Spot On! I had the M15 for around a year now and my experience to be the same as what you've mentioned. A little more separation & air would have been the icing on the cake.....but damn! it sounds Great, musical as hell, and I can listen to it for LONG periods. Worth auditioning if You can😇
It confuses me as to why you think you're reviewing the DAC when all you're describing is the characteristics of the amp. A DAC has veeery little influence on how stuff sounds. Basically, any basic modern DAC is indistinguishable from another. A DACs finest job is to translate coordinates to sinewave as close to "true" as possible. We're talking within
@@arandomchannel1614 I'm talking about an audio interfaces you plug speakers and a microphone into. I bring it up because many are considerably cheaper than this DAC and probably has a pretty good DAC's in em. You get mic pre amps and other inputs like for a record player as well. Can be found on the used market for under 100 but even new many are under 200. Many will have decent headphone amps and balance inputs in em to
yeah i was hella pissed and was not gonna redo it, sadge that my camera decided to bamboozle me In terms of which IEMs/headphones, I think if you're looking at anything in general it works quite well, any V-shaped that does not have too much treble emphasis Since this is a more analytical DAC hence IEMs that are more bright or "ACG" tuned are not gonna be too complementing with the M15, such as the Project M
I think its a good review. Covers a lot. Also brings in your subjective view. One thing I found missing was a mention if this would be good for certain iems or cans for example. Overall well done.
@cxmxc I've had the q5k for a few years now. It has outlasted all other devices I had bought over the years. It's intimidating at first because it was built by a nerds. But wouldn't trade it for another except for the mojo 2 in which they say it gives you more control over the frequency response but that device is around 500 here in America

Just a random comment for algorithm. Your content quality is great.
And for that I thank the cosmos for thee Cosmo57
Glad you enjoyed the video
I picked up the M12i for $80 on a deal of the day. The best dongle I have ever heard. Sounds so smooth and analog.
Glad you liked your purchase!

It can be both
yep.
I wonder how it compares to what's in consumer level audio interfaces
Apple Music is alright for it, cant seem to find any issues on my end (thou i listen to more offline files that I have when at home)

Wish you got the focus in for the peel, would’ve been delicious! But great vid 🙌 which earphone/headphone would you pair with this DAC, at minimum?

@@arandomchannel1614 what about something simple like the tangzu wan er?
@@mushi_koverkill for the wan’er. You’d be better off with something $100 or lower like an apple dongle.

Thanks for the comment and the feedback!
Will definitely include that if Im going to review a DAC the next time
@arandomchannel1614 this was a solid comment that i also came to make. Looking forward to that being added. Solid video.
hey, putting the name of the dac in the description or something would make it easier to look up
Questyle m15i
Great review! Check out the ONIX Alpha. Amazing value @ $109...
Hmmm no info in description so those of is whonwant one cant get one lol.

It's Questyle M15

@@SL-md5sm Ty I currently have a DOUK AMP/DAC that uses those glass tubes amazing for stationary systems but this could be sick for say Steam Deck
It’s overpriced. It’s not that great it’s clean it’s acceptable, I have it. Not worth the price.
So whats the better one in your opinion?
@@eboboboymojo 2
@@MrTwangstaable haha thats incomparable!
How does it stack up to the q 5k
I feel the q 5k is superior. I have both this dac is overpriced is not even that powerful

Yeah.
4:22 before you said what it is.. Nice review, I don't like ess dacs. Boring. Too analytical.
Cool.... But i can't believe you because you use Apple........ Oh... You use normal PC with Windows as well !? OK then :D
