If the hifigo picture is the indication of the real picture - Then as far as I see there is no optical / coax port either only input USB IN as well as Line Out (not sure the Line In implemented) and of course Bluetooth is nowhere.

This is not the original concept of Fiio Q3 this is just Fiio Q1 Mark III with 4.4 balanced and THX Certification.

The original Fiio Q3 project got canceled for sure, maybe due to this Pandemic and rename started like Xiaomi always did in their smartphone line.

The Q3 has obtained multiple certifications as a testament to its reliability and to its variety of talents: Apple certified, USB-IF USB C compatibility certified, THX Certified AAA amp, Thesycon official USB Audio driver, Hi-Res Audio certified.

Dear user,

The Q3 support line in input but not line out output.

①UAC mode (USB DAC): USB input, 2.5/3.5/4.4 output: It supports PO and BAL output, among which BAL is prior. (When PO and BAL port are inserted at the same time, PO has no output and BAL has output). When 2 BAL or all the 3 ports (PO and 2 BAL) are inserted, there will be no sound.
②AUX mode (pure headphone amplifier): 3.5 LO input, 2.5/4.4 BAL output: Only supports BAL2.5 or BAL4.4 output. If both BAL ports are inserted, there will be no sound.

Best regards

Can the usb dac work with Nintendo Switch?

Am I going senile? I don't see power output numbers anywhere?

Also, and I'm embarrassed to ask: this is battery powered, right? What is the estimated/rated battery efficiency? I'm just at a loss as to what this device actually is, LMAO. The AE listing was worthless in this regard when I looked last night.

I saw this on the hifiguides forum, someone translated the specs page for the Q3:

Everything is still in Chinese right now, as it just launched and there is very little information in English. I don’t know about the battery life.

I guess the main competitor here of the q3 will be the hip dac. i wonder how those two would compare. on the surface, hip dac has slightly higher output power ? and MQA support. whereas the fiio has the new akm chip and thx aaa amp tech....

Thanks guys for posting specs above. yeah, this device doesn't have the output power I was hoping for. Oh well. Nice form factor, IMO. But not for me.

Yea im probably on the same boat. as i will be looking for something to drive full size headphones which i dont think this is sufficient

looks very good, right in time while I am looking for a portable dac/amp, and have iFi hip dac in my listl.
Now this one is on top with THX amp.
But, can you elaborate how the THX modules are implemented?

 

[gto88]

never mind, I see the circuit in the ad picture.

i think ill stick with my Ifi Hip Dac enough to power the HifiMan Deva and Beyerdynamic 990 250OHM
