audio solutions, CEN.GRAND redefines the landscape with the launch of the DSDAC GLD1.0 - the world’s first consumer-grade network transport to feature direct PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)-based data transmission between transport and DAC.
This ground-breaking design eliminates a critical bottleneck in digital audio: the inherent limitations of asynchronous USB audio protocols. By completely bypassing USB, the GLD1.0 ensures uncompromised data integrity and sets a new reference standard for digital playback performance.
Built on x64 CPU architecture and running a Windows-based platform, the GLD1.0 Deluxe Network Transport harnesses the power of 64-bit processing to effortlessly manage high-resolution audio streams and demanding digital signal workflows with exceptional speed and stability.
The GLD1.0 is more than just a transport - It’s a statement: lossless digital is finally real.
Shipping soon. Stay tuned.

Why PCIe Matters
Unlike USB audio, which prioritizes uninterrupted playback even if it means discarding corrupted packets, PCIe maintains strict error correction discipline. Either the data arrives intact, or the transfer is halted. For audio, that means:
Preserved microdynamics and spatial integrity,
No interpolation artifacts,
Full harmonic envelope recovery.
This “zero-loss” approach has long been considered impractical in consumer audio—until now.
