The Gustard DAC-X22 uses the ESS ES9038PRO DAC chip, has a native full balance, a class division line, and a double completely independent power source. It has clock management and two asynchronous and synchronous clock modes. The whole interface supports DSD DOP decoding and PCM384K DSD256. The CPLD programmable logic chip, 2nd PLL digital plastic, DOP demodulation, and PCM/DSD depop exclusive technology all combine to make this a stellar DAC.
