It is a state-of-the-art technology in audio amplification, leading to tremendous performance differences when compared to traditional audio amplifiers. As the “engine” of the audio system, Current Mode Amplification features a fully discrete and topological structure, and can achieve ultra-high sound performance that reproduces music so faithfully, it feels like you are in the original recording room. Using Current Mode Amplification technology, listeners can attain a much better listening experience, even when using consumer-grade headphones and speaker systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 3 years of pre-research with ESS, Questyle selected the flagship DAC ES9038PRO, a decoding chip with the most powerful performance of any DAC invented to date, and jointly launched CMA Fifteen with ESS, supporting 32bit\/768K and DSD 512 master band formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/15_front_2048x2048.jpg?v=1639520004\" alt=\"Questyle CMA Fifteen\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurrent Mode Amplification Meets Current mode DAC=Current Mode²\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo chase extreme performance, almost all high-end DAC chips from world-renowned manufacturers feature current-type output, which in most traditional amplifiers, is then coupled with an IV converter and classical amplifier architecture. But we at Questyle wondered: if the DAC’s output is already current-type, why don’t we also amplify that signal in current-mode? And that’s exactly what we did in the CMA Fifteen: we use the ES9038PRO current-mode DAC, and couple that to four Current Mode Amplifiers, which together operate in fully balanced mode to achieve “system-level lossless” purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCMA Fifteen supports MQA full decoding\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMQA is an award-winning British technology that delivers the sound of the original master recording.

The CMA Fifteen continues the classic design concept and perfect manufacturing technology of its previous lines of products, while further improving on all the details. Resonance, for example, is always a detail that could easily be ignored in the design process. However, mechanical vibration does indeed affect audio signal processing and the resulting sound. To avoid this resonance, the CMA Fifteen chassis is formed from 10mm-thick aircraft-grade Aluminum 6063, with precise machining tolerances of ±0.02mm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Questyle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39670972874827,"sku":"CMA15","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/products\/Questyle-CMA-Fifteen-DAC-and-Headphone-Amplifier.jpg?v=1639600795"},{"product_id":"chord-electronics-mojo-2","title":"Chord Electronics Mojo 2 | Portable Headphone DAC + Amp","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/chord-mojo2-logo-combined.jpg?v=1682353501\" alt=\"Chord Electronics and Mojo 2 logo\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80%;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Chord Mojo 2 Redefines its Legendary Status Over the Original Mojo with Incredible Portable Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChord FPGA DAC technology in your pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in DSP advanced EQ adjustment for personal taste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 5.2V of power let's you drive a variety of headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncredibly low noise floor and black background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed USB-C input, (x2) 3.5mm headphone outputs, and improved battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck out \u003ca title=\"ddHiFi DJ44MOJO 4.4mm Ground Pin Adapter\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/ddhifi-dj44mojo-4-4\"\u003eddHiFi's exclusive 4.4mm adapter\u003c\/a\u003e and Chord's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/products\/mojo-2-premium-leather-case\" title=\"Chord Mojo 2 Premium Leather Case\"\u003egenuine premium leather case\u003c\/a\u003e for the Mojo 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable bgcolor=\"”#f6f6f6”\" width=\"90%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #a30e0b;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom's Take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Mojo revolutionized personal audio, delivering astonishing performance and sound from such a small footprint.

But, while the GO blu majors on the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity to mobile devices like smartphones, the GO bar connects to source devices via USB and focuses on pure performance.
