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?

Say with apple logic?

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.

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