Gustard S26
Custom-Developed Motherboard for Pure Audio
At the heart of the S26 lies a self-developed X86 motherboard, meticulously optimized for Hi-Fi applications. By eliminating unnecessary hardware components and fine-tuning the BIOS, power supply, thermal design, and vibration control, Gustard has significantly lowered the motherboard’s noise floor. The result is a noticeable improvement in audio resolution, detail retrieval, and musical expressiveness.
Powered by AMD Ryzen™ 5 5600U
Equipped with a 6-core/12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5600U processor built on the advanced Zen 3 architecture, the S26 delivers a base clock of 2.3GHz and boosts up to 4.2GHz. Manufactured using a 7nm process and operating at just 10W TDP, it offers outstanding power efficiency and silent, low-temperature stability—ideal for continuous audio playback.
Integrated CelPlayer Music OS
The S26 runs on the CelWare operating system, featuring CelPlayer: an integrated music management and playback system built around in-memory streaming and memory-direct hardware writing. This architecture minimizes latency and elevates sound quality with fast, clean signal handling.
Advanced Passive Cooling System
To eliminate fan noise and electromagnetic interference common in conventional PC hardware, the S26 uses a liquid-cooled copper pipe and chassis-integrated passive cooling solution. This design ensures superior thermal stability and protects audio purity by minimizing vibrations and airflow distortion.
Stable, Reliable Connectivity
The S26 replaces traditional PCIe connectors with flexible flat cables to reduce vibration transfer and improve long-term connection integrity—critical for consistent performance and signal stability.
High-Performance Storage
A built-in 1TB ZhiTai TiPlus5000 SSD—featuring Yangtze Memory’s third-gen TLC 3D NAND and Xtacking 2.0 technology—delivers high-speed I/O (up to 1600 MT/s), low latency, and exceptional endurance. An additional M.2 NVMe expansion slot supports PCIe 3.0 x4 2280 SSDs up to 4TB (sold separately), making the S26 ready for large local libraries.
Discrete Linear Power Architecture
Designed for serious audiophiles, the S26 uses multiple isolated linear power supply partitions paired with ultra-low-noise LDO regulators. Each zone supplies stable, clean power with noise levels under 5μV and current up to 2000mA, minimizing cross-interference and ensuring each component operates at its best.
Precision Clock System with GCLK-02
The S26’s global clock synchronization system ensures low-jitter, highly stable operation across all digital interfaces, including PCIe, USB, and LAN. The GCLK-02 clock module leverages PLL technology for 1Hz-level locking precision. An external 10MHz clock input (BNC) is supported for users who demand the utmost in clock fidelity.
Ultra-Clean USB and Digital Outputs
All external interfaces, including the dedicated USB 2.0 port for external DACs and digital audio outputs, utilize linear power supply and PCIe transmission to suppress power noise and signal interference—preserving the integrity of the audio signal.
120VA Audio-Grade Transformer
At its core is a custom-built 120VA hermetically sealed transformer. Crafted with seamless magnetic cores and oxygen-free copper winding, it delivers ultra-clean power and effectively blocks electromagnetic interference, ensuring optimal audio performance.
