Review and Measurements of Gustard DAC-X26

[Veri]

Oh geesh. If it wasn't clear enough I want to know how well the X22 measures up to X26.

Hard to say if there's no third party measurements around.

Is this dac discontinued and now replaced by X-22 with just one ES9038Pro and therefore cheaper ?
I feel that Gustard tries to counter Toppings cheaper prices

The X22 was released about 2 years ago before the X26

Any info if these units can be used for music production?

Don’t know about Gustard but I am using smsl su 8 with ableton on pc. Works fine with usb, I can play software intstruments with keyboard and latency dont seem to be an issue. So far no problems and mixes are better compared to focusrite scarlett = better da conversion= you hear better inside the mix= better decisions= more balanced mix.

The upgrade version of X26, the Pro version is upcoming pretty soon!

Will it have the ESS USB interface? Does that now have native Linux support?

Strange that both RCA & XLR have the same output impedance (100 ohms) ?

Not my fault if on google 'Gustard official site' or 'Gustard website' doesn't show. I searched 5 minutes, i also remember asking Gustard via messages and they didn't reply me. So dude, i asked. Sorry for that.
