exactly my point of view as wellThanks. This is exactly the feedback I was looking for. I don't need more power so there doesn't seem to be any potential benefit.

The onlly thing the V3 will bring you is a little more power.Hello! My current system is - fosi zd3 + aiyima a70. The sound is fine, but I got the idea of replacing the aiyima a70 with two fosi v3 mono. Please tell me if it's worth doing or not? Maybe there is someone who owned them and compared them? Thanks)
13% - is it an increase of the perceived volume or rather the ratio of powers? The perceived increase of volume will be next to none.The onlly thing the V3 will bring you is a little more power.
But it is only 1.3dB more power resulting in an approx 13% increase in perceived volume.
Personally I would not bother.
Thank you very much for your answer! And happy new year!The onlly thing the V3 will bring you is a little more power.

Percieved volume. Which is why I said "perceived volume"13% - is it an increase of the perceived volume or rather the ratio of powers? The perceived increase of volume will be next to none.
Same back.And happy new year!
Right, right... 10 lg (power_ratio) = 1.3dB ==> power_ratio = 10 ** 0.13 = 1.35 ==> power_increase_percent = 35%Percieved volume. Which is why I said "perceived volume". And yes, a 13% perceived volume change not very noticeable - certainly not worth paying a few hundred £$ for. But it is noticeable.
1.3dB as a percentage of power is about 35%
I think the A70 is a step up from the previous A08 I had, and I moved to two V3 monos, but for me the pivot point is the relay volume control I now use with the Monos.Hello!

Yes + 1 for an interesting question for @antcollinetRight, right... 10 lg (power_ratio) = 1.3dB ==> power_ratio = 10 ** 0.13 = 1.35 ==> power_ratio_increase_percent = 35%
I guess, my question is how you arrived at the perceived volume (loudness?) increase.
It is fairly well established that +10dB results in an approximate doubling of perceived volume (+100 %)Yes + 1 for an interesting question for @antcollinet
Has anyone figured out a way to eliminate the pop when the amp powers on from Auto mode? It's a huge thump through my speakers. I am running the Wiim Ultra through the Fosi ZD3 through the V3's. I am using the XLRs from the DAC to the amps. Could this damage my speakers?

I wonder why your system does this? My system uses the Wiim Ultra through a pair of V3 monos set to auto and they start up without a thump. I hear a faint click from the V3 relay
Perhaps the ZD3 is outputting some DC which is amplified and dropped onto the speakers at power on?
My v3 monos used to do this when run from a single 10A supply with dc filter. I suspect that if the two amps come out of standby at slightly different times you get this. I changed to 2 supplies (aiyama gain) and no longer does it.I wonder why your system does this? My system uses the Wiim Ultra through a pair of V3 monos set to auto and they start up without a thump.

I don’t think that’s it. I’m running both of mine through the single 10A supply and filter and have never gotten a pop or any other audible noise from the speakers when they switch on — and I do hear the relay clicks slightly out of sync.My v3 monos used to do this when run from a single 10A supply with dc filter.

It's the ZD3 with a slight lag when it's turned on via the 12v trigger. I removed the DAC from the equation and connected without the DAC using RCAs. No pop sound. Is there a solution that would allow me to keep the DAC and still keep the V3's in auto mode? I wonder if the same would occur if I had ZA3's in mono using the 12 v trigger from the DAC? Or should I just consider ditching the class D amps for a class AB amp?Perhaps the ZD3 is outputting some DC which is amplified and dropped onto the speakers at power on?
Ditch the dac. It wont give you anything compared to the one in the ultra.It's the ZD3 with a slight lag when it's turned on via the 12v trigger.

It looks like that is the direction I am heading. I was hoping to test the reclocking idea proposed by Old Guy HiFi/Cheap Audioman using a SMSL PO100 Pro. A DAC would have to be involved.Ditch the dac. It wont give you anything compared to the one in the ultra.
