The reputable THX AAA Amplifier Technology is once again applied to FiiO Q series. The fully balanced THX amp module has a patented feed-forward error correction topology, plus rigorous op-amp components configuration around, it helps the Q3 with powerful output capability. Besides, under equivalent environments of power supply, the Q3 shows up guaranteed low distortion, quality bass and overall excellent sound quality and output efficiency, creating a realistic listening environment.

Utilizing AKM's new efficient AK4462 VELVET SOUND DAC, and equipped with the flagship XMOS XUF208 USB chip, the Q3 supports decoding up to 768kHz/32-bit PCM and native DSD512, with lower distortion, higher signal-to-noise ratio, excellent overall performance and greatly more refined decoding abilities.

Compared with the last generation,the Q3 comes with an extra 4.4mm balanced output. 3 mainstream headphone outputs, 4.4mm2.5mm/3.5mm/4.4mm jacks, allow you to connect all kinds of headphones. So you don't have to sacrifice compatibility with single-ended headphones while having fun with the balanced output!

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.

Looking forward to this as I had to return my Q5S after it developed a fault and now use a BTR5 on the go (comparison here) - the Q3 sounds promising.

Price?

There's a conference happening right now and they said it'll be 998CNY, which probably would translate to about $150USD

Looks like a Q1 vitaminazed But THX AAA are big words, lets see how it works

What perfect timing. Someone at work just recently stole my q5s. Will be interested to see how this compares to my lotoo paw s1 which is just a hair more expensive. I hope we get the q3 here on the amazon US page asap!

ok, dumb questions but.

1. ThX, what does it actually do?
2. will this have the horsepower to drive my 250ohm beyerdynamic?

Well at least for the second question.. The fiio q5s with the THX module only outputs 15mW unbalanced at 300ohm and 60mW at 300ohm if running balanced. I don't think they would make the Q3 more powerful or even have it at the same power while they're still selling the q5s. So It would probably get your headphones to a decent level volume wise. Probably won't do any wonders on sound quality out of those headphones however.

Given the state of tech right now I just might as well start looking at BT receivers then

Been waiting a looooooong time for this one. Almost 4 years now. But now it looks like the wait is finally over!
