Questyle Introduces M12 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphone Amplifier With ESS Sabre DAC

July 30 2021, 01:10
Questyle Technology, the renowned manufacturer of high-quality DACs, headphone amplifiers, and Current Mode Amplification systems, now announced their new M12 Mobile Hi-Fi Headphone Amplifier with DAC. With the compact M12 USB-C DAC, the company allows mobile phone listeners to enjoy the best of lossless and high-resolution audio streaming platforms, using the ESS Sabre32 ES9281AC flagship digital-to-analog converter.
 

"Questyle and ESS’s team spent two years developing the mobile headphone amplifier with DAC and it performs better than even expected. The logo of both Questyle and ESS are placed on M12 in order to mark the first cooperation between the two companies. Whether it is the richness of female vocals, the deepest bass sound of an organ in European cathedrals or the strongest bass and guitar melodies in hard rock, the M12 will always be able to capture the details buried deep in soundtracks,” says Jason Wang, Founder of Questyle Audio.
    
The M12 uses Questyle’s patented “Current Mode Amplification” technology to become a powerful headphone amplifier. Benefiting from a self-developed SiP Current Mode Amplifier module, the M12 is free from the power limitations of mobile phone amplifier chips, and instead provides an ultra-low distortion level of 0.0003%, an ultra-high current output power, and excellent sound control. In short, it will fully enhance the full potential of quality headphones and high-resolution music sources, up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256. The M12 also includes MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) Renderer technology, which can connect to an MQA Core signal and deliver the final unfolding of the MQA file.
 

When plugged into a pair of headphones, the Questyle M12’s built-in smart detection system will automatically detect and self-adjust to fit the headphone’s impedance, instantly providing optimized dynamic performance. This detection circuit self-adjusts the output power from low gain, high gain or 2Vrms line out, to fit different headphones from 16 to 600 ohms.
 
Questyle’s M12 is fully compatible with Android 5.1 and above systems for smartphones and tablets. It also supports Mac OS and Windows 10 version 18.3 and above with no additional driver installation required. The Questyle M12 is available in Classic Black and Stylish Silver and retails for $139.99 USD.
