Chinese DAC's


I have been looking at several DAC's trying to decide which one to put in my system.  Some of those DAC's I'm looking at  are built and designed in China.  Without getting political I don't think trade with China will ever be the same.  I hope that these engineers are able to get there products to market.  It would sure be a waste of talent.

I bought my Chinese made Gustard X26 Pro on Amazon a few years back.  I enjoy the clarity and soundstage I get, particularly using the I2S input.  In my room it sounded better than a Chord Cutest and a similarly priced Benchmark.  

I just got on Amazon and looked at the prices and I don't think they have gone up on Gustard products since the tariffs. 

I assume you all know that you can audition a Gustard DAC at home and if you don't like it you can drop it off at Whole Foods (at least in the US)
