    Linear power supply PSU20

    Thank you for the update! Two DC ports and one USB port are exactly what I would use. No AC purification needed, for my Fosi stack at least 🙃

    DAC Fosi ZD3 or Fosi ZH3

    $22 more for a superb headphone amp with tone controls. I have 12 different headphones including HE6SEv2 and the ZH3 powers them all beautifully. If you like headphones you won’t be disappointed.

    Physical equalizer

    I have two reasons for 2x ZH3: The first is to compare op amps. The classic op amp swap takes too long, and my auditory memory is not long enough to do a proper comparison. So I have two ZH3 with different op amps in each, and they both feed the beyerdynamic A1 (with quick swap input selection)...

    Independent review and recommendation of the Fosi Audio DS3 portable DAC/headphone amplifier.

    The ZH3 has tone controls that might be analog, but they are digitally controlled and can controlled from a remote control. If someone works at a computer there would be a huge advantage to having an app to control the volume, tone controls, gain level, etc. right there on the computer without...

    Personal test and independent opinion of the Fosi Audio ZH3 Balanced DAC/Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier.

    Wiim mini -> toslink splitter -> 2ZH3 (4PO for preamp or headphones) -> A1/A2/GR70. My favorite amp for K340 is the A1, but the ZH3 also drives them very well imo

    The web app looks like a great way to control a device from a computer, even if it didn’t add any additional features to Fosi’s other DACs it looks like a slick control UI

    Personal test and independent opinion of the Fosi Audio ZH3 Balanced DAC/Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier.

    Yes that’s right. I have the Beyerdynamic A1/A2 amps and Burson Soloist which all have switchable inputs so I could compare different op amps. The difference is noticeable to me in the kick/bass region, as I often emphasize it with EQ, and at high output levels the difference is more noticeable.

    Personal test and independent opinion of the Fosi Audio ZH3 Balanced DAC/Headphone Amplifier/Preamplifier.

    Not sure if you already figured this out, but you can exit the menu by double clicking the main orange button. I was originally put off by no EQ in preamp mode, but with the right cable adaptor Phones Out on medium gain is standard 2V/4V line level at very transparent levels confirmed by ASR...

    Thank you very much for your reviews, and also for the video showing how to enable PEQ. I did not know the PEQ firmware was released already but it looks quite good! Now I wonder if a similar web app could be implemented for Fosi’s other DACs like the ZD3/ZH3? :)

    Streamer S3 Streamer Development Log

    Bummer. So instead of using a mature app that’s regularly updated they opted to try and reinvent the wheel. Let see if they can create an app with more features and better stability than the wiim home app. Fwiw I don’t care one bit about what the streamer looks like. My current source is a...

    Streamer S3 Streamer Development Log

    So, I do not own a Fosi T10 but apparently it works with the WIIM app (and apple devices). Could this be a solution for the Fosi streamers? The ability to use EQ/room correction & link to other Fosi/Wiim streamers would be a huge plus - not having to choose one ecosystem or the other.

    New MD3 DAC/Amp

    Fosi MD3 Press Release It appears another Fosi device has emerged, but I haven’t seen any discussion here yet. So I’d like to start the conversation, and hopefully someone who was able to attend Canjam Dubai can give more details & impressions of the UI (User Interface) - does it offer any new...

    That would leave out quite a few consumers in the US, myself included.

    Opps, forgot the Headphone amp! Now what to do?

    If you don’t have any high power requirements for your headphones, I find the Fosi GR70 to be a very enjoyable combo with a ZH3 or ZD3 with V7V op amps. Unfortunately, Fosi does not offer any headphone amplifiers with balanced inputs, but I suggested that they make a balanced version of the...
