Just thinking of something about your Iphone. Do you use the headphone socket? It is sometimes best to avoid using that as the output to yet anther amplifier as you are effectively amplifying the signal twice. The Iphone should be able to work with some kind of adaptor from it's other port. I believe this output of the phone has a fixed volume and it will be at its loudest. This could result in you being able to get much better volume from your A3. This is the adaptor I remember people discussing: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/fiio-l9-l-shaped-line-out-dock-lod-cable-for-ipod-and-iphone.13404/

FiiO don't make it any more but I am sure there will be other companies that make these adaptors still. If you can find a really cheap one, it will be worth trying out. I don't know what sort of connection your phone will have. If you know, just look up that connection type to a 3.5 cable adapter.

Update,
Just got Iphone 5s port to 3.5mm adapter as so kindly suggested very cheap from ebay.
Plugged into Fii0 a3 amp.
So interesting that it will play for about a minute then iphone tells me that it is not supported!
Anyway volume is about the same but if anyone has idea on how to get it to work I would try.

the limitations of apple... They want you to stop using old and buy more and more new. There may be a way around the problem but i don't know.

Well, these are 120ohm headphones. My Beyerdynamic DT 880s are 600ohm are usually a little louder than i need them when the A3 is on maximum volume. It should comfortably drive these. As It managed my 256 ohm DT880s fine when i had them.

My A3 arrived today, but it did not come with the short 3.5mm cable to hook my player up to it. I thought it was supposed to?

 

[TheGiantHogweed]

Was it a sealed package? You know, that plastic film. The cable isn't exactly a cable. It is barely 2cm long. Just 2 3.5mm right angles with a tiny bit of flexible cable. If it is the latest A3, it should come with 2 flat silicone rectangles (possible 2 black FiiO bands too) and the tiny cable. It may be easy to miss it.

 

[rick88]

Yes it was sealed. I have seen the short flat cable on reviews I have read. I got the rectangular silicone pieces, 2 rubber bands, and a USB cable, but not the 3.5mm cable.

I thought maybe Fiio stopped putting one in the package, to increase their profits by forcing you to buy one separately.

Dear friend,

No. A small 3.5mm to 3.5mm audio cable is included in the package of the A3. Please check again. If you still confirm you don't have that cable, please contact your seller or email support@fiio.com with the receipt attached.

Best regards

I checked twice and the cable is definitely not there. I sent an email to customer support yesterday and I am waiting for a response.

I like your products as I feel they are very good values, however based on my experience and what I see from many posters on this forum, your customer service and especially your product support in regards to fixing issues and updating firmware, could use improvement.

I saw in a review on Amazon that you can increase the gain of this amplifier. ( operating on the Opa 1642)

The warranty for this product is over, and i'm an electronic.

Does someone know something about?

I can't find anything on the internet and i can't contact the person who made the review...

Thank you!

Has the A3 been discontinued? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

No, the A3 hasn't been discontinued yet. But it is out of stock currently. It will be available again in USA market at about April.
