The Ultimate Digital Bridge

The Gustard U26 is a precision USB Digital-to-Digital Converter (DDC) co-developed by Gustard and Amanero. Equipped with a deeply customized ARM Cortex-M7 processor (IMXRT1011), it delivers powerful real-time processing, ultra-low latency, and stable high-sample-rate signal transmission, making it the perfect bridge for high-end audio systems.

Full-Format High-Resolution Audio Support

Supporting PCM up to 1536kHz/32-bit and DSD up to DSD2048 (Native) or DSD512 (DoP), the U26 handles all audio formats from CD-quality to studio-grade ultra-high-resolution files. Audiophiles can enjoy pristine sound reproduction with unmatched detail, clarity, and dynamic range.

Professional Interface & Cross-Platform Compatibility

The USB 2.0 high-speed interface provides plug-and-play compatibility across Mac, Windows, Linux, and mobile devices (OTG-supported), with optional ASIO drivers for low-latency performance. The U26 also offers flexible digital outputs via Coaxial, Optical, AES (XLR), and I²S over HDMI, supporting seamless integration into any professional or home audio setup.

Advanced Clock and Power System

Featuring an OCXO core clock with K2 PLL technology, the U26 generates dual low-phase-noise clocks for precise timing, effectively reducing jitter. Its multi-stage, fully isolated power architecture—including discrete regulators, linear power supply, and toroidal transformer—ensures ultra-clean power delivery for the purest audio reproduction.

Custom Drivers and Tuning Potential

With Amanero’s exclusive 32-bit USB Audio driver, users can finely tune latency, buffering, and clock alignment. This enables subtle optimization of resolution, dynamic range, and sound character to match the preferences of audiophiles and professional engineers alike.

Robust and Elegant Design

Encased in a full aluminum alloy chassis, the U26 combines electromagnetic shielding with structural integrity, protecting sensitive circuitry while maintaining a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that fits seamlessly into high-end audio setups.
