| SACD iso and DSD noise when stopping or closing music player The new ASIO driver for all Gustard DACs is now available. They are working on the website, and they are now posting firmware updates there. | |
| SACD iso and DSD noise when stopping or closing music player The only fix I have for J River is to select DOP in the prefs. It will send the DSD file in a PCM package (it does not convert it). The DAC will then unpack it and play the DSD file. There is a new ASIO driver on the Gustard site, but the link but... | |

| Is there anything to help using a computer from digital noise not that expensive Intona 7055-C USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Isolator. I finally broke down and got one of these. Shop around as some places sell it cheaper and reasonable shipping. This thing killed a ground loop issue for me. The small ones either didn't work very well. | |

| My upgrade I have a pair of REL subwoofers in the house...one for HT and one for my 2-channel system. I highly recommend them for clean, powerful bass. | |
| loud intermittent pops from DAC, possibly related to long USB cable from computer I second the Supra USB cable. I use a 15 foot one. I’ve never had connections issues from a basic PCIE USB card direct to the DAC. Be sure to disable/turn off any power management your computer may have on your USB ports. | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? I just upgraded from the DAC listed below to a Gustard x26 Pro. I'm aware the price and build quality are not comparable, but there is a remarkable difference between these two DACs. Some audiophiles would consider this overkill in my system, but ... |
