I'm thinking the same,but I always check the MQA page to see if it made it to the playback device list,they update that as soon as they approve something.

Gustard X16 Balanced MQA DAC Review
- Thread starter amirm
- Start date
Um I think he has a presonus interface he was trying to get up and running and posted on the wrong thread
Don't understand your post.
Did you check Gustard's X16 manual ?
Is that that the wrong thread ?

Check page 7
Guy was talking earlier about how to set up his presonus interface with asio drivers, I think he was in the wrong thread, someone sent him on a chase for gustard drivers thinking that he's has an x16
Don't overlook the smiley in my original post. But, yes, this IS a first a world "problem" to be sure.
If anyone has received a unit they wouldn't be allowed to tell you because gustard could get in serious trouble for selling unlicensed units to the public. Just a guess though....
I just read an email from SHENZHENAUDIO and the rep (Bonnie) said that shipping should be middle of January. Damn, I wish that I had been wrong. Who knows, maybe things will go faster than they think? Anyway, as I had said, based on everything that I had read to this point it looked like middle of January and this just seems to confirm this. First world problems for sure.

Is the following information valid?
https://www.xmos.ai/software/usb-audio/driver-support/
In the future, is it better to use XMOS drivers or GUSTARD?

Yes, the GUSTARD dedicated driver supports ASIO, and the sound is the best.
The dedicated driver can be downloaded from the official website of GUSTARD http://www.gustard.cn/.
Or download provided by the merchant.
Windows 10's own driver can also work, but it does not support ASIO, and the sound is not good enough.

I wonder if I should cancel my D90 order and get this
What made you choose the D90 ?
Only bother if there is some feature or significant price difference. The D90 and X16 are both audibly transparent so in blind listening testing you wouldn't be able to tell them apart. And 3 months from now another DAC will come along and best the X16 in some small, but ultimately immaterial way. We really are in the golden age where reasonable cash outlays nets us gear that even five years ago for comparable performance would have been quite a bit pricier. Good times to be buying DACs and other audio gear. Heck even speakers are getting better and less expensive. What is the world coming to?
To an extent. Still, if we want robust, cutting edge development, we need standards and certification processes. Not saying I am an MQA believer, because I'm not, but I do like when companies strive to take things to the next level.
No.
