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 Flavio Iyer

ok im new to hifi but i know what i like and i can say i like this DAC! Sound on the right channel, and it's the best DAC I've heard to get such a crisp and clear sound. However, I can say that if you are not happy with the dual-chip design, you can get by with a cheaper DAC, or if you don't like the sound presentation of the ESS Saber chip, maybe an AKM chip DAC will do you happy. /PC USB Audio OutDAC (formerly DACMagic 200m) now X26 Pro XLR Out AZUR851a XLR Out Power Amplifier AZUR851w KEF LS50 MetaSub Speakers KEF KUBE 12bPro: Dual ESS Saber chipset with warmer (non-sterile) sound. ! Seriously, the bass sound is incredibly smooth yet very well defined. - Large sound stage depth. - Detailed, detailed, detailed sound. - MQA support. - Simple LCD screen. - Some filters and setting options to customize. large), reliable processing quality. Cons: - Price, it's $1500, DACMagic 200m is 75% better but 33% cheaper ($500). - LCD screen could be better. - The remote control looks cheap. - Management is not very good at all. - Customer support and customer service is really non-existent. - MQA similar to (Fur). Sounds good, but maybe not worth the hype. Although I like it. Ultimately this is the best DACMagic but I would only recommend it for true Hi-Fi fans who are willing to spend money. Alternatives $500 DAMMagic 200m (amazing value and sound, with MQA) $500-1000 SMSL M400 (again MQA, but good value). $1000-$1500 Gustard X26 Pro or RME ADI FSI wanted MQA and dual chips but I've only heard good things about RME ADI and that would be my second best. The price is 1200 dollars.
