Hiby FC3 Portable DAC&AMP, MQA Compatible

Do we have any information about this new firmware ? Should we update it ?

One of the channels on my fc3 no longer works - has anyone tried claiming warranty on their FC3?

Im from the UK and bought mine from AliExpress during BF couple of months ago

well if it's within the warranty period it is within warranty. For an item bought directly from HiBy you do need to return the item to HiBy in China to claim warranty, for which I'm sure the store will guide you through the process.

shipping the item back to China will cost more than the item itself

Perhaps you see the challenge for us in selling and shipping such high tech products for such low prices internationally then.

For such a well known audio company could you not work with AliExpress to provide free or subsidised returns for issues like mine?

I will forward your case to headquarters for their consideration.

What is it with aluminum-cased chinese DACs losing channels? The exact same thing happened to my SMSL Idea five years ago. Just bad engineering by these random companies, I suppose that's where the savings comes from. The HiBy FC3 is in fact a great DAC as long as it works, and mine is still working fine after the past few months of owning it.

If you bought from HiBy directly you may contact service@hiby.com, otherwise try contacting your seller directly

Thanks, already require a refund

After 16 month my FC3 seems to be broken, but not completely. Can anyone try to connect it without the 3.5mm jack plugged and see if windonws detects it as "ESS USB Audio" please ? It is maybe just a defectuous socket.
