Chris, how is your Z03 holding up? Still enjoying the sound?

That would be a party indeed!

@ Warrior'75: yeah, it's rocking my world and perfect for gym seshs! I was a bit concerned about dead battery issues, but it seemed that they ironed this out, as I got mine after the issue was reported and my battery drained to zero a few times and recharging was not a problem. In terms of sound it just delivers good clean bass and I'm surprised it's not getting the attention that it deserves

I've been on a bit of an integrated dac/amp binge for my laptop setup so my zo3 has been sitting on the shelf.  After readying your post, I just grabbed it and am listening to it at the moment.  You're right, dunno why this thing doesn't get more attention.  Not only is the bass clean, the treble is sublime as well.

Yeah, it's a really good quality bass boosting amp at the price, certainly worth the asking price sound quality wise. I find especially the midrange and bass tightness impressive. Although for my taste I'd even have slightly bigger headroom for bass quantity similar to ZO2.1 that works so well with the M-Audio Q40 headphones for EDM.

I had an experience with the FS that really impressed me last night. The lady friend and I decided to relax in bed and fire up a movie on the Kindle Fire. I was going to use a splitter, which I rarely do, and the only headphones we had two pair of were the super cheapo Amazon Basics headphones that we got on Black Friday for like $11. So I connected the FS to the Kindle Fire headphone output, then plugged the splitter into the output of the FS, and then connected the two pair of Amazon phones. I spent a few mins getting the FS dialed in (10 bass, 14 treble worked great) and fired up the movie. It was absolutely shocking how the FS transformed these uber-cheap headphones into some pretty damn good sounding audio! 
 
I've always been of the belief that it's always best to spend the highest percentage of your money on the headphones/speakers as opposed to the amps, but the ZO FS can truly transform even the cheapest of headphones into something that is REALLY impressive. The ZO is a masteripece!

yeppers X2!
 
the only time I haven't been using a ZO, is on my comute to work,
 
I've been onboard since the ZOv1, I got them when sharper image carried that gizmo? and I was hooked,
 
a transforming device!

I came on board with the ZO2 a couple years ago and still use it to this day, so I can almost relate to your experience

 
 
I'm really having a lot of fun trying different settings to see what works best with each headphone. It's pretty cliche to hear people say they have "rediscovered their music collection" after getting some new headphones or whatever, but with the current ZO it's almost like rediscovering your HEADPHONE collection all over again lol.

Does this allow for a treble decrease, or is it only increasing the treble?  Thanks!

Only increase, I had wished for the ability to also decrease it, then Signature DJs had worked out pretty well for me (minus the comfort).

 

[bozoskeletonz]

Thanks for the reply! Thats disappointing, I was looking for an easy way to tame the treble on my HD700's.

Hey, I have a couple quick questions, hopefully I can get some help. I remember I subscribed to this thread when it first began before the FS came out, now I've been thinking about really getting it.
First, I already have a Fiio E11 and I love it, only thing I use it for is the bass boost, love booming bass. Why should I get an FS instead of sticking with my e11? Probably a dumb question, but I really am wondering.
Also, what's the difference between the normal fs and the plus? Anyone find it worth the extra $55?
Lastly, would this be ideal for a portable/desktop amp, mostly for bass boost? What should I expect to be different between the Fiio E11 and this FS?

Thanks for any help everyone

I have 2 amps with bass boost and feel like piggybacking the FS with either amp adds exactly what I want in terms of adding even more hard hitting bass or if in the mood adding treble both are super clean and expand the range of my headphones especially the Grado 225's . Because I already own the amps I could see no benefit in spending the extra $55. With my set up it isn't either or but combining the existing amps with the FS. You won't be disappointed it sounds great !!

What 2 amps that you have are you referring to? So you are dual amping? I thought that was bad because of noise or sibiance? What difference does the $55 more expensive FS+ have?
