DESCRIPTION

Designed to drive regular headphones seamlessly, the GUSTARD H16 comes with a 3-stage gain adjustment setting making it a perfect match for small earphones as well as big ones. While the GUSTARD H16 can easily drive balanced headphones, it also manages to get the best possible performance from single-ended high-impedance headphones as well.

Equipped with a pre-amplifier output and remote control, the H16 can be paired with active speakers to be used as a volume controller. With a separate design for balanced and single-ended, there is a range of unbalanced and balanced audio outputs to choose from like the 6.35mm, 3.5pro, 4.4 and XLR output.

Get rid of noise bias with matrix relay powered volume control, this ensures that the volume levels on both the right and the left are the same and free of noise. The use of Taiwan made mechanical decoder enables smooth, accurate and stable operation. It adopts a human-computer interaction system.

Be rest assured of linear power supply and high-quality audio with the in-built toroidal transformer. Adopting OPA1642 and OPA1678 to match impedance, the input buffer of the Gustard H16 is compatible and convenient for multiple front ends. The pre-amplification and drive circuit rely on the combination of LME49724+LME49722 for excellent performance.

Fabulous amplifier

For something half the price of the A90d, this amp performs like a champ. Sweet musical power, far better than my thx amp. Linear power with step ladder volume control. Add to that professional XLRs in and out which make it into a cool preamp with a remote. The remote functions like a champ and needs to be paired to the amp by pressing the amp button for 3 seconds. All in all its powering my HEDD headphones, the most power hungry headphones in my collection, beautifully. No complaints and hats off to Gustard

Hey there, thank you so much for the great review of the Gustard H16 amplifier! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying it. Happy listening!

H16 the entry into high end amplification

When I first listened to the amp initially it seemed mid forward and power starved with the Sundaras but as time progresses, with burn in its starting to show its true colours. Beautiful smooth analog and organic sound without any emphasis. It actually has the ability to make my cans vanish and let the pure music flow. Comparing with my Magni 3 plus, this sounds a touch more refined and spacious. A solid amp hopefully to last a long time I hope.

We're really happy that you have such great thoughts about the product and thanks for the amazing review!

Sweet and soulful sound .. a very fulfilling experience so far

Recently moved my LCD X headphones from the dragonfly cobalt to a Gustard H16 amp paired with the Allo Revolution Dac. Both are being fed by a Pi4 streamer as a Roon endpoint. The whole system has turned out to be such a musical, full of life and absolutely fatigue free listening experience. I have spent unplanned long hours into the night just wanting more of just this joy of listening, the LCD X are flowing, the gustard is definitely adding a lot of warmth and air, making these headphone open up to their best performance. Overall super satisfied with this purchase and thank you headphone zone for making this happen. Thrilled with the addition of this amp.
