High value balanced DAC

The balanced architecture and the i2S over HDMI input really make this DAC shine in my headphone system. It is fed from an Audio-gd DI-U8 DDC. Since I have installed, I haven't had the itch to upgrade at all. It plays content from Qobuz via Roon from a MacMini to Sonore microRendu, with amazing clarity, impact and spaciousness into my amps and headphones. The preamp volume control and remote are key features to relaxing out of arms reach.

Great preamp/DAC Bluetooth receiver

My Gustard x16 is replacing a Topping D70. They both sound great, but the Gustard is better for me because the Topping D70 does not have Bluetooth. Volume control with remote or knob works great. My only complaint about the Gustard x16 so far is that the display of the volume is tiny. I want to volume display to be at least 3 times bigger than it is. This is a minor problem that may annoy you if you use the Gustard as a preamp.
