Gustard R26 R2R + 1Bit DSD DAC

Since 2021, AfterDark. introduce the new Giesemann 10M Master Clock. Most customers is already impressed with the improvement for UpTone EtherREGEN. This year 2022, most DAC in the market is introducing the new 10M Master Clock input for audiophiles who wants the best sounding whille unlock the performance on R2R DAC. 

AfterDark. would like to share how we optimised with audiophile system, with 10M Master Clock inputs. The Gustard R26 R2R DAC is the first R2R to build in the Master Clock with i2S hdmi inputs, MQA full decoding via USB and accepting 10M Master Clock inputs from Giesemann 10M Master Clock. The BNC input is 50ohm same input specification with Esoteric gears.  

This Gustard R26 R2R Flagship DAC is very attractive in price, costing 1/4 when compared to others R2R DAC in the market. It is worth to examine this Gustard R26 R2R DAC in details to try them with a high quality Giesemann Clock to maximise the sound quality.    

10M Master Reference clock Input Ready 

R26 R2R can be further optimise its sounding, where we can utilities the 10M Master Reference clock to unlock the real performance on DAC flagship chips ES9038PRO X 2 dual mono independently for 2 channels.
