Okay

Sound Signature: warm
Detail retrieval: 5/10
Soundstage: 5/10
Lows: neutral mostly
Mids: slightly improved as warm SS
Highs: exceptional with smooth treble.

Paired with Sennheiser IE600, and compared to my 8+gen 1 Qualcomm internal DAC feels like a less detailed and narrower soundstage. But has a very good control over higher frequencies where internal DAC makes hisss of a sound.

Hey there,

Thank you for taking the time to write this review, we really appreciate the genuine feedback! Your review will definitely help fellow audiophiles to make an informed decision.

Worthy alternative to the tpz ep50 and shanling alpha ol1

Can be used right out of the box, no extra tuning necessary as such. Has a few modes that can be tweaked for sound. Used to use the Abigail pro, but switched to colorfly for a better dac/amp experience. Good for pc or mobile. Note : After using this on pc, you will need a separate mic as unlike Abigail pro and the like, the mic will not be enabled if connected through this dac.

Absolutely Brilliant

After going through several reviews, blogs and recommendations, I finally chose Colorfly CDA M1P and I can confirm that this thing is an absolute beast. You will almost immediately recognise a difference once you start using this. The sound stage is open and dynamic, sound itself is organic and natural, moderately technical and offers a pleasing experience. There is no unnecessary boosting and the profile suits my taste. It is essential that I thank Headphone Zone team for making this purchase possible.

The Colorfly M1P DAC is disappointing, with inconsistent volume control that makes fine adjustments difficult.Received my unit yesterday .Volume only increases noticeably after 60% on mobile devices(after maxing out on DAC volume), with a sharp jump from 70% to 90%.Twice or thrice song was playing but no sound was coming so i had to unplug and plug it again.When tested with Hype 4 headphones(purchased from HPZ),the M1P showed minimal improvement over the basic Apple dongle, offering no significant gains in clarity or sound quality. Comparatively, the iFi Go Link ( also purchased from HPZ but had to return it due to QC issues), outperformed both the M1P and the Apple dongle, offering better functionality and sound. Overall, the M1P fails to deliver any meaningful upgrade, leaving the reviewer frustrated and feeling that both time and money were wasted .Again feeling disappointed and helpless and a serious letdown for any keen listeners.Hoping for some resolution from HPZ.
