I thought Fosi was known for working with their users to create their products. But the MD3 was released without any input from the community. As a result, several key features are missing. I don’t have brand loyalty to the point where I’d pay more for a less capable product just for the name.

Fiio Disc does what this does and much more, for less money. I still think the MD3 form factor has a lot of potential if Fosi included ZH3 UI + DS3 web-app. And Bluetooth or some form of wireless streaming is a must in order to be competitive nowadays.

Will the Fosi MD3 have a web app to upload PEQ, similar to the DS3?

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 🙃

$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.

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)...

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...

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

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.

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? :)

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...

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.
