Fosi Audio ZD3
The Fosi Audio ZD3 is a versatile fully balanced DAC and preamplifier designed as the digital hub of a modern Hi-Fi system. Its XMOS XU316, ESS ES9039Q2M, QCC3031 and LME49720 chipset supports PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512 through USB. HDMI ARC enables direct integration with compatible televisions, while Bluetooth 5.0, optical and coaxial inputs provide additional source flexibility. Balanced XLR and RCA outputs connect easily to amplifiers and active speakers. A 1.5-inch OLED display, remote control, preamp bypass and 12V trigger interfaces make the ZD3 convenient for integrated home audio installations.
