I was hoping for something like an alternative to the fine Neutron HiFi DAC V1 , just for eample. ...Or devices by Qudelix, E1DA, FiiO, or late FC5 by Hiby.
- A dongle DAC with PEQ functionality written into EEPROM - "ready to go" on boot up - with no need of any Android "companion" apps or other EQ apps running - or programs like Equalizer Apo on Windows machines respectively. - PEQ functionality that's even working when data received in WASAPI exclusive mode there.

- However, they made a different choice. Now it's all about inverted virtual surround, and targeting gamers.
There's that Fosi specific "porthole", Fosi Orange edging, rather than a display, on top of the device. Specs so far not provided (by 16/11/2025) ...but ready to ship as it seems. Comes in at USD 96.00 with that active "EABF20" voucher code applied.
Honestly, I did not expect that kind of release.
Still, when it comes to non-existent software, Fosi Audio does not at all identify what I want ...as something their customers ask for.
