Gustard R26

Is anyone else looking forward to the reviews coming out on the Gustard R26 r2rDac? I am interested to see if it can compete with the Holo Spring at a lower price point. How will it stand up to the other r2r dac’s out there right now. It does present well and is feature rich right out of the box. Is it a true proprietary resistor board or is it off the shelf and tweaked? I know the other Gustard equipment is well received and liked so my hopes are high for this as well.

There is a firmware update for you R26 on the Gustard website if you need it.

Interesting, there never was any update for the x26 I have had for 9 months. Obviously the r26 is new technology to them.

I am using the version F.20 firmware for my X26Pro. I am hoping they start posting all of these firmware updates on the website.

On another site they said the firmware was for roon end point. One owner said it disables some functions when he did the update. I will not be using roon thus I am holding off on update. Everything I need is working fine.
