Gustard X30 disappointment

Is the unit back in your possession? 

I returned it for a refund. Thinking about an R30, schiit byygy or a used terminator, have not decided yet

OP,

Good move.

Any interest in the SCHIIT YGGY+ LIM DAC?   I own this DAC and like it very much. 

Schiit is working on a new DAC named the BYGGY. The BYGGY uses a bespoke delta-sigma architecture, not the traditional Schiit True Multibit approach. The delta-sigma modulator is custom-designed by Schiit, running at 6MHz with 7-bit depth, and implemented via FPGA.  They have not announced a delivery date.   

Unlike standard delta-sigma DACs that use off-the-shelf chips, Schiit’s design is based on their own closed-form mathematical models and implemented in-house, allowing for complete control over the digital-to-analog process and noise shaping.
