Features 2 ES9039SPRO Flagship Chips For Hi-Res Decoding With Digital Filtering

Gustard X26III features 2 flagship decoding chips from ESS, the ES9039SPRO. Each channel utilises one ESS chip that results in a fully balanced architecture. It features multi-stage digital filtering with an Analog Device SHARC DSP platform, a high-performance digital filter program, anti-aliasing noise algorithms and high-precision floating-point 64-bit operations with frequency upscaling and noise shaping for enhanced audio. These DAC chips support high-resolution sampling rates up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512. The ESS DAC chip with an I/V- converter and independent parallel connection circuit converts the signal flow from DAC to an analogue voltage. This configuration enables the Gustard X26III to function smoothly and efficiently.

Equips ES9311Q For Multi-Group Independent Power Supply With Toroidal Transformers

Gustard X26III houses the ES9311Q regulator, a dedicated power supply that ensures ultra-low noise power regulation with high-quality audio output while reducing noise and offering a stable and clean power source for all components. It is equipped with 2 high-quality audio toroidal transformers for digital and multi power supply groups to offer power without interference. It also has an independent power supply with an independent grounding for an excellent performance of the Gustard X26III. 

XMOS XU216 Chip With Multiple Outputs & FPGA Programmable Logic Chip

The X26III equips the XMOS XU216 chip to deliver high-resolution audio output with low latency. It features an FPGA programmable logic chip with high-end components like self-constructed functions, clock management, 2nd PLL digital shaping, DOP demodulation and PCM/DSD depop switch. Gustard X26III embeds inputs for the clock, coaxial, AES, USB, LAN, optical, IIS-H, power supply, XLR right and left line out, and RCA left and right line out. With these multiple outputs, you can enjoy high-resolution audio. 

Discrete Class A Circuit For High Performance Of The X26III

The X26III embeds an analogue LPF circuit, a discrete Class A circuit specially designed for the ESS chips with hybrid IV parallel connections. It enables precise adjustments, better distortion control, and diverse sound profiles for decoding architectures. The Discrete Class A circuits provide a warm, natural sound with low distortion and noise. Careful component selection ensures precise signal processing and enhances overall sound quality.

GLCK 02 Clock Module With DSP Digital Filtering & Network Streaming

Gustard X26III houses a Local clock source or external 10MHz clock signal synthesised with an excellent clock signal and precisely embedded for hi-res decoding. As the front-end clock is removed, its performance on the decoding link minimises the impact on the performance of the front-end audio equipment to reduce the degree of dependence. It features 4 DSD and 3 PCM filters while supporting NOS mode with a separate audio signal passing through the left-right channel for an excellent music listening experience. X26III supports bridge, network streaming ROON bridge, Airplay, UPnP and NAA.

Supported By Celaudio For Redefining the Audio Output

Gustard X26III is supported by Celaudio, an audio processing technology that diminishes the distortion caused by the hardware design and restores the audio to its original form. The Celaudio supports closing the useless bridge system while using playback applications and maximising the efficiency of the playback. It equips Celware 3. x music playback system with Linux kernel specially designed for music playback with hardware and software combinations. It minimises data forwarding delay and jitter while strengthening the audio playback capabilities and high-resolution audio.
