Nowdays I prefer the features more than having 10-15% better sound.For me eq crossfeed and bass boost make the difference except if you have the 🎧 with the perfect frequency response graph..
Hi Pulkit, according to your memory how does it compare it against hiby r6 pro ii ? They are on same price range.. Also, can this beat higher end DAPs like dx320 or abov in sound quality.
Hello my friend. Is it musical or analytical? Is it neutral dark or more neutral bright? How much power does it have? Any trouble with hard to drive over ears? Thank you again. All the best from Italy 🇮🇹
Hello friend, Sorry for my late reply here had some family emergency so was disappeared. It is mostly neutral and slightly analytical. Power is quite decent and can drive HD600 with ease. A friend of mine is also using HD800 with it.
Thanks for the early review Pulkit. How is the sound quality on the Bluetooth? did you ever felt like wanting to get back to USB when you used Bluetooth
was waiting frot this review from last few days, you are the only one to have reviewed it, good job, was lookig to see how it stacks up to the competetion such as SHANLING - H7, FIIO - Q7 and IFI AUDIO - XDSD GRYPHON, any comaprisons ?
Not at all man, over the past week i have listened to it almost daily and also compared it with a bunch of devices including iFi Gryphon, Quloos MUB1, and i am just happy with my purchase on the CMA18P.
@@wyles8961 I sent this to a friend of mine for audition(he owns the Mojo 2). He preferred the sound of CMA18P, but yeah cost played a factor for him, and he couldn't invest right now for a new source so.
Thank You!! Battery life is decent, I get around 8 hours while using in USB+BT mode. Sometimes using USB, sometimes using BT. Charging is a bit slow, it takes about 2-3 hours to charge using 5V 2A adapter.
Cool video mate, How does the sound compare to the QP1R and 2R? Also someone mentioned this gets very hot, have you found this to be the case? Enjoy your music.
Haven't got a chance to audition that. But It's more of a entry-level device and this is more of a mid-fi to high-end device. Yeah the DAC chip might be the same but the Current Mode Amplification of Questyle is a blessing.
Straight to the point bra, which wins.. This or m15?.. And my extincted old skol Q5S TC way better n cuter bra Even 2024 now.. Salute Fiio old skol.. Welcome iem audiophiles noobs.. Futures.. Try vacuum tubes bra.. Its a long journey bra welcome2.. Peace!
Another noobs.. Bal wutz bra?.. Im influencin' the reviewer to the next step.. Frm DeltaSigma to elec tubes.. N u talkin'.. Bal??.. bal my a.. Suh2 go away.. Peace2!
this thing is complete crap for so much money if it was $200 then yes but considering that you can get FiiO Q15 for $400 there's just no comparison and you can also go for Tempotec v3 which is a small Non Android Dap with even more features and power for $200 or Hiby R3 II same as v3 but instead of AKM dacs it has ESS dacs Hell you can buy Tempotec v3 or Hiby R3 II and FiiO Q15 for $600 and still have $100 left this thing is a JOKE
Hello friend, i have tried Q15 courtesy of a friend and the sound quality of CMA18P is on next level. I will see if i could borrow my friend's unit and will share some comparison in final review video.

Wish you had shown the right side of the device and the top of the device. Even if there are no buttons there it would have been nice to see.

Bass boost and crossfeed functions are there on Gryphon i guess(xBass i am sure, EQ i am not sure).
Which is your favourite source in today's market?
Absolutely agree, if they've included inner PEQ would grab that in a millisecond !
Hi Pulkit, according to your memory how does it compare it against hiby r6 pro ii ? They are on same price range..
Also, can this beat higher end DAPs like dx320 or abov in sound quality.
It has better details than the R6 Pro ii and better depth as well. Stage of R6 Pro ii was wider. No it can't beat DX320 bro.
Thank you for the review? Any chance of comparison with the iDSD Gryphon in the actual review?
Hi friend, sorry for the late reply due to some emergency i was away from my channel. Yes bro definitely with Gryphon and MUB1.

Yes, bro always USB is obviously better. But not something like Shanling EC Mini where I hate the BT input hehe.

Will try to arrange those mentioned products and share an indepth comparison in final review
@@gadgetgenerationspulkit thank you
Now that you’ve had it for a bit, how is it? Has your view changed at all?
Not at all man, over the past week i have listened to it almost daily and also compared it with a bunch of devices including iFi Gryphon, Quloos MUB1, and i am just happy with my purchase on the CMA18P.
@@gadgetgenerationspulkit great to hear. Thanks for the reply. Trying to decide between this and the mojo 2

Great video man. Just want to know how much is the Battery Life that you are getting on this device? and how fast is the charging?
Thank You!! Battery life is decent, I get around 8 hours while using in USB+BT mode. Sometimes using USB, sometimes using BT. Charging is a bit slow, it takes about 2-3 hours to charge using 5V 2A adapter.
Cool video mate,
How does the sound compare to the QP1R and 2R?
Also someone mentioned this gets very hot, have you found this to be the case?
Enjoy your music.
Thanks man,
Qp2r has more bass, this is more neutralish, and yes it gets a little hot, won’t call it very hot though.
Great video, i just found out about this and I want it 😭🤤. Lol. Hmmm they should make a magsafe case for this just like KHADAS Tea dac/amp.
I have a leather case but yeah, the more the merrier.
How will it compare to the audio quality of colorfly cda m1p?
Haven't got a chance to audition that. But It's more of a entry-level device and this is more of a mid-fi to high-end device. Yeah the DAC chip might be the same but the Current Mode Amplification of Questyle is a blessing.
@@gadgetgenerationspulkit thank you ji
There is a case available for this unit.
You can make voice calls ??
It doesn't have microphone.
did you experience any hiss problems?
In BT mode when music is not playing then yes.
Can you recommend best soundstage iem under 15000 rs
Hey man, try out the Hidizs MP145.
Great video but I struggled to hear you over the loud background music. Can you just have it for your intro in future please? 🙏
Thanks for your kind suggestions, yes i am
Also planning to do the same. Will only limit it to the intro and other b roll sessions.
