Unfortunally it seems Gustard does NOT take further development or even fixing existing issues seriously at all!
More than 3 month ago I had an email exchange with Gustard support. They asked me, if I could do some testing and I investested some time and did it:

Since then, silence.... No further reaction, no answer, no firmware, nothing...
This is quite unprofessional and this is the image I (and other) have from Gustard brand.
I'm tired of the unreliable nature of the U16.
Therefore some month ago a switched back to SU-1 (Magna edition) which works flawless and offers for me the same sound quality.
