1)Current Mode Amplification
(Global PCT No.: PCT/CN2014/075775)

Questyle Audio’s Current Mode Audio Amplification features the use of transistors 
to amplify, with a disaggregate structure designed in, to wit: voltage input and 
output, while the core amplification takes place in the current domain operating in 
a pure class A state, and allowing the output stage (OPT) to be changed to either 
class A or AB. It is completely different from the traditional voltage mode amplifier, 
in the structure of the amplification circuit. Capacitance between the transistors, 
which affect the speed and bandwidth, operates at a very low impedance, and the 
full-power bandwidth of the entire amplifier loop is very close to the bandwidth of a 
closed loop, while the Slew Rate grows linearly with the input signals, together with 
a strong and speedy negative feedback loop (the speed of the circuit is hundreds 
of times faster than that of conventional voltage amplifiers). All these attributes are 
quite different from that of a traditional voltage amplifier. It not only eliminates the 
TIMD, it also easily achieves amplification with a wide bandwidth and ultra low 
distortion.

2)Rigorous Test and Sound Control 
During the development stage, we first use AP (Audio Precision) to analyze signal 
data for objective test. Once the desired performance specs are achieved, exten-
sive listening tests are undergone to determine the sonic qualities that the objective 
tests can’t measure. Subjective tests go hand in hand with objective tests, aiming 
to achieve a perfect feeling as well as unbeatable specifications. Each CMA800P 
will be tested by over 30 factors of specification before being shipped out, and copy 
of the test report will be put into carton box, while another copy will be kept as a 
record. 

Technology

1) HIGH/LOW GAIN switch of CMA800P
Open the top cover of CMA800P, put the 4 switch buttons on the PCB to LOW for 
LOW GAIN, and switch them to HIGH for HIGH GAIN.

2) LOW GAIN is recommended for matching with STAX SR-009.
When STAX SRM-727 is used as a power amplifier, it is necessary to open its top 
cover and switch to “DIRECT” mode, bypassing the volume control for STAX 
SRM-727.
