Hey everyone,

@OspreyAndy just posted a very well-thought and thorough review of the M15 on HeadFi, just wanted to share it with all of you who are still thinking about the M15

https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/qu...phone-amp-with-dac.25804/reviews#review-28443

Thank you @OspreyAndy for all the effort you put into this!

Nice review!

@Questyle Super off of me that I did not notice that the M15 itself doesn't have volume control. I'm use to 100% digital volume out to my DAC/Amps and adjusting the volume there as oppose to adjusting the digital volume at the source. As far as I know conventional wisdom has been to do that rather than adjust on the source, does that cause any issues on the M15s resultant output, and if not, are there any details you can provide on the implementation?

 

[Questyle]

@KuroKitsu Good question indeed, let me double confirm with the engineers and get back to you.

Is the Questyle M15 officially out? I saw it as "pre-order" on the site https://questyleshop.com/products/m15.

When will it be ready to ship?

It's ready to ship now! Don't worry.

The reason for the "pre-order" wording: the first batch of the M15 sold out, so the button changed to "pre-order"... however, just today the second batch of M15s just arrived in our warehouse. You can go ahead and order, no problem. The wording on that button will be updated soon.

My local dealer just announced the M15 will arrive in June, so can I still request a leather case in June?

 

[7onyMustDive]

Thanks for the info! Though I just realized that you guys don't ship to the US from the official webstore.

 

[RestrictedPocket]

Just placed my order from the Questyle shop. Hopefully I'll get the leather case as well. How long does standard shipping usually take?

Also, what's the output impedance on 3.5/4.4?

@ducnsh

Don't worry, if your local dealer only gets the M15 in June or later, we will still take care of you Just send us an email to info@questyle.com and we'll take it from there.

That's correct, we still don't ship directly from Questyle Shop to the USA directly at the moment. Bluebird is our official distributor in the USA, and they will have M15s in stock very soon. They are currently in the middle of customs, but they will be available for purchase from Bluebird very soon.

@RestrictedPocket

It's hard to quote a precise shipping time these days, with so many variables involved. So far in our experience, almost all of the packages shipped across the world have arrived in 2 weeks or less. Thanks for your patience here.

The output impedance:
3.5mm: 0.96 ohm
4.4mm: 1.22 ohm

Any comparison to the L&P W2 yet?

I am currently listening to the M15 with my S22 Ultra and it is driving the Kennerton GH 50 like a champ. Excellent sound quality without coloring the music. The M15 depends on the IEMs or HPs to provide the color. I do detect a bit of forwardness, but not enough to create congestion. There is plenty of air. I have utilized the M15 as DAC on my desktop with Foobar and also had excellent results.

Volume controls would be a nice addition. Word of caution, make sure to check the volume on your source before firing up your music.

More to come...

For my North American folks. Audio46 is taking preorders for the questyle m15, and I think bloom audio might actually have some in stock.

Edit: I guess they’re in stock at audio46 now too

I'm surprised that it reached me less than 24 hours after being shipped out. Especially since it was the free shipping option.

The transparent glass took me by surprise. Not that I wasn't aware of it, but seeing it in the flesh was definitely something else.

 

[Questyle]

@RestrictedPocket Glad it was a nice surprise for you Same for me, the first time I saw the sample of the product a number of months back, I was really shocked. It has a very special kind of beauty to it, I think. Happy you like it!

Out of curiosity, where did you end up ordering from?

Where did you get the red case from?
