Gustard X20pro DAC (ES9028Pro)

IMO only against knobs are the holes from the top. If they turn them around 180 deg will be enough.
I like X20U style. But Holo Audio Spring looks more cool :wink:

  why not go for 9038 directly the ess flagship
ah20 use akm flagship 4497. i just wish they replace it with 9038pro that will make more buyer

Chip doesn't actually matters so much. Most important (and I'm counting on upgrade) is power supply quality and USB implementation.  
 
Currently I'm testing Singxer SU-1 with my X20U and this makes giant difference. This shows what really Gustard need to change in DAC. It is level up upgrade. Unbelievable!

The sound quality improvement.
When you change this...

 
To this...

 
It is really wort to try, but even if you buy blind you wont regret.
 
After few days of test I already ordered my own. For Gustard sound quality is level up upgrade. Definitely wort the money.
