Discrete R2R

The R2R DAC used in the Gustard DAC-R26 relies on high precision resistor switching to perform the digital to analog conversion. Compared to a Delta-Sigma DAC, the R2R offers a more pure and natural sound. A more expensive and demanding design, but one that offers incomparable performance.

Synchronous clock technology

The principle of this technology is that the source clock is used only as a frequency reference. The synchronous signal provided by the ultra-low noise K2 module is then used to replace the source clock. The source clock is therefore abandoned and the DAC uses only the extremely precise femtosecond clock and the conversion is therefore not affected by the source clock. This architecture thus allows a significant reduction in jitter.

LPF

The Gustard DAC-R26's LPF low-pass circuit parameters are finely optimized. The use of discrete components rather than integrated circuits allows independent adjustment of each element to achieve the best operating conditions.

Network connectivity

The DAC-26 benefits from a network connectivity thanks to its RJ45 port. It supports UPnP, AirPlay and Roon Bridge protocols. It will allow you to enjoy your music stored on your network devices.

Bluetooth 5.0

In addition to its network connectivity, the DAC-26 is also equipped with a Bluetooth 5.0 receiver chip. This one offers the possibility of controlling the reading of your music remotely, directly from your smartphone.

XMOS USB Interface

Another high quality component embedded in the DAC-26, its USB XMOS interface. This one allows him, via its USB input, to decode high resolution audio streams, until the PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512.

Très bon DAC
Je souhaitais avoir un DAC R2R (ayant des DAC Sigma assez proches au niveau du son). Ce R26 répond plus qu’à mes attentes, bon équilibre entre les détails et une présentation holographique plus saturée en timbres (j’écoute du classique et du lyrique principalement). La définition des notes élevées est superbe et bien étendue comme j’aime. C’est un DAC qui peut être dynamique, donc adapté à mon avis à pas mal de styles musicaux. Autre point fort du Gustard, un espace sonore très vaste. Utilisé avec un lecteur Rose RS 250 que j’avais pour le streaming et intégré Denon PMA 110 avec enceintes Focal Kanta 1, le Gustard apporte une plus-value à mon installation. Un produit avec un rapport qualité sonore, fabrication / prix imbattable.

This DAC replaced my Denafrips Pontus II
I have been using this DAC for a couple of months now, and I have been very pleased with my purchase. I previously owned the Denafrips Pontus II DAC, which sounded good, but to me the R26 sounds more smooth and natural in the treble and the bass is better defined. The soundstage of the R26 is a bit smaller than that of the Pontus II, but the sounds are still placed very nicely around my head with the R26. On another note, the streamer of the R26 is very nice and have made my music listening experience better! I highly recommend this DAC for people searching for a good value DAC around this price point.

Superbe produit, et merveilleuse restitution de la musique!
Au déballage, surprise: finition exceptionnelle, pour moi, c’est beau! On regarde la face arrière c’est la première fois que je découvre cet équipement, multitudes d’entrées et possibilités de sorties! Toutes possèdes un cache de protection, même l’entrée RJ45! Superbe! Une fois branché à la chaîne surprise: que la restitution musicale est remarquable! Je suis tellement surpris que j’ai envie d’écouter mes CD délaissés depuis plusieurs mois, stupéfaction! Ils sonnent d’une façon beaucoup plus analogique! Même constatation sur l’écoute de la musique dématérialisée enregistrée sur le NAS. La diffusion est presque holographique elle prend un relief, un placement, une profondeur spectaculaire! Je ne pensais pas découvrir cette musicalité! Je suis comblé! Un appareil exceptionnel! Merci Audiophonics et GUSTARD! SOMPTUEUX!

Fantastique!
Après plusieurs mois d’utilisation, je suis encore plus impressionné et heureux de posséder ce dac Gustard. Comme déjà mentionné dans d’autres commentaires, il nécessite plusieurs heures de rodage et gagne vraiment en profondeur et précision avec le temps. Les basses fréquences descendent alors vraiment bien. Après ce rodage, le son devient extrêmement précis, profond avec une scène large. Bref, je ne lui trouve aucun manque par rapport à un dac delta sigma, mais un gros avantage par rapport à ceux-ci: le son est NATUREL et sans dureté. Ce dac fait de la musique avant tout. Un véritable plaisir.
