Review on 🎧 Gustard X26 Pro Full-Balanced MQA DAC Dual ES9038PRO LDAC USB/Coaxial/Optical/IIS XMOS HiFi Class A Decoder Remote Control (Black) by Jason Epstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The One to Beat

The X26Pro is definitely a step forward in terms of reliable authority on my system. This is especially noticeable in the treble/high range of the upper midrange where snare drum, hi-hat cymbals and percussion instruments reside. Defined, lean and more refined. This and more mid-range instrument and vocal definition. The bass digs deep but maintains density. Finally, it's still an early listening session, but the channel separation with the still holographic/3D soundstage really stands out.
