Can the Gustard DAC-X20 Pro really play DSD 512?

Hi Everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone here as experience playing 512 DSD on the Gustard DAC-X20 Pro. According to the owner's manual, it should be capable of 512 DSD via the i2s input.

I am able to play DSD 512 (upsampling via Roon) from my system into my Matrix X-Sabre Pro via it's USB input, with no problem. I can play DSD 512 via my upgraded Singxer SU-1 into the Matrix X-Sabre Pro with i2s with no problem as well.

When I try using the same Singxer SU-1 via i2s into my Gustard, it doesn't know what to do with the 512 DSD signal. I borrowed my friend's Gustard thinking that the problem was with my hardware, and his cannot handle the 512 DSD either. I have no problem with the Gustard playing 256 DSD.

Has anyone here actually fed 512 DSD successfully into their Gustard DAC's themselves?

Thanks in advance!
