I hope you will explore and try to solve this "compatibility problem". Thank you.

For the compatibility problem of Sony players with some DAC, you may need to report to the support of Sony for help. Or you could consider other DAC which is compatible with the Sony players instead.

Best regards

I managed to solve the problem of connecting my Sony A55 to Topping nx4 dsd by using this setup outline in this thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/topping-nx4.854311/post-16415243 . Works with smsl m400 and Topping d10s too and it uses the Fiio L27 cable with hub and other adapters.

Best for super high resolution: Fiio Q3​

Price: $150

Max resolution: 32-bit / 768kHz

Fiio has been a popular name in the portable DAC scene for a while now, and for good reason. The products deliver solid audio quality, support all manner of resolutions and are compatible with a wide range of devices. The Q3 is bigger than the previous options on this list (it’s about 1cm shorter than an iPhone 4), but remains fully portable. There are even some goofy silicone bands so you can strap it to your phone, rather than have a flappy, heavy appendage.

For users on the go, the Q3’s built-in battery (good for about eight hours) means you won’t need to drain the power on whatever you’re plugging it into. It also means mobile users won’t need a dreaded second cable. Throw in support for three different size headphone jacks (sadly, ¼-inch isn’t one of them) and you have a DAC that will serve you souped-up sounds wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to.

There isn’t a display, which you might expect for something this size, but there is an LED that changes color when you’re listening to something higher than 48kHz, so you can tell which tracks in your streaming service’s library really are higher-res. The dedicated volume control doubles as a power knob and there’s also a “bass boost” switch just like the good old days. On top of the USB-C input, there’s also the option for analog audio sources via the 3.5mm port.

Even if you’re not listening to high sample rate music, the Q3 sounds fantastic. The difference in volume, punch and dynamic range that comes through in songs that sounded flat and dense when listening directly through a phone or laptop was remarkable. Throw in support for all the hertz and bit-depths that you’ll likely ever need and what’s not to like? Especially as the Q3 comes in cheaper than some of the less capable options in this guide (the slight extra heft will be a key factor here).

I need a straight and longer USB-C cable than that supplied in the package compatible with Q3, and LT-TC1 is too short. Where can I find it?

the one on this image should be enough and it doesn't seem to be the LT-TC1, which cable is it?

Dear friend,

It is a longer version 'LT-LT1'. We may make a longer version if the requirement in the market is large.

Best regards

I think it would be very useful, you could use your smartphone comfortably while connected to the Q3 and headphones. Now it's almost impossible
I would opt for 1.3m

For me 20cm is more than enough to keep it in another pocket and far enough away from the smartphone to avoid interference.

I'm interested in the LT-TC1 for Andriod

From the Lotoo thread's suggestion, I placed an order for an RFI choke. It will take several weeks before the chokes get delivered. I will report back with my finding in regards to the Q3.

There are so many nice elements about the Q3. I have been looking at other dongles. The Q3 is so value-packed and a very nice performer. I would love to see a Q3 vs. Onyx comparison. Maybe @FiiO could send a review unit to @Ichos to compare the two THX units?

Hello,

I have been using the Fiio Q3 to power my Hifiman Sundara on 2.5mm balanced and it seems fine. But based on what I have read the Sundara seems to require more power. So was wondering if I should invest in another amp like the Fiio K5 Pro or any other brand as well or just stick with the Q3?

 

[Rahmaniac24]

One option is using Fiio Q3 as a dac and combine it with a Ifi zen can as the amp. Would this combo work?

 

[Ichos]

Not the best option as the Q3 doesn't have dedicated line out.
