Sometimes touching the volume knob or headphone's jack results cracking sounds or totally stops the device . Only solution is to turn it off and on again. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

I got the FiiO K3 (the new model) , it can play dsd64 and dsd128 audio files with Foobar2000 just fine, but I get a playback error "Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format: 705600 Hz / 32-bit / 2 channels" for DSD256 files. Screenshots of my configuration. Any ideas what may...

I just bought a FiiO K3 (new) portable desktop amplifier/dac . Here is my initial impressions and a few questions. This is a good looking ,small unit . I used it both with Senn 598cs and Hifiman 400i. Power output is enough for Senn 598 on low gain. It is also more than loud on low gain for...

I found this discussion. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/cant-select-dolby-atmos-spatial-sound-with-usb-dac/9a52fbce-5a80-4597-af1c-9400b68b957e?auth=1 they say, it may be related to the DAC being 24 bit but windows sonic ,dolby atmos supporting only 16bits. I dunno if...

I just bought FiiO K3 (new one) , connected it to my desktop computer and I options for spatial audio (both Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos for headphone) are greyed out. Is there a way to use these with USB DAC/AMPs like FiiO K3 ?

I need a new dac/amp. It will be connected to a desktop computer whole time. I will use it with Hifiman 400i and Sennheiser 650hd, Senn 598cs. New K5 doesn't have its own power, so it's limited by the USB's output. I maybe wrong but as far as I know, USB power output may not be enough for...

Probably only source I'll plug into DAC will be Samsung S20FE.

Apple music is about to support Spatial Audio , Dolby Atmos music files. Tidal already has master quality music archive and 360 Reality Audio. I'm going to use the dac/amp with Senn 598, 600 and Hifiman 400 Planars. IFI AUDIO HIP-DAC and FiiO Headphone Amplifier DAC Q3 DSD are popular...

What is quality expectation of a BT model like this at this generation? I'm interested in this model, but all the BT sets I tried failed to impress. Are these like as good as 1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Earphones at last?

I need a portable DAC/AMP to use with my Hifi-man 400i, Sennheiser 598 and Senn 650 (soon to buy). I was advised to buy iFi Hip-dac Portable DAC Headphone Amp, but a few users say sound is warm and it doesn’t go well with headphones that have already warm sound signature like Senn...

I want to buy this to use with Hifiman 400i and Sennheiser 650hd . Does anyone have an experience with these? Does it provide enough power ? Combined with Senn 650 ,will it sound a bit too much warm?

I'm not very experienced but I like listening my music with headphones that has different sound characteristics. Planar Hifiman is for one kind of music , while I like the warm sound of Senns with Classics or Blues . I 'm trying to figure out if Philips has a different sound then these and if it...

I already own Seinheiser 598CS and Hifi 400i . I like the natural sound of Hifiman and warm sound of Sennheiser . I mostly listen Blues,Classic Rock . Own a LG amp/dac to use with phone and about to buy a seperate amp/dac for pc . I see a good deal for Philips Fidelio X2HR. Is it a good...

Does it or will it by any chance support Super X-Fi? That feature seems to be the most innovative tech lately, but only one portable model supports it.

Thank you for the replies. Also , did anyone use Creative's DSP for gaming? It's supposed to turn stereo sound into surround , but I already use Microsoft's Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos Headphones where avaible , they already do a great job. Is Creative's solution really better?

More into music. Try to buy the SACD versions nowadays. What kind of DAC can I combine JDS Atom amp?

I need a headphone DAC/Amp for my desktop computer. I will use it with Hifi 400i, Senn 598cs and Senn 650. I don't know much about dacs/amps but on paper SB G6 seems to be a better deal , since owner of FiiO K3 says it doesn't have enough power output for Hifi 400 or Senn 650 . FiiO K3 has a...

Hifi 400i is 35Ohm . Shouldn't be K3 enough is it supports upto 150ohm?

Same test suggests Topping NX4 DSD costs only a bit more but is significantly better in performance.

I don't know much about this site but they seem to be doing a very detailed , trough review of DACs/AMPs . His review isn't much favorible to K3 . Any similar experience? https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-fiio-k3-dac-amp.6859/ I was going to...

ok .Thank you for the reply. There are two new amp/dacs . Fiio K3 SMSL M9 DAC/Amp (on massdrop) Fiio K3 is 119USD , SMSL is 129USD . Would you buy any of these , or prefer one of them over other?

Thaks everyone for helping me decide. I bought a Hifiman 400i. This thing is a leage of its own. can't even compare to my Sennheiser 598cs which I also really love.

is there a new release schedule? Would be cool if it was ready for the black friday.

is there an exact release date for this model? People who is about to 10K may want to wait a bit if the release date isn't far away?

Thanks for all the replies. it didn't know Oppo PM-3 was discontinued. Anything replacing it? I'm already going to buy a amp/dac , without it the headphone I'm using (Sennheiser 598cs) doesnt work it's best either . It works but underwhelming, it kinda shows its strength with an amp/dac...
