Presenting the all-new Gustard R26II, the definitive evolution of the legendary R26. The DAC packs flagship-tier 26-bit R2R array technology derived from the flagship R30. It’s a complete revamp of the highly-acclaimed DAC with pure 1-Bit Native DSD support, advanced DSD2048 processing, upgraded GCLK-02 precision clock, and a dual-toroidal power supply design. Gustard R26II is a high-end Desktop solution for audiophiles who crave the organic, analog soul of R2R architecture but demand modern features such as streaming.

Pure 26-Bit R2R Architecture:-

Gustard R26II adopts a 26-bit R2R resistor network derived from the flagship R30 DAC in their lineup. This enables 4 times the resolution, resulting in a darker background, crispier details, better extensions, and an overall cleaner output. With this advanced R2R architecture, the R26II achieves a wide dynamic range exceeding 130dB.

Native 1-Bit DSD Audio Processing:-

Unlike standard DAC’s that convert DSD to PCM, the R26II is equipped with a dedicated DSD processor that processes true 1-bit DSD signals with full precision. In USB/LAN mode, we get support for native DSD512; in the advanced I2S mode, the R26II supports staggering DSD2048 signal processing. Get the best audio quality experience with the native 1-Bit DSD processing of Gustard R26II.

Ultra-Low Jitter Performance with Precision Clocking:-

Gustard R26II uses advanced PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) technology; the internal clock of the R26II has a locking accuracy within 1Hz. This would enable ultra-precise signal purity with next-level precision. For extreme enthusiasts, the R26II also has a 10MHz BNC input that allows for synchronization with an external master clock.

All-New Network Bridge:-

Gustard R26II utilizes a new network bridge developed in collaboration with CelAudio. It runs on an optimized Linux kernel that delivers significantly stable and prioritized streaming functions for ROON, AirPlay, UPnP, and Spotify. R26II can act as a dedicated streaming solution with high-end decoding capabilities.

Refined Power Deliver:-

The power supply of R26II is upgraded from the standard R26 with new dual toroidal transformer system. It is now upgraded with lower ESR premium capacitors that reduce the noise floor and enable a cleaner output. The output of R26II has a darker background where minute details pop out with great ease.

Advanced Bluetooth V5.1 Wireless Connectivity:-

Gustard R26II brings the goodness of advanced wireless Bluetooth connectivity for signal input. It supports Bluetooth V5.1 connectivity with LDAC protocol for wireless transmission, enabling 96kHz bitrate streaming.

Class-A Discrete Analog Stage:-

The Gustard R26II is an advanced high-end desktop solution with a fully-discrete Class A analog stage. It features a Class-A low-pass filter with zero Op-Amps in the signal path. This ensures pure, natural sound tone with a rich, organic character.
