Säljer svart Gustard R26 DAC i fint skick. Äger den från december 2023. Fungerar som den skall. Levereras med vanligt elkabel, bättre WiFi-antenn och fjärrkontrollen. Har inte original kartongen! Snus, djur och tobaksfri hus. Kan skickas - föredrar upphämtning.
The timing doesn’t raise any red flags here; this is an established DAC, not a fast-moving current-gen piece, so the question is mostly whether the price matches the used market. At kr11,000, it sits a bit above the kr9,761 median and just over the kr11,052 75th percentile, so this is broadly fair rather than a bargain, with only a small premium if the unit is clean and complete.
It’s worthwhile because the R26 is well-liked for its dense, natural presentation and very capable multibit-style sound that still competes well in serious systems. If the listing includes the original box, remote, and a tidy ownership history, that supports the price; if not, I’d still consider it, but I’d want confirmation it’s fully functional and unmodified before paying at the top end of the range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Gustard is a Chinese hi-fi brand headquartered in Shenzhen, a hub for technology innovation, where it specializes in research and development of digital audio components. Emerging from Shenzhen Geshide Dianzi Electronics, the company has carved a niche without a prominent founding year or notable individual founder highlighted in public records, focusing instead on engineering-driven designs since its inception in the digital audio boom.
The brand excels in DACs (digital-to-analog converters) and headphone amplifiers, offering models like the delta-sigma X30, A26, and A18 series alongside R2R ladder designs such as the R26 and R30. These incorporate premium chips like ESS ES9039SPRO in quad-mono setups and AKM AK4499EX, supporting high-resolution audio, streaming, and clock synchronization for precise playback. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, or cables, Gustard emphasizes measurable transparency in frequency response, crosstalk, THD+N, and SNR.
Positioned as a mid-to-high-end contender, Gustard delivers rational, science-backed performance that rivals pricier competitors, appealing to discerning buyers seeking value in transparent sound. Reviews praise its spectacular results and R2R appeal for audiophiles, though some note room for pricing refinement against delta-sigma peers. It holds strong favor among enthusiasts for accessible excellence from China.
