Walnut V3 dac amp with balanced output

[thelonius97]

I found this, but it's significantly more expensive than the Taobao listing (I think).

Will this be the only version, or does this have a Chinese UI and a different international version will be released later on?

price sounds right

Looks so edgy! Don't know if worth it considering the tough competition of budget DAPs

I think it's huge that they got balanced out in the v3 in this budget bracket....but, imo, it won't be worth it if the sound is not on par with other players. even with the crappy touchscreen.

Based on general impressions of walnut v2 and zishan z2 that the akm dac will make the walnut sound better while keeping the walnut's warm sound character. I think that is something unique in the budget dap market segment. And everything assumes the v3 arrives with stable qc and availability without haphazard design changes that creates confusion as to where to get which version. But that aside it is a really interesting thing they got going.

Depends. That touchscreen could be a real deal breaker. Looks to be a capacitive touch screen.

Brings back those good old memories stabbing at my GPS.

The confusing thing about the photos on the AliExpress site - is that the upper two, showing a Volume Pot, two closely-spaced 3.5mm jacks, and a 2.5mm jack - are photos of the F1 Amp.
The lower photos are apparently the V3, and they don't appear to show a Volume Pot - however they are showing two widely-spaced 3.5mm jacks, and a 2.5mm jack between them.
I hope there are physical buttons on the V3, to control things like Volume, and Play/Pause.

Well that one side of the unit has a Lock Button, and (+) & (-) Buttons (probably for Volume).

Looks very interesting¡¡ Waiting for first reviews hehe

Although they have the same DAC, do you think V3 will sound better than Zishan Z2??

Hello friends, has anyone ever received the walnut v3 and could give the first impressions on it?
