Concerning the optical-out: If I was connecting my mobile beamer (Philips PicoPix Max) via USB-C to the K3, and the K3 via SPDIF to my AVR, will I get surround-sound from the integrated Netflix- and Amazon-Video-Apps?

PS: The beamer's OS is Android 9. And how does your device compare to Creatives Soundblaster X3? https://en.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-x3

Dear friend,

The K3 is designed for computer generally. So we could not promise whether it could be compatible with your Android device.

How about a K3 Pro with a battery, more power single ended and swappable DAC for the next update.

Dear friend,

Thanks for your kind feedback. We will report to to the product manager for assessing about that.

Greetings. I was wondering what's the difference in sound output/quality between FiiO K3/ FiiO A5/ FiiO Q1 II

@FiiO

Hi there I was planning on buying one yesterday but had some problems when bitstreaming DSD, it had a hissing sound.

Setup used:

• Jriver Lastest Media Center (Dsd setup https://www.psaudio.com/ps_how/how-to-setup-jriver-19-for-dsd-playback/)
• Macbook pro 15 inch with Mojave
• ifi usb cable and also tried with Apple usb-c hub
• tried both usb 1 and 2

Disabling DSD bitstreaming removed the hissing sound

Also triend dsd bitstreaming with other dac amps
- https://ifi-audio.com/products/xdsd/
- https://ifi-audio.com/products/nano-idsd-bl/

We didn't encounter any hissing problem when using dsd and same cables

I wanted specifically to buy the K3 for the coax output since i needed that.

Any tips on how to make this work?

Dear friend,

I fail to understand the issue you mentioned well. The issue happen when playing DSD file, right? Did you try another usb cable(like our CL06) and port?
Did you check using another software or in Windows conmputer?

Would it be possible to plug the k3 into a powered hub to power it without the laptops battery?

Dear user,

But you would need to connect the K3 to the PC still in order to use it as USB DAC. You could try to test by yourself in the local store first.

If I plugged k3 into powered hub, then plug hub into laptop, any idea if that would work?

It works fine, at least with my setup. Here im using an Anker 7-in-1 usb-c hub with PD and it charges my ipad and powers the K3. If i disconnect the ipad, the K3 stays powered (abeit without a source)..

So it passes the digital signal to the k3 through the hub? I’m trying to see if I can use my k3 with my Samsung galaxy tablet. I need to be able to charge the tab at the same time though. Thanks for the info!

Correct. I think my iPad pro (Usb-c) setup can be similar to what you will have with your galaxy tablet
