QUESTYLE CMA Eighteen Master is a flagship DAC and headphone amplifier.
Since the debut of the first CMA model, every Questyle flagship has had one thing in common: current-mode amplification technology. The CMA Fifteen, released in 2020, introduced the flagship ESS Current mode DAC for the first time. Combined with Current Mode Amplification technology, it has enabled the CMA series to usher in a new era of full current processing, essentially “lossless throughout the circuit.”
3 years ago, CMA Fifteen was almost perfect, but Questyle sought to improve it. Over the past 3 years, they have continuously improved, researched and sought out the best designs, bringing you their latest flagship: the CMA Eighteen Master.
The CMA Eighteen Master is equipped with an upgraded XMOS XU316 USB platform, supporting DAC conversion up to PCM768@32Bit/DSD512. In addition, the device supports USB-B and USB-C interfaces.
The CMA Eighteen Master’s Bluetooth mode has been updated to support aptX-HD and LDAC, providing optimal audio quality and wireless connectivity.
