Gustard N18 Pro LHY FMC switches.


Curious if there are any Gustard N18 Pro users. I see some banter about their DAC's and also on the LHY products, so feedback on the LHY FMC would be appreciated.

Not familiar with the Gustard N18 switch. I own the X26 PRO, A26, U18 and C18. However for the switch I went with the LHY SW-10 for the following reasons. 1) It has a connection for a master clock and 2) it can take an optical isolation feed in and put it out as ethernet. Both of these important things I use. Not sure about the N18 options. Will take a look at it.

The N18 PRO looks to be a copy of the LHY SW-10. I would have probably gone for it if it was available when I purchased my LHY.

Just came across this thread on the Gustard N18 Pro switch- has anyone added this to their system?  Currently contemplating either a LHY SW 8 or SW 6.  The Gustard and the LHY SW8 are close in price.  

Just picked up a LHY OCK-2 to pair with my Mutec MC3+USB and Teac 701t.   It is much nicer quality than I expected.  Synced perfectly with each.  Runs cold to the touch.  LHY feels like good stuff so far.  

I think I may also pick up the SW-6.   

I have the LHY SW-8 cascading into the N18, then into the N18 Pro. I had the LHY first and added the two Gustards later. I did notice an improvement when adding the N18's. The noise floor dropped and details became clearer and micro dynamics came through clearer. 

I just ordered the SW-6 from the same Ali vendor I bought the OCK-2 from so hopefully it will arrive in a week or so.
