Duster, I've had my Gustard X12 for over a year now and am quite pleased with it. It's a quality piece at a reasonable price and has all the bells and whistles that I could want. After testing the various connections I have settled on the following:
Mac Mini > Wyred 4 Sound Recovery > Gustard U12 USB/SPDIF converter HDMI to Gustard X12 DAC HDMI > RCA out to amp.
The X12, the Wyred 4 Sound Recovery and Duelund (speaker) cable have brought me to my sonic goal, and that is to hear as much of the music as possible. Of course the many tweaks and diy projects have all helped.

BTW, while I don't use the HDMI interface of the Gustard X12, if Supra's HDMI cable sounds anything like their Ethernet cable, I would highly recommend it. The Supra HDMI cable features 23 AWG solid core bare copper conductors with foamed polyethylene dielectric rather than run-of-the-mill HDMI cables better suited for video applications that tend to feature smaller gauge stranded tinned copper conductors with PVC dielectric.

I'm using a 0.3m WireWorld Chroma 7 Flat HDMI Cable between the U12 and X12. I also have diy SUPRA LoRad pc's connected to both. The pc's are extremely quite. The Supra HDMI looks to be a worthwhile investment. I'll be ordering one soon and will update you after burn in. Thank you!
I'm glad to know you are already using an audiophile-quality cable, and look forward to your upcoming report...
