un plus
N'y croyant pas trop, me disant ouais un truc en plus sur le chemin.
Et bin non , c'est comme un relooking , dans mon cas plus de tension dans la musique , un grave mieux maitrisé, des détails révélés, ouais ils étaient là mais coulés dans le bruit.
La scène sonore est dans mon cas identique , ou s'il y a un truc je ne l'entends pas .
Bref au vu de l'investissement , je précise que je ne suis pas fan de I2S que tout le monde encense, mais que je trouve trop technique pour mes vieilles oreilles...Donc en coax, comme en aes, ça fait le taf .

Well known master piece for the price
Experience with Musician Pegasus before, using laptop Audirvana as a source, improvement was dramatic. Everything got better, longer listening session.
Currently, bought again after years, is connect to Gustard X18, music source, stand alone streamer. Again considerable improvement, confirming review were they call Gustard X18 + Gustard U18 the dream team.

bof
Honnetement ce truc me rend chevre, a l'ecoute on dirais que j'ecoute un vieux vinyl tous rayé, ca craque toute le 20 seconde, ca grésille, insuportable.

The Gustard U18 is an incredible device!
I recently bought a Gustard X18 DAC from Audiophonics and was blown away by its sound. It replaced my cheap but fantastic Khadas Tone Board DAC. I wrote my review of it on the Audiophonics website (https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/dac-with-volume/gustard-x18-dac-es9038pro-xmos-i2s-cpld-accusilicon-bluetooth-50-32bit-768khz-dsd512-mqa-black-p-15888.html). I regularly follow numerous audiophile forums and I noticed that many people praise the USB Digital Interface when their music source is a PC. Since my main music source is a PC, I decided to pull the trigger and order the Gustard U18. The choice seemed logical to me, since I already had a Gustard X18 DAC. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect from this device, nor whether I would hear any improvement in the already excellent sound of my system. After a few days, the device arrived in excellent packaging, as I have come to expect from Audiophonics. As soon as I connected it and played the first bars of classical music, I was completely taken aback. The sound image became much clearer, and the dynamic contrasts more natural. It reminded me of the moment when I first put on my prescription glasses. Yes, they were nuances in the sound, but very audible. The timbre of musical instruments became clearer, and in some performances of large orchestras I noticed violin vibrato for the first time. The resonance of the piano strings was now heard more clearly, giving the piano sound an incredible realism. The sound image was clearer and the arrangement of instruments within the sound stage more precise. The Gustard U18 has been in my system for two months now, and every time I turn on the system, I am amazed by the sound that comes from it. I recommend it unreservedly to anyone whose sound source is a PC. An incredible device!

Un stradivarius électronique?
Pour une écoute en fichiers dématérialisés, maillon central du système, l'interface est le coeur de l'installation. A acheter d'urgence . Gustard a créer une électronique digne d'un Stradivarius ! incroyablement musical. Et toujours la performance Audiophonics, au rendez- vous.

It sounds analogue!
The U18 deliveries. It's a perfect match to R26. After approximately 20hours I deliver calm and precision. It sounds analogue. Happy with this product.

A TRULLY EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
I CONSIDER THIS DIGITAL GIANT IT TO BE THE BEST BUY IN HIGH END AUDIO IN NOW DAYS. I PUT IT IN MY SYSTEM REPLACING A WEISS INT 202. THE WEISS JUST CAN'T STAND BESIDE GUSTARD....THE U18 UNIT BEATS IT IN ENERY AREA BY A WIDE MARGIN. IF ANYONE OF YOU HAS AN "OLD" HIGH END DAC (I HAVE AN AUDIO RESEARCH DAC 2) THIS IS THE WAY TO RESURRECT IT!! JUST PAIR YOUR BELOVED OLD DAC WITH A GUSTARD U18 DREAM MACHINE AND THANK ME LATER! TODAYS DAC JUST DON'T SOUND THAT GOOD!
