Double that of its multi-award winning transportable brother, Hugo 2 (49,152).

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.

It landed among the world’s first high-output MC cartridges and has become something of a staple among listeners across decades looking for a taste of moving coil sonics without the added expense of MC pre-amplification. While it will remain dear to the Sumiko family within their heritage lineup, they've got another ‘Point’ to make...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with the release of their Reference Celebration 40, Sumiko brings you Blue Point No. 3, another nod to their 40 years of cartridge development in the pursuit to enrich your listening experience.

First and foremost, Blue Point No. 3 assembles its sonic picture from the ground up with its oh-so buttery low-end response. Bass enthusiasts are in for a treat here. Full \u0026amp; warm yet defined \u0026amp; textured, the coziness of the bass will invite you right in. And you can expect the similar lushness through the mids that remain decipherable, high-frequency attack \u0026amp; decay that’s simply sweet \u0026amp; airy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHaving developed such a refinement on a classic design, introducing a low-output variant was a no-brainer.
