Gustard who bought (and still keeps) the A22 ?

[Harmonie]

Everyone raves the D90 here, does the A22 have any chance ?

It's not a competition, it's just another D/A converter. If you have one, enjoy it.

Hello John, against all odd, I do indeed !
Gustard has no web site.
A22 is more expensive, very poor PR, heavier, the numbers are in favor of Topping's and in spite of all I do like it.

But are you sure that there is no competiton in this Sinad/Digital world ?

PS- I like your DIY's

 

[Harmonie]

I just wonder how many of us have returned it though.

Topping is good, SMSL is good, but still quite a lot of people follow Gustard, at the moment, A18/ A22 and P26 are almost sold out. So, do not worry about Gustard, just follow your desire.

Though most of you don't care ... Gustard A22 MQA version is sold +50$ on 31/July (Apos).

I have both, somehow I prefer A22 sweet, engaging and punchy sound without any hit in resolution or clarity, I attribute this to it's powerful dual mono, fully discrete output stage, where it shines most is as a Pre-Amp DAC with 6v output in balanced mode.
