![]() Minute details are pushed to the forefront, making it easier to analyze and dissect tracks. Rest assured, the amount of perceived details on the M15 eclipses any other dongle under USD$300. The first thing you notice is the resolution, and how easily the M15 delineates between instruments. That being said, the M15 has certain “characteristics” that shine through no matter which IEMs or headphones you connect on the other end. TONALITY AND TECHNICALITIESAs always, it’s difficult to simply talk about the “tonality” of a source gear rather than specific pairing notes. Just make sure to put the volume at max on the DAC side.Īll in all, respectable measured performance, except for the amp specifications which do not really add up to real world experience. You can connect the M15 to a pair of powered monitors in a pinch and use it as a DAC/pre-amp combo. Speaking of dynamic swings, the SE out can have almost 2Vrms voltage swing from the single-ended out, and about 3.8Vrms from the balanced out. The higher current from the USB ports enable greater dynamic swings. Only issue is that for best performance, you need to use a laptop as the source. The M15 can drive most dynamic driver headphones and nearly every single IEMs out there. ![]() In terms of the actual “sound pressure” produced, that indeed seems to be misleading. A measly 22mW into 300ohms? Surely that cannot be right? Then you notice the output power specs and things just do not add up. In terms of specs, you get a really respectable 0.0003% THD and <-130dB SNR. There is also a TOREX power management unit that keeps the M15 inactive when no music is playing.
