“The TempoTec March III-M3 delivers audiophile-grade performance with dual CS43198 DACs, Class A amplification, and versatile connectivity including Bluetooth 5.2 with LDAC support. Its clean, neutral sound signature with wide soundstage and excellent channel matching (0dB difference) makes it a strong performer in the budget DAC category, though the bass boost feature is an unusable extreme curve that colors the timbre badly.”
