GUSTARD A18 AK4499EQ MQA Balanced High-Performance Audio Decoder

Note: This is the latest version with MQA.

The Gustard DAC-A18 is a balanced DAC that benefits from a particularly careful design to deliver a sound of great purity and incredible richness.

"Looks like the A18 aims at very high level of performance, stopping just shy of heroic efforts to squeeze down the last bit of noise and distortion. In return if my memory is serving me correctly, you save money compared to the ones that do go that extra inch. So you more choice of pricing and performance in the top bracket.

I am happy to recommend the Gustard A18 DAC." - Audio Science Review
