Gustard H16 Balanced Headphone Amplifier

Roll over image to zoom in Click on image to zoom

Clean amplification with ultra-low distortion
Fully-balanced architecture
Ultra-low output impedance
Massive output power

The Gustard H16 Amp follows hot on the heels of the Gustard X16 DAC, a DAC which implements the world’s first DAC chipset with an in-built MQA renderer. The X16 has been turning heads with its best-in-class SINAD rating. Every DAC needs an amp, and the H16 can be thought of as the X16’s partner in crime. It offers massive power without contributing noise or distortion.

The H16 uses a fully balanced architecture, making it perfect for anyone looking to power balanced headphones (especially power-hungry ones). With four outputs, three of which are balanced, it can accommodate an array of listening scenarios.

Massive output power

If you’re wondering if the H16 can drive your headphones, the answer is almost definitely yes. It delivers huge amounts of power at any impedance: 3700mW @ 64Ω, 2268mW @ 150Ω, 1133mW @ 300Ω, and 566mW @ 600Ω.

Clean amplification with ultra-low distortion

Gustard designed the H16 to pair with the X16 DAC. An ultra-clean DAC deserves an ultra-clean amp, and that’s exactly what they’ve provided.

The H16’s signal-to-noise ratio is over 118dB, meaning that you’d have to crank it to dangerously high levels to hear any hiss or other unwanted noise. To put that number in perspective, the loudness of a jackhammer is 110dB, an ambulance 120dB. So in any normal, healthy listening scenario, you’re going to hear nothing but pure signal.

Excellent Amplifier

It's not often you come across products which may not be hyped, but surprises you with class-leading performance, and competes with products which are 3x its price. Gustard H16 is one such item, which can be considered to be a great headphone amplifier irrespective of the price bracket. This has a unique presentation, as it does not push the sound frequencies too much. At the same time, its neither mellow or dark, and is fairly neutral, just portraying the tonality of the DAC feeding this. Although not bass heavy, this provides a good and clean bass impact depending on the DAC. H16 sounds magical when driven from Ifi XDSD Gryphon variable (balanced) line out (through 4.4 to dual xlr cable). The vocals sound sweet and textured and there is great synergy with something like Hifiman Arya in this set-up. Other great benefits are - perfect channel matching through its relay controlled digital volume, useability with iems (recommended with 30 ohms or higher), remote control for convenience and so on. All in all this is a highly recommended buy. Thanks a lot for Pritam from TAS for providing a very competitive pricing for brand new authentic products.

Gustaki maaf!

Got the Gustard H16 a few days back. Have to thank pritam for personally handing over the amp. As of now, burn in of the amp is in progress as around 50 hours minimum burn in is recommended for it. The amp packs quite a bit of power and sounds very clean and open so far.

Nice and good looking cables

Got these after I ruined the cables for my Truthear Nova. Definitely better than the stock cable and the mic quality in my testing was pretty clear as well.

Avnish Chaubey

For the price, it's really a great product. The best part is that, many high end DACs do not allow the use of earphone/headphone's mic and inline remote but this one does. I am extremely happy with the product. Thanks a lot for such an awesome product. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Rochishnu Das

Meaty Bass

I absolutely fell in love with this IEM. This is an IEM that made me rethink what correct/natural should sound like. This one has a lot of bass which is good and bad depending on the tracks that you are listening to. The mid range is tonally correct. And the treble is very interesting. Interesting in the sense that there is not much lower treble or mid but there is noticeable amount air and upper treble presence which makes this non fatiguing and also helps percussion instruments cut through the bass. I really love the presentation. The only part where this IEM falls apart is in complex tracks. There it gets a bit jumbled up. And one thing is that you have to play them at higher than normal volumes to truly enjoy them and open up the vocals and treble otherwise they do sound muddy. They scale very very well with volume

Best for this price

It's a 6 star out of 5 star. Just don't look at anything else. Earaudio cables are best. It's neautral and clean and slightly warm because of copper.

My first IEM - Loved it

It feels like i am hearing the songs for the first time. My first IEM and I am very happy with the sound. Perfect bass, not as much as you get in regular headphones which ruins the song.
