Co-Create Fosi Modular

Fosi Modular is basically build your own setup by plugging in modules into a chassis. Instead of having multiple boxes all over taking up space, just build a whole system that could be essentially modular.

What an analog preamp? Get the fosi analog preamp PCB, and connect it where the pcb would go. Oh, you want a dac instead, same board form factor with digital inputs. So you like the v3 mono's sound? Instead of sending boxes, send only the pcbs. Extra value in selling it DIY. Oh, you like Sparkos Opamps? Fine, just use my idea of opamp "cartridges" (see my other co-create threads) all that could have a nice, multi output power supply, which could also be modular, for extra power. It would easy, fun for DIYers, cheaper to manufacture since it's only the box that changes (you could have a few sizes that could accomodate all kinds of your products). On the front, VU meters, pluggable potentiometers, switches. I like Fosi's minimal design, it could follow this. If this idea is taken, I think it would revolutionize home audio, going from separates to integrated modular separates.

I agree that you are onto something with the idea of Fosi being modular. I love the idea of being able to upgrade and improve by adding in OpAmps and Monoblocks, and improving power supplies. How far down the DIY route to go though? I'm not so sure. I'd love to give it a go but this would mean starting from the beginning again I guess.
 
My preference for Fosi Modular would be to create something like this, where you can add parts, eg. Mono blocks and additional Power Supplies in the same style. Is Fosi could build me a streamer system like this I would be very happy. The individual power supplies would remove the mess from multiple power blocks hidden behind audio equipment. And if the height of ZD3 plus Streamer matched the height of - say - 2 power units and a monoblock the whole together would be something to aspire to!
