Questyle M15 Headphone Amplifier Mobile Lossless DAC
Inspiration
In this complex world, we pursue simplicity.
The era of 5G has brought music streaming from smart devices fully into the
mainstream. As more and more music platforms launch lossless audio streaming
services, mobile hi-res audio has changed from a neat gimmick into a real and
growingly popular way to enjoy high-fidelity music. However, it’s often
impractical to use traditional HiFi audio equipment with your smartphone on-
the-go, due to size and power consumption. To solve this problem, the M15 was
born: it distills all of Questyle’s expertise and technologies into an
amazingly powerful yet compact mobile DAC & amp.
Don’t be fooled by its small size. The M15 offers uncompromising performance
and best-in-class fidelity, giving you the ultimate portable audio experience.
Welcome to the world of truly mobile HiFi.
Two independent CMA SiP modules Four total amplification circuits Greater dynamics, richer details
The M15 contains two of Questyle’s patented CMA (Current Mode Amplification) SiP modules, for a total of four CMA amp engines. This quadruple drive amplification circuitry gives an outstandingly strong output that can drive almost any headphone. Questyle’s Current Mode Amplifiers are characterized by their small footprint, low voltage operation, and minimal power consumption. Current amplification has a naturally low impedance, affording the M15 a bandwidth up to 1MHz, distortion as low as 0.0003%, and the ability to reproduce every detail hidden deep within any track.
3.5mm TRS / 4.4mm TRRS outputs Manual gain adjustment Compatible with even
more headphones
With its four CMA amp circuits, the M15 supports both unbalanced (3.5mm TRS)
and balanced (4.4mm TRRS) outputs. It also has manual gain adjustment via the
slider on the side, which makes it easy to choose high/low gain depending on
the connected headphone, speaker, or HiFi system.
Impossibly low noise floor Complete sonic immersion Purest sound, anytime,
anywhere
Only a black background can reflect rich color. With its incredibly low noise
floor, the M15 allows all the details of your music faithfully ring true. In
testing, the M15 was able to achieve a noise floor of -130dB.

Treat your senses to true lossless sound
When playing audio, the data status indicator will illuminate one of the following colors:
- Green: indicates the audio sample rate is 48kHz or less.
- Red: indicates hi-res lossless playback. (Hi-res lossless refers to PCM 88.2kHz~384 kHz, or DSD64~DSD256
- Magenta: indicates the M15 is performing the final unfold of an MQA Core stream.
