Maybe so, but there is no notice on the site itself. It looks like I can buy something like normal however.- Ramrod152001

I can't reach Headphones.com, help?
Hi guys, I didn't know where to post so I posted here. I have sent several emails to Headphones.com over the past few days to do a return, but I have not heard back from them (info@headphones.com) . I have emailed and received responses on other questions in the past. Is anything going...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
Lmao this is an outrage! Also I recommend the Matrix Audio X-SPDIF 2 USB Converter with iPower Low Noise DC Power Supply - including International Travel Adapters by iFi Audio (5V), works really well- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
I haven't tried Coaxial or AES yet, however I suspect this delay is due to something going on with the USB implementation. Optical works with no apparent sound delay.- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
So I tested it out. When playing a video via VLC Player using USB input; there is a slight delay in sound, as if a few milliseconds behind. When using Optical input, there is no such delay. Playing youtube the delay in USB seems less apparent compared to playing a video file on the computer...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
For an update, I resolved my Android issues! In USB Audio Player Pro. I had to use USB Tweak 1, which disables clock info from the DAC. Regarding my being able to play 192khz by optical, Shenzhen audio wants to send me an optical cable to test it. But I doubt it's the cable, as the one I have...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
I have never tried a CD player to dac before. My experience is pretty limited in that regard. I have iBasso dx200 (dap with dual 9028 pro), Sony TA-ZH1ES (DAC/Amp ), THX-AAA 789 Amp, and Gustard H20 Amplifier. In the following order: Gustard X26 with Gustard H20 amp is the best combo...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
It's hard to describe, but it gives better results than my SMSL SU-8 Version 2, iBasso dx200, and Sony TA-ZH1ES. I love all of these components; but the Gustard has superior stereo separation, as well as a smooth and detailed sound. To me, it's pushing it for how much a DAC should cost...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
The DAC sounds fantastic. I have been using an SMSL SU-8 Version 2 which is also excellent. The amplifier is THX AAA 789. I also have a Gustard H20 amplifier (which is really excellent and a bit better than the THX, better more authoritative sound all across the frequency range, especially...- Ramrod152001

Gustard X26 Dual ES9038PRO DAC with ESS USB chip
Hey everyone! I got this DAC yesterday and have been playing around with it for a few hours. Am I really glad I checked the back of this amp before plugging it in! The sliders were set to 220V and not 110V. After searching for drivers I managed to get it working well with Foobar via Windows 10...- Ramrod152001

DX200=Affordable High End Audio. Dual ES9028Pro dacs. AMP1, AMP3, AMP5, AMP7 & AMP8 ***Firmware support now up for AMP9***
What would be truly amazing would be to add the ability to install Dolby Atmos apk into it. This effect is really profound on the Galaxy Note 9. One of the modes simulates binaural stereo so well on older less complex stereo tracks. It also converts multichannel music into really convincing...- Ramrod152001
