IMHO instead of chasing balanced connections or separate components, Fosi should focus on creating a high-quality, fully integrated device—one that could shake up the entire market, outclassing the Wiim and all those overpriced pseudo-hi-end streamers.
Imagine an all-in-one unit that combines a streamer, DAC, preamp, and power amp, while also offering analog and phono inputs—and most importantly, featuring an internal power supply!
If you think about it, Fosi already has all the building blocks in its catalog:
- An excellent phono preamp
- A variety of DACs with coaxial, optical, USB, and Bluetooth inputs
- A solid analog input stage
- High-quality power amps in class-d and class ab
they need a good streamer module. I hope they will work hard,
I don’t currently own any Fosi devices because I’m not a fan of separate boxes, but I would definitely buy a well-engineered, great-sounding integrated amplifier from them.
