I got the GUSTARD U12 ...

 

My impression was that the Gustard U12 is a digital interface - unless you have a different model from this one, you need an additional DAC to connect between the Gustard U12 and your analogue system.

If you wanted a DAC, then you bought the wrong device.

 

DACs have a built-in USB interface.

 

The Gustard is a seperate USB interface for those who want to improve the USB connection to their DAC or who have an older DAC without USB connection. It has a USB input and S/PDIF, AES/EBU and IIS outputs (all digital). No analogue output.

best way to connect is via a Gustard X12 dac using i2s over hdmi from u12 to x12 and then balanced out to the amp, that's what I use.
