Got an X30 about a week and a half ago, this afternoon it dropped the right channel for the second time.
Now I'm not sure if I want a replacement or just a refund,
I've tried Gustard a few times over the years. I think I've experienced more problems with them than any other brand I can remember. The sound seems interesting but I never really got to evaluate very long due to problems showing up pretty quickly. Maybe just bad luck on my part?
I've owned the X26 and the R26 twice and I've never had any problems with Gustard. Great sounding DACs for the price. They are fairly high volume products sold world wide so it wouldn't be surprising if even 1 in 500 failed and those unlucky owners posted negatively about them that it would seem like there were a lot of bad units when as a percentage of all units sold it was quite small.
