Hi Mhztweaker,
As you see I am new here at Head-Fi and a new user using a DAC comp. Please, can you send me also the English manual & the latest driver (also if you have one for Win 10). I have another small request, can you tell me, if you already have this component, what are the correct settings I should make while connecting true USB Connection.
I would like to know that does it matter using high level cables ?, the USB and the RCA too?, And on which RCA connection should I join the Gustard X20u (CD, Tape-MD, DVR, BD, etc ?)
I would appreciate very much if anyone else can help me too.
Thanks very much for your help and answers

Good day
gmail will not allow drivers or any binaries to be sent at attachments. I have tried. This is clearly stated by Google as well.
You are better off using Google to find a download link:

As for a manual, I do not think I have one or have even looked at one. Honestly it pretty easy to figure out.
I am using the 3.2 driver but am about to try this new 3.34 driver

You have to add the item and pay 0.00 for it then follow the directions to the details in your order after you fill out tons of information to create an account.
It takes a minute or two but I was able to download this latest driver.
I do use decent cables but nothing really fancy..... yet...
I use the balanced XLR's out from the X20u into my Krell KRC-3 preamp. Right now I am using a pair these inexpensive XLR cables

I have purchased many sets of cables from this guy. He is honest and provides a good value product
I am also using some of his other RCA cables:
2 FT SILVER PLATED MIL-SPEC AUDIOPHILE INTERCONNECT FOR DIN AMPLIFIER RCA CABLE
4 FT SILVER PLATED MIL-SPEC AUDIOPHILE INTERCONNECT FOR DIN AMPLIFIER RCA CABLE.
3 Ft Pair Canare L4E6S Blue Star Quad RCA to RCA HIFI Audio Cable
I have also purchased cables from here:

...great people to deal with as well
I don't believe it matters much if you use any of the various inputs whether they are CD, BD, Aux with the exception of anything labeled PHONO, which may or may not have a phono preamp involved. Also keep in mind that Tape connections may (or NOT) involve a monitoring feature that when used with a 3-headed tape deck allows record monitoring as you record. (old school). You will see a pair of Tape In's and Tape Out's if this is the case.
I was using an iFi micro USB 3.0 until it burned out after I moved some equipment around this week. The dealer shipped me a new one which I will have in 24 hours.

I also ordered an Uptone Audio Regen as well to experiment with for cleaning up and reclocking the USB digital signal.
I hope some of this helps
