Questyle CMA18 Portable DAC with Headphone Amplifier
Oct 17, 2023 at 12:28 AM Post #46 of 392
I reached out to Questyle regarding the power output of the CMA18 and this was the reply I received: "The balanced output has a power of over 500mW. The single ended output is 170mW".
Page 1 of this thread says 2W per channel, Then on the Canjam socal thread someone who tried it said it was 1W. And now Questyle themselves are claiming 500mW. These numbers are all over the place 😂

2W/1W/0.5W... into what load?

M15 output about 80mw @32ohms and the qpm with the same cma modules output 161mw @32ohms, so 500mw seems more reasonable given that the 18p has an extra four diodes in the output stage.

I wish I had tried this, but unfortunately I only tried the full desktop version. I have the M15 and it's fine, although I still think it can improve. I wonder if the CMA18P is more of what I want.

One of the issues I have with the M15 is that it tends to pick up EMI.

Still awaiting news on this. I do a quick Google check every few days but so far not seen anything new. Hopefully some more impressions soon.

Hello there everyone,

I'm still going through this chat taking notes, but I'm not finished just yet... so no answers for the moment. 😞 I'll try to provide a complete response as soon as I can in the coming days. We announced this product a couple months ago but we are still finalizing the design, which is why the exact specifications have not yet been published. Bear with us, and I'll get you all as much information as I can as we cement it!

Well, the precise specs are still being reigned in and perfected, so nothing more to share yet guys. But I do have a sample in my hands at the moment and yes she is glorious
