And in the bunch with Gustard X16 DAC, it is simply shocking and fascinating. With X16 it’s definitely one of the best audiophile headphone systems under $1,000 today in our opinion. Of the competitors H16, the closest thing that comes to mind is the old well-known Topping A90, but it is $100 more expensive and does not give similar impressions as Gustard H16. Probably, we would like to see in the Gustard H16 the possibility of replaceable opamp which would make the device incredibly versatile. However, even in this combination, it just has no competitors in the current price range. Absolutely deservedly added to ★ “Our choice”. Five stars."
