Complete connection system

The DAC X16 is equipped with a particularly complete set of connectors, which means that it can be easily integrated into most audio systems. Inputs include USB-B, Coaxial, Toslink Optical and I2S via HDMI, as well as Bluetooth 5.0. On the output side, the DAC offers a balanced XLR output and an unbalanced RCA output.

MQA decoding

The DAC X16 is capable of decoding MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) files via its Coaxial, AES, Optical and I2S inputs. MQA allows sound reproduction quality to be as close as possible to the original recording.

Dual ES9068AS DAC

Embedded on a pair of new-generation ESS Sabre ES9068AS chips, the DAC X16 provides a very rich and precise reproduction, with a THD+N of -120dB and a dynamic range of 128dBA. These chips also allow hardware decoding of AQA files and support high-resolution files up to 32bit 768kHz PCM and DSD512.

Altera MAX II CPLD

An Altera MAX II CPLD provides perfect clock signal handling for extremely low jitter, while offering audio signal correction and enabling DoP decoding.

High quality design

The DAC X16 is equipped with many high-quality components. These include low-distortion and low-noise OPA1612 AOPs on the I/V conversion circuit, Vishay and MELF resistors, TPS7A47 and TPS7A33 linear regulators and a custom-designed toroidal transformer.

Two Accusilicon AS318-B clocks are also present to provide an extremely accurate clock signal.

Bluetooth 5.0

Equipped with a Qualcomm CSR8675 chip, the DAC X16 can receive audio streams via Bluetooth. In addition, this chip supports the SBC and AAC codecs, but above all aptX, aptX LL, aptX HD and LDAC for a stable transmission and a more than convincing reproduction.

XMOS XU216

The USB-B input is associated with a high-performance XMOS XU216 chip. It supports PCM files up to 32bit 768kHz, DSD files up to DSD512 and 384kHz MQA files.

HDMI I2S-H Pinout

The Gustard DAC X16 can be powered over a voltage range of 100-240VAC. However, it is imperative to select the voltage corresponding to that supplied by your electrical network on the back of the unit before connecting the unit.

super dac
j'ai découvert depuis peu cette marque chez audiophonis qui ma foi permet d'avoir du matériel de qualité sans forcément faire crédit, je suis tout a fait satisfait la qualité du son est au rdv, relié a l'ampli casque de la marque correspondant a ce modèle le résultat est vraiment satisfaisant, je recommande.

Great DAC

This DAC represents great value for the money. In my system, it replaced Topping E50 that has the same ES9068A chip, only single one. Differences are easy to be heard as better sound stage, additional fine details in the reproduction and better separation of multiple voices or instruments.
Only let down is display. It’s very dim, even at max. brightness, with too small characters.
From the moment of order to delivered it took only 25 hours, from France to Croatia, using TNT service. Bravo Audiophonics!

Terrible
Ce DAC est incroyable. Transparence, dynamique, scène profonde et large, une avalanche de détails sans être froid ou trop analytique. Les timbres sont exceptionnel, y compris sur les basses (une première sur mon système).
Pour moi c'est le le régulateur directement intégré dans la nouvelle puce ES9068AS qui fait la différence, avec un pour chaque canal, le résultat est bluffant.
Seul défaut, Gustard a volontairement rendu l'écran illisible (son et canal minuscule) pour ne pas déposition le X18 et en théorie vendre le X16 en combo casque avec le H16.
Sur un ampli de puissance il est meilleur seul qu'avec le préampli H16 malgré le contrôle de volume analogique sur ce dernier.
Sous -30db il est peu moins bon il perd un peu de rapport signal bruit du fait du volume digital (non destructeur sur les ESS 32 bits). J'ai acheté un atténuateur pour être le plus proche de la dynamique maximale à mon volume d'écoute.

Gustard x 16
J ai acheté ce dac et il est parfait. Je l ai connecté à ma box en forçant la prise coax de celle-ci (pas aux normes) le son sort neutre mais pas froid, comme dans le réel, époustouflant !! J ai aussi relié le dac en optique a mon lecteur DVD Samsung de base avec le cordon viablue vendu sur ce site et ça m évite de payer un coax a 200 euros. Le son vaut un lecteur cd a 500 euros, que du bon. En plus je peux commander le volume vers l ampli. Franchement super.
