    Preamp ZP3 Preamp Changes (v2.0?)

    If people want a loudness control (which I agree is a useful feature), then they should just implement that! (Like Schiit does for their DACs with Forkbeard.) That's a very specific curve that will be really hard to hit with these knobs (or perhaps impossible based on how much of the FR they...

    Preamp My experience: The Fosi ZP3 Hiss Issue Explained

    Black Knob that fits ZP3: https://www.amazon.com/Hapivida-Aluminum-Controller-Potentiometer-Equipment/dp/B0F16LX8KZ/ FYI: When the HPF switch is set to "20Hz-20KHz", it's effectively "off". You probably knew that, but I'm stating this more for anyone else looking at this thread. I'm curious...

    Preamp My experience: The Fosi ZP3 Hiss Issue Explained

    I've been using it a while now and have found the volume issue to be surprisingly not a problem. However, I'm not switching between sources a lot. (I actually replaced the orange knob that came with the unit with a sleek black one I got for like $5 on Amazon. The circular indent on it is larger...

    Preamp ZP3 Preamp Changes (v2.0?)

    Here would be some very small changes Fosi could make to the ZP3 preamp to make it almost perfect (⭐s indicate important ones): High Pass Filter: Provide a few more steps/options for the HPF settings such as 60hz and maybe even 40hz. (MOST people will use the 80hz setting, but as a second...

    Preamp ZP3 thoughts and concerns

    Unfortunately it ALSO bypasses the HPF. (Their manual doesn't mention this but it's been confirmed by myself and many other ZP3 owners.) Everyone seems to have that hiss.. and anyone that says they don't probably haven't tried turning the bypass feature off or don't have great hearing and just...

    My Fosi ZP3 Review: The Missing Link for my V3 System, or a Bridge Too Far?

    @Avvocato In your Noise Floor Test, I'm wondering if that silent background you experienced was with the Bypass mode enabled? Because in my unit there's a high frequency hiss coming out of my tweeters if bypass is not enabled. This same issue with the ZP3 is being reported all over the internet...
