High-End AKM DAC Chipset
Gustard A26 adopts a flagship-grade dual DAC chipset designed with two AK4499EX DAC Chips. The chips are arranged in a parallel arrangement, one for each channel. Together with a high-performance XMOS USB Processor, and other premium components on the audio circuitry, the A26 provides rich and smooth high-resolution audio signal decoding.
Independent Digital & Analog Circuits
In order to deliver top-quality performance, Gustard A26 has got independent digital and analog circuitry. This includes AK4499EX DAC chips, AK4191 Modulators, independent toroidal transformers-based power supplies, etc. A26 produces exceptional performance!!
High-Resolution PCM, DSD, MQA Audio Signals
Gustard A26 supports full decoding for high-resolution audio signals. This includes up to 32-Bit/768kHz PCM signals, native DSD512 signals, and full MQA rendering. It’s a one-point solution for all your high-resolution audio decoding that too with impressive resolution and clarity!!
Gustard’s K2 Ultra-Low Noise Clock Synthesizer
Gustard A26 features one exclusively designed FPGA architecture. This includes signal routing, clock management, 2nd order PLL, and more features. A26 houses an independent femtosecond crystal oscillator along with Gustard’s in-house developed K2 ultra-low noise clock synthesizer. It allows for precision clock adjustment from internal oscillators and also supports 10MHz external digital clock input.
Streamer & Render Function
Gustard A26 brings easy access to high-quality online music streaming with different app support including Room, UPnP, and HQPlayer NAA. Gustard is working to add more protocols and applications to the A26’s supported list.
