Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS


Was wondering why the gustard has 2 toroidal transformers and the rme gets way without one?

How does the transformer enable and how does it effect SQ?

RME uses a "wall-wart" power adapter, which is a small switching power supply.  It gets the job done, but switching power supplies are very noisy and don't provide smooth strong current.

Gustard has 2 transformers which means at least two separate linear power supplies (probably one for digital section and one for analog section).  Linear power supplies have much cleaner and smoother current.  This results in much higher sound quality.
I love the Gustard X26 Pro. I saved a ton of cash getting this over a $6K DAC I had originally considered. The following review discusses the power supplies.
