I agree on Merak being too late. There have been no updates for a long time, until just a couple of weeks before the release. I cannot really comment on the quality, since some video reviews I have seen were pre release models, so there might have been changes, but somehow it did not seem to me...

ZP3 has a connection for sub woofer, have not checked if S3 has one or not, if not, you will need it for that. Besides that, it gives you the option to connect additional sources to your setup, if and when you need to. If the S3 is all you need, and has subwoofer connetivity, you can probably...

Until someone with more knowledge replies, I would suggest that you have a look at a combination of the V3 mono & ZP3 pre-amplifier. And probably the new S3 streamer, that if I remember correctly already supports Tidal.

You should be able to do this by selecting in the operating system the audio output. I have not tried with two USB devices at the same time, but have tried switching between USB device, onboard audio card and external audio interface via optical, without problems.

A dedicated device just for room correction, something that could be used between pre-amplifiers & power amplifiers would be great to have. Probably would also be easy to have something similar for integrated amplifiers, but there are already plenty of integrated amplifiers with room...

Besides the obvious "do not tap on the table" (Sorry, could help my self ), you can check if something any tube some how got loose, if something like that is possible. Other than that, the next best thing I believe would be to use some isolating material to decouple the P-2 from the table.

Any update on the CD player? It has been quite a while since the last update.

Probably weather conditions play a big role, among others. During summer where I live, in less than one hour the V3s were really too hot to keep touching for more than a couple of seconds. Now with the ambient temperature around 22-25 C, they do get hot, but not too much, I can keep my hand on...

I have this also connected on a windows 10 machine, via USB, but do not have this issue at all. I had no need to install a driver, just connected the device and it worked. I have tried using headphones & speakers, different apps for audio & video playback, did not notice it at all.

I do have access to a thermal camera, so at some point I will check give it a shot to see what is the temperature, before & after. I had not thought about the chip placement, to be honest, just had in mind that having the heatsink on the top, would let hot air escape easier. But completely...

Interesting idea. I was thinking about doing something similar, by adding a heat sink on the top of the V3. This solution looks much better, though I wonder if it is as effective as putting them on top of the device. Perhaps I can try both when I get the time, and see if there is any...

I suggest you try contacting Fosi support directly, since the device is only 3 months old, it should be covered by the warranty. I had an issue with an item that arrived defective, and they where very helpful. https://support.fosiaudio.com/

Do not have the K7, but is there any chance you have both USB and optical/coax cables connected to your PC? If the USB port besides power can act as audio transfer connection, there is a chance that windows sees the K7 as two devices. If that is the case, you can try to swap input/output devices...

Regarding the RCA output to tape deck, I believe it should work, since it is a line out. You would need though a tape deck with input level indicators, in order to be able to set recording levels. The ZP3 can use only one output at a time, so you cannot send the output to a tape recorder, and at...

Probably not much Fosi can do about it. It would be better to either contact the courier, or contact the customs directly. Depending on where you are, sometimes you have to do the customs clearance process yourself, or pay the company that handles the shipping to handle the clearance process...
