Thanks, so the power demand will be around 1 A, no?
the power is 12V 1.5A
hello,every one ,s3 lite DVT test product has finish.This one will have PCM support up to at least 384KHz (to USB output) and eventually be Roon Ready?

Ooh ... now I'm getting exited. This is the one I have been waiting for. When is the project release date for the S3 Lite?
Can you provide us with the physical dimensions as well please?

I tested my S3. Power consumption is 300 mA during music playing with WiFi streaming, EQ on, and RCA output for both channels and the subwoofer.
waiting for the black version is the sole reason i havent brought an S3. Please get this to market asap
Add my username to the list. I need the black S3 version to complete my Fosi Audio Setup.
yes,it can
about Q2 finish development ,and Q3 on sell,,, small a little then ZD3

I tested an S3 in my system. Unfortunately, it has lower volume gain than my Wiim Mini. My amplifier has a low gain (around 5). It is loud enough when I played Amazon HD through Wiim Mini. However, with S3, some of the music pieces are just not loud enough when I play them through Google Cast. Since Wiim Mini has the option to choose different output levels in their software. I would recommend Fosi to adopt the same approach and add more gain options for us with low gain amplifiers. I assume this is easy to do and should be included in the bear future release.

A left and right channel balance control is also needed for the future software release.
I have two full range Zenith drivers from '60s mounted on open baffles. They don't have the same gain, I need a balance control just like a real pre-amplifier. The drivers also have peaks that need to be tamed. So for the future room correction and equalizers, please include adjustments for each individual channel in addition to just stereo. If you have any questions, please check Wiim software and see how they did it.
For the subwoofer management, please be sure to add delay time to accommodate location difference between the subwoofer and the main speakers.

Is anyone having issue with tidal connect?
If play any music over 44.1kHz there is constant cutting out. I am stuck playing music at a lower resolution and it's annoying.

My issue with Tidal is that when I connect to the S3 when it is on standby, it wakes the device up, but disconnects instantly and I have to connect to it again to start streaming. Another issue but I think it is more related to the Tidal app itself, that after a while, it loses connection to the streamer and while the stream continues to play, I have to reconnect to Tidal Connect in the app to get the current track, queue, progress, etc.
Using HDMI Arc also have rare occasions when the sound starts sputtering/popping and I have to change input and back to Arc to "reconnect" and solve the issue.
Also a bit confused now if there will be a DSP based filter for the subwoofer output? Initially it was a clear yes from Fosi side, that this will be available as an OTA upgrade, but last time YuTing mentioned, that bass management will only be available in future interations/models. While I understand that hardware specific modifications will not be done to the S3, I think it is a bit misleading that the promised software feature will be missing too. It was one of the future features promised, that sold me this device. Are there any news about it?

Hi @Fosi Audio Team @fosi PM YuTing @Will Zhang
Sorry to bother you on a non related post, but, do you have any news about Fosi Q8? We know from the internet it was presented at AXPONA, but we haven't received any news from @Charles for about 2 months.
Hope we can receive some good news. And again, sorry to post in here.

thanks，Currently, the bass management for S3 involves hardware modifications. Since the MCU outputs only a single audio channel, this issue cannot be resolved solely through software updates. We have incorporated this feature into our streaming amplifier product (S5), implementing hardware-based filtering for bass management. Regarding the other issues you mentioned above, I will ask our testing colleagues to retest and verify whether they exist. Thank you for your feedback.
I will let the Q8 PM tell you
thanks We do not encounter this issue in our testing environment. Based on our experience, the problem you described is more likely related to network connectivity—you may try switching to a different network environment.
