Gustard unveils with its DAC-R26 an absolutely exceptional digital to analog converter. This one uses an R2R architecture using discrete components of very high quality and perfectly optimized to offer exceptional sound performances. Practical, it benefits in addition to a complete connectivity, of a Bluetooth and network connectivity, allowing to control the reading of your music at distance. The whole is integrated in a sublime modern and luxurious chassis of the most beautiful effect.

The Gustard DAC-R26 does not support standalone network playback (it cannot directly access streaming services) and requires the use of a third-party application (such as BubbleUPnP, Mconnect, Roon, or Audirvana, for example) for music control and playback.

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.

Excepcional sonido
Un DAC R2R que dicen son algo oscuros, pero este tiene un montón de detalle, separación y una escena sonora excepcional. Lo puede mejorar aun mas aportando mas detalle y resolución con un reloj externo. En mi caso uso un reloj dedicado GPS que se llama Leo Bodnar Reference y el aparato suena aun mejor.

EXCELLENTE REVELATION.
Je l'utilise avec ROSE RS 150 B en mode drive , ou avec mon 3D NANO LAB PLAYER SIGNATURE' en mode drive lui aussi.
Le résultat est très intéressant. Le niveau de sortie ANALOGIQUE de ce DAC est réglable, ou fixe, ce qui permet de l'utiliser en préampli, ou d'adapter le gain avec l'ampli qui lui fait suite. L' horloge externe 10 MHZ LHY AUDIO que j'ai rajoutée, vient jouer le chef d'orchestre, et c'est fabuleux..! Je suis enchantée du résultat. Je ne conseille pas sa partie streamer par contre, qui n'est pas grandissime. (ROSE RS 150 ou 3D NANOLAB signature font bien mieux en "streamer" )

GUSTARD R26
GUSTARD DAC-R26 is an excellent R2R DAC, I used to have SMSL D1s, they are quite decent, however, GUSTARD is far away in sound, has stronger dynamics, clear highs, solid bass, full mids, settings are simple, then I did not try RJ45, nothing USB works great, I probably wouldn't use Roon, it's a parody of Audirvan, everything can be set much better there and with good tuning it gives excellent performance. Of course, it plays even better with the HQ player, which I would recommend. The conversion to DSD 512/1bit is fantastic. MQA also has very good results in presenting the sound space. You will then receive an excellent signal into your amplifier. This DAC is an excellent choice for more advanced connoisseurs. I recommend listening to the album Jean Guillou – Orgue et Percussions. You will get excellent space, wonderful acoustics, perfect dynamics, of course it depends on the type of your amplifier and speakers. This DAC is so good that I am considering buying another one. I can definitely recommend

Des les premières écoute le Gustard fait de la très belle musique
Mais avec un coté un peu glacé
Il faut être très patient.
Mais une fois rodé je confirme que ce Dac est vraiment fantastique la musique est libérée aucune coloration.
Et encore meilleur avec un drive extérieur 3Dlab.
Bravo..!
