I've tried contacting Questyle as well with zero response. Just trying to figure out what the output impedance is of the XLR4. Something as simple as this should be listed in the specs. Seems like zero communication is standard for this company. Oh well.

Any other good DAC/amp combos out there I can look at? It's hard to find a nice one. So far, the only other option might be Matrix Element X. But it's $3K.

Questyle is indeed one of the worst company I have come across never respond to any question, they never pickup phone, I tried for 3 months my device was still in warranty and had problems now it is out of warranty, I gave up contacting them.

U could try the Aune S6pro.. almost blind bought that but couldnt audition first.
It has newer dac akm 4497 chip.

Nope. S6 Pro output impedance is 22ohm. Too high for headphones under 170ohms or so. S7 Pro is better at close to zero. But has no DAC. I asked Aune if they had plans to release a new S7 Pro with built-in DAC like the older S6 Pro and they said no.

Ive just measured it on my unit.
Its roughly 1.5 ohm on xlr

Weird. Q̶u̶e̶s̶t̶y̶l̶e̶ Aune told me via email it is 22ohms on the 6. Can you measure the 1/4" out? Maybe they gave me the wrong spec.

EDIT: Aune, not Questyle

SE is about 0.75 ohm.
These are ohms values(dc), not impedances

Guess youre mistaken aune with questyle
I measured on my CMA400i
That was your Q wasnt it?

The Aune S6 Pro's output impedance is 22ohms and the S7 Pro is almost zero. That is straight from Aune.

I'm talking about impedance. Not resistance. Two different things.

 

[Reactcore]

The impedance isnt far off in amps usually no more than 0.5ohms

Can these power the abyss 1266 phi ?

Guess they can. With my 300 ohm senns i rarely go beyond 12 o'clock b4 it gets too loud. If u want earsplitting levels better go for the CMA twelve.

So it finally happened. a truly amazing and praised dac/amp is forgotten and this thread died.

Pity

Well I am using it as my desktop AMP and still love it, But there is not much more to discover or discuss. It works and when it is broke Questyle don't answer requests for help

It has been serving me well since it was released and I have never had an issue with it. The thread is dead, long live the Amp
