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

Gustard X30 features Quad flagship decoding chips from ESS, the ES9039SPRO. Per channel utilises two ESS chips that result 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, DSD512 and MQA. The ESS DAC chip is aided by an I/V- converter and parallel connection circuit that converts the signal flow from DAC to an analogue voltage. This helps Gustard X30 to function smoothly and efficiently.

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

Gustard X30 houses the ES9311Q regulator, a multi-group energy-rich independent 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 analogue power supply and offers power independently without interference.

Embeds XMOS XU216 & FPGA Programmable Logic Chip With Multiple Outputs

The X30 equips the XMOS XU216 chip that delivers 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, PCM/DSD depop switch and other specially designed technologies. Gustard X30 embeds inputs for the clock, coaxial, AES, USB, LAN, optical, IIS, IIS-G, power supply, XLR right and left line out, RCA left and right line out and trigger in and out. With these multiple outputs, you can enjoy high-resolution audio. 

Discrete Class A Audio Circuit With IV Parallel Connections For Enhanced Performance

The X30 embeds an analogue LPF circuit, a discrete Class A circuit specially designed for the ESS chips with multiple IV parallel connections. This discrete circuit is flexible and allows it to be freely adjusted according to the parameter levels, unlike the integrated circuits. It features a built-in OCXO constant temperature crystal oscillator to maintain a steady temperature, minimising frequency variations caused by external temperature fluctuations. The high-performance circuit allows control of the distortion level and can give different decoding architectures for a great variability of the sound style while enhancing the device's performance. 

K2 Synthesizer For Accurate Audio With DSP Digital Filtering & Network Streaming

Gustard X30 houses a Local OCXO clock or external 10M clock synthesised with an excellent clock signal and precisely embedded for hi-res decoding. The front-end clock is discarded and 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. X30 supports bridge, network streaming ROON bridge, Airplay, UPnP and NAA.

Passive Analog Preamp Stage With Independent Voltage Stabilisation For Clean Audio

Gustard X30 equips a passive analogue preamp that allows the R2R relay volume adjustment without any loss in the sound performance and can skip the preamp through output. The X30 can be connected to an active studio monitor speaker or power amplifier with an effortless adjustment by the remote control. The independent voltage stabilisation stage and non-interference provide clean audio while minimising distortion. It also has an independent power supply with an independent grounding for an excellent performance of the Gustard X30. 

Supported By Celaudio For Redefining The Audio Output Of The X30

Gustard X30 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.
