Thomas Dolby - I Scare Myself If anybody has a system resolving enough to make out what is said at the 9 second mark as some speech bleeds through into a mic, I'd love to know.

Fosi PSU on AliExpress

It's a bit of a cludgey way to do it but do you have scope to reduce the output level by dropping all the EQ frequency levels by XdB?

For clarification, the optical and coax out can also be switched between fixed and variable output to enable volume control through an external DAC that doesn't have its own volume adjustment. I think you know that but the "only optical changes" bit above might confuse some.

What was your problem with them? Mine arrived a while ago and I didn't even plug them in until a few minutes ago. I had an ear wax issue and wasn't hearing anything much above about 500Hz in my right ear for a week and then was too busy and/or lazy for a while. Your post prompted me to plug a...

" BBC sounds via the Wiim microphone button" I've found that Alexa sometimes gets hung up on the BBC Sounds app on both WiiM and my Echo Show 8. It will go off and pull up the right screen, with channel ident and even the text for the name of the show being aired, but no audio. I've no idea why...

In case you've heard nothing yet, shipping has started. Mine are at the airport in China and should be winging their way to me soon. Hopefully, yours are well on the way too. I believe there is some delay whilst they get filters made for those who ordered the 10 amp power supplies.

"Do to the super low price, i think you would use a equally low priced preamp, mabye something for £120" I'm not sure about that. Even at full price, I suspect the V3 Mono might be good enough to not be embarrassed in more expensive company. I think of them as a good way to save money on amps to...

Yes.

I seem to have accidentally derailed the thread by including the Fosi amps into my £857 system. I would have liked the WiiM Pro Plus as the paired pre, but it lacks a proper USB input and adding something like a Topping D10S to act as a USB to optical bridge and a phone to control it eats too...

There are two "basic" configurations for a pair of the V3 Mono amps. Either to give each amp its own 48V 5A supply or to share a 48V 10A supply between 2 amps with a splitter cable. The 2 PSU route means more clutter but the amps can be placed further apart from one another and likely nearer to...

Somebody asked about shipping in the comments. "Regarding the final price for two mono V3 with two PSU 48V 5A plus the transport tax, please specify for the destination in the EU, if the customs tax and the VAT tax are included." Fosi replied with "Hi, we will cover all duties and taxes with...

They are currently raising funds for the initial full production run on Kickstarter. The price for 2 V3 monos with 48V 5A PSU's is $1750 Hong Kong dollars, which translates to about £180. There is 22 days left to get in on the deal...
