Gustard has released the X26 Pro a flagship-grade desktop DAC. It comes as an upgrade to the highly-appreciated X26 from Gustard that was ceased production a few months back. The latest X26 Pro houses top of a line DAC chipset housing two ES9038Pro DAC chips from Sabre Technologies. This beast of a device will surely bring life to your desktop audio chain and deliver a fabulous performance with super clean audio signal decoding.

Dual Flagship DAC Chips:-

Gustard has opted for premium DAC chips by Sabre Technologies for its flagship Desktop device. The X26 Pro houses two high-performance ES9038 Pro DAC chips. The ES9038 Pro sets a new benchmark in audio signal decoding with the industry’s highest dynamic range support. It is a 32-Bit, 8-Channel DAC made for high-end desktop systems.

Premium XMOS USB Signal Receiver Chip:-

The high-performance Dual DAC chipset is backed by a class-leading 16-core USB signal receiver chip from XMOS, the XU216. It provides excellent hi-res signal support including PCM support for 32-Bit/768kHz, and DSD up to DSD512 natively. It also enables full decoding support for high-resolution MQA files over USB signal input.

Built-in K2 Ultra-Low-Noise Synthesizer:-

Gustard has equipped the X26 Pro with their in house developed K2 Ultra-low noise clock synthesizer. It allows the device to achieve ultra-low jitter performance. Benefitting from this, the master clock of the DAC chipset is also controlled by the K2 high-precision clock synthesizer.

High-Definition Bluetooth Connectivity:-

Using a premium CSR8675 Bluetooth chip from Qualcomm, the X26 pro supports seamless Bluetooth V 5.0 connectivity. It allows support for multiple hi-res codec support such as LDAC, AptX, SBC, AAC, and more for high-definition audio signal streaming.

Multiple Input/Output Options:-

Connect the X26 pro to your setup using multiple input options such as USB, IIS, Bluetooth, Coaxial, AES, and Optical. For output, the device features fully balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line out options.

DSP Digital Filtering:-

The Gustard X26 Pro features a high-performance digital filter solution developed on the analog device SHARC digital audio dedicated DSP Platform. It features a self-developed high-performance anti-aliasing noise algorithm for a super clean signal decoding.

Independent Power Supply:-

There are two high-quality audio dedicated toroidal transformers separately supplying power for the digital and analog circuits. This allows for super-clean power to all the different components on the audio motherboard resulting in a clean, noise-free audio output.
