Fosi Audio DS3 : ESS DAC chip and XMOS interface
The DS3 features a high-end ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chip coupled with an optimised XMOS USB interface. This architecture allows native playback of high-resolution files up to 32-bit/768 kHz PCM, as well as DSD512, enabling faithful and detailed reproduction of your favourite tracks.
Fosi Audio DS3 : 7.1 spatialisation
The DS3 incorporates a 7.1 virtual spatialisation algorithm, transforming a conventional stereo signal into an expanded soundstage. This improves the localisation of sound sources, which is particularly relevant for gaming sessions or for greater immersion in films and video games.
Fosi Audio DS3 : As classy as it is durable
The DS3 features a CNC-machined aluminium chassis for increased rigidity and heat dissipation, complemented by a tempered glass window that reveals the internal circuit board. This combination offers a sleek and refined look while providing exceptional strength and durability.
Fosi Audio DS3 : Volume control
In addition to offering physical volume control, the DS3 conveniently remembers the last volume level used. This means you don't have to readjust the volume every time you boot up or start a new session, ensuring the smoothest possible user experience.
