Gustard U18 USB Audio Interface
Impeccably Pristine Audio Performance
As far as digital audio interfaces go, your sound is only going to be as good as the components inside the device. And as far as components go, the Gustard U18 is one interface that checks all the boxes. Running the whole show is the XMOS XU216 16-core processor that’s capable of delivering both Native DSD512 and up to 768 kilohertz, 32-bit audio resolution for all of your high-fidelity needs. The U18 also employs a 200 megabit-per-second isolator that fully grounds the unit and eliminates any possible interference from your PC source device. You’ll also find Gustard’s K2, second-generation clock synthesizer paired with an impressive duo of ACCU silicon AS336 crystal oscillators for truly rock-solid, jitter-free clocking and recreation. All of these next-level components are loaded into a sleek, futuristic-looking chassis that exudes class, style, and high-end quality.
