What a fluff review

I'm sure it could be a great little dongle. I have the m12 and like it. I just have a problem with reviews that basically say nothing wrong with the product, just flowery words and praise. Also the comparisons are super weak, against non-contenders. It basically reads like an advertisement. Especially with all the pictures and flowery words - makes one wonder what the reviewers motivation is...

Like I said before, I’m not questioning the quality of the m15, rather the quality of review. Did you buy it or was it given to you in exchange for this review? Just seems like quite an in- depth review to just do spontaneously just cause you like it. All the pictures and glowing words

…and not a single con!

@Pirastro I'll chime in here real fast.
Yes, we sent a complementary unit to Asifur for review purposes. This is quite a common practice in the industry: reviewing takes time and effort, and giving a complementary unit is a way of expressing gratitude for that time and energy. But we do make it clear with every reviewer that we do not wish for fluffy, pure-praise reviews; we value honesty and transparency more than anything.
We tell all our reviewers:
"You have complete freedom to write your review whichever way you desire. We encourage you to share any impression you have, as long as it represents your true feeling and opinion toward the product. Your review does not necessarily need to be positive, it just needs to be honest."

Asifur has also reviewed our M12 in the past, in which he a bit more critical: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/questyle-m12.25266/reviews
He's also compared the M15 to other comparable dongles, for example in this post: https://www.facebook.com/groups/headfi.org/permalink/10160143803149736/
I can't speak for Asifur, but I do know through working with him that he has no vested interest or ulterior motives when he write reviews for us. And he also knows that we will continue working with him even if he writes a very critical review about one of our products. His reviews are thorough and he puts a lot of soul into them, and at the end of the day all of the reviews I've seen from Asifur really do express his true feelings and thoughts

@Elim Garak if you like the analogue R2R tonality go for RU6.
Otherwise, better to go with M15.
