Gustard X16 Owners feedback...

[ADF]

Thanks for the information. I was looking at a used M21 but it is quite pricy. I'll check out the M3 with the MDx board. I don't think I would take advantage of all the features of the M21.

Can't be some powerful cleaning product used by you wife?

There would be no mystery if she did so.
It did not have any direct sunlight exposure in past 1,5 years. Back panel is still black (ish), but not as black as Topping. So black is fading from enclosure.

Ok, thanks. I wonder if discoloration of my unit is unique fault.

I searched Roon communities for white noise, DSD, DAC and there were a few postings but all before 2018. Perhaps the Roon delay option on the DAC device setup was instituted for this???

I had it at the default (zero) and since have changed it to 1000. No issues with noise since.

I've been plagued with the DSD issue on my X16 and had the programmer in my cart but kept reading this thread. Good thing I did, because your fix worked wonders for me. I am profoundly grateful sir!

You didn't by any chance leave that blue plastic film on ?
