Questyle CMA18P DAC/Amp - Excellent - Verified by HiFiLoop
The Audiophile's Hook
Questyle CMA18P is a portable “current-mode engine” built to bring desktop-grade authority into your pocket: fast transients, confident drive, and a clean, natural tonality that stays composed as your headphones get tougher. This is an Excellent (98% new) full-set unit with the leather case—high performance, high value, and verified by HiFiLoop.
Condition Report (The Truth)
Excellent / Well-Cared For: Very clean overall, lightly used, and handled with care. Minor signs of use may exist under close inspection.
- No obvious cosmetic defects observed.
Mandatory: The device has passed all functional tests.
Sonic Signature & Pairing
CMA18P’s signature leans “clean and controlled” rather than boosted or colored—quick transients, strong macrodynamics, and a cohesive stage that keeps images dense and stable. If you want a portable DAC/amp that feels more like a scaled-down desktop rig (instead of a typical dongle), this is the move.
To unleash the full potential of this device, we recommend pairing it with gear from our Headphones Collection.
