The SMSL PO100 Pro. Seems to be a USB to SPDIF /I2S converter, why do you need this in your signal chain?
They allege it reduces jitter from the digital signal. Essentially a reclocker. I am somewhat skeptical but also curious.The SMSL PO100 Pro. Seems to be a USB to SPDIF /I2S converter, why do you need this in your signal chain?
Also utterly pointless.I was hoping to test the reclocking idea

No.Hello! Dear owners of this device, do you have any pop when turning on/off this device? Thank you)
None. I use them on auto and they turn on and off with a solenoid click but no pop through the speakers. They turn off very slightly out of time with each other. If I turn my DAC off they turn themselves on for 10 minutes. If I turn my DAC on, they won’t notice until there is an audio signal.Hello!

I get two pops when my source triggers the Fosi ZD3 and then the auto feature on the V3's. I have been in communication with Fosi and recently sent them a video to see if they can solve the problem. Their customer service is great.Hello! Dear owners of this device, do you have any pop when turning on/off this device? Thank you)
My pair of unit had and still has pop sound, informed here as well:Hello! Dear owners of this device, do you have any pop when turning on/off this device? Thank you)
CXA61 & CXA81 are rated with 60w & 80w (8 ohm load), you have power output measured for v3 mono in the first post here.I have had a chance to listen to Fosi V3's for about a week now. I do like the Wiim Ultra/Fosi V3 Mono (x2) combo. I also have run it though the Fosi ZD3 DAC too. I like the combo with the DAC but without also sounds lovely too. I have been listening using the Totem Sttaf speakers. My concern is eventually upgrading my speakers to something like a CSS Audio 2TD-X or Blachard MLTL6 and whether the V3 mono's could power them. Tomorrow I am going to check out a Cambridge Audio CXA61 and CXA81. What are everyone's thoughts? Do you think the little class D V3's could power the CSS and MLTL6 and get the most out of them compared to a full sized class A/B amp?
Why would you bother? There are a few businesses hoping it becomes a thing but I’ve yet to see any objective improvement reported.Is it worth swapping the opamps out in the v3 mono? Ideally for something that won't break the bank to buy 4 of...
It's selecting a OP amp part that has no basis in science to be more compatible with the circuitry they are installed in. By the time you spend money on them and plug them in or solder them in place you may damage the PCB or peripherals and there is no guarantee that they will sound better or even different in some cases. It's guessing...Is it worth swapping the opamps out in the v3 mono? Ideally for something that won't break the bank to buy 4 of...
In the worst-case scenario, you could cause the amplifier to oscillate due to the circuitry not being compatible with the operational amplifier you've selected. There's a slight chance you might perceive an increased "airiness" effect as a result of the high frequency distortion that could occur.Is it worth swapping the opamps out in the v3 mono?

You're asking if the v3 are enough and you'll try the cambridges with less power?
Ok, I'm officially confused![]()
I tried the Muse02's that Fosi supplied in the Kickstarter along with another pair I have supplied with a DAC I use - tried with my vinyl set up - and the NE5532's went back in pretty quickly. I really questioned Fosi's suggestion / provision of these alternatives. I'm pretty sure @Old_School_Brad 's high frequency distortion effect was the result ... without any pleasant 'airiness'.Is it worth swapping the opamps out in the v3 mono?

I guess I am wondering if class a/b rated at 60 watts per channel is cleaner than class D at 100+ watts per channel especially at extreme volumes both soft and loud. The reviews seem to suggest listening at loud volume causes distortion above 85 db. Or is this a stupid question?You're asking if the v3 are enough and you'll try the cambridges with less power?
