Thanks Fred for the update on those cables. I'll probably order the 2.1 too. Can't wait for the gustard to be back in stock. Orders are not possible on shenzhen, aliexpress and amazon.

hmm I wonder if that is why I am having issues with my second order from Shenzhen. I placed an order for my Second U16 on Jan 6. Their website says that it was shipped via DHL Express on Jan 9, however the tracking number still does not work 4 days later. usually it only takes a day or two to show up in the system.
I have a ticket in with Shenzhen that i submitted today but no answer yet.
I am starting to get frustrated. the first order went perfectly smooth, no duty or import fees either. Im really hoping they just messed up the tracking number input..... hope im not out $400 cdn... that would suck!

Just got an answer from Shenzhen, see below, hopefully they hold up to their word.

"Dear Darren, Thanks for your message. The tracking information may be delayed. We will track the status with courier company when we go back work tomorrow. Please don't worry about it. If it still has no any updated information within one week,we will resend a new one to you. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards!"

Flip left & right channels.

Really?! But it seems to be a reasonable option to implement. I will try it out. Thanks

Same issue here with waiting for my new U16 that I ordered about 2-3 weeks ago... I got the DHL tracking number, but no shipping updates as of yet, and it’s been over a week or so since I got the tracking info.

I got a good deal on mine on ebay but will pay the price with shipping (speedPak). I ordered on 12/21/18 and I'm guessing I have two more weeks to go, lucky it's in the states now.

Seems they ship faster, than produce

Thanks, reassuring to know that I am not the only one with this issue.

What I ordered in late December & it still shows processing & not shipped from Shenzhen. Why did you get yours shipped before mine.

well it doesn't seem like mine is actually shipped yet anyways. maybe try opening a ticket and see what they say? the other option would be to cancel the order and order one through ebay.

Me too, marked shipped by Shenzhen Audio but DHL hasn't received anything. Ordered 1/1.

It looks like Gustard can't fully satisfy market demand Well, with this SQ and price is just the best device on the market..

Thankfully for Holo I2S configuration, ver 1.58/1.61 work fine, so no qualms there.

After marathon tussle with Jplay Trial activation, I finally see the light. This is unbelievable - how a software can unlock so much potential from same hardware.
Using Jplay with KS at 5Hz link is pure bliss even on my modified Topping D50 (with OPA 2209) and just K712 Pro.
I am yet to check it with Spring and my better headphones.
I am definitely getting a license for JPlay!

So now I am having second thoughts about Jplay.
Currently on linux kernel-lowlatency v 4.18 with ALSA direct access at 192 ~ 256 samples from DeadBeef. Definitely sounds better than Jplay. No need to compare with crappy Thesycon USB drivers.
Next steps will be to compile pre-emptive aka Realtime kernel, install mpd. That should settle down in to a high performance audio server for my U-16.

Funny thing is with low latency kernel + ALSA direct, even direct USB connection to DACs sound so much better!

Does this work with Audio GD Master 7??

I have not used such an DDC before. what should i be aware of before making the purchase?
Can i just use a regular HDMI cable to connect my dac to this U16?
