Price? I added my email address, and I still don't see it.

The Fosi web page clearly states the discount code you registered for is valid from 8th July, so that is when the price will be put up.

Nobody sees it, for the US anyway. There is this: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/prea...PuYHdJq650EmJCKZrBMtq2muCGn-cUqqsdKYSu3YuOj_4

With this ZP3 it seems that Fosi found the natural look and the feel for future products. It has the rounded gray Quad/Nad/Cambridge look, complete with an orange-gold Fosi volume pot. I hope the lateral fascia has the same look and feel as the rest of the box; from the photograph, it looks shinier, which would be a pity.

I want the ZP3, and will keep my eye on this one for release. The Q8.

Awww man, why didn't they put that adjustable HPF on the ZP3! (And honestly the dual sub out + LPF would have been awesome too!)

What is this here, a future DAC/Preamp they are working on? Is this from Fosi?

Didn't a reviewer state that the sides of the ZP3 are shiny plastic? I hope that's not the case. Can someone confirm?

Naw. I find it less interesting for those that don't care for "all in ones". I personally like separates.

A digital screen showing volume is a big plus in my eyes.. hopefully possible to change tons of settings too

Yes, on that note I agree. A digital controlled volume needs a reference!

On the Q8 page there's also a reference to a forthcoming (September) ZH3 preamp if you don't need HDMI... guess Fosi is doing the "throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks" approach to product development?

 

[Wmacky]

ZH3 is their new headphone amp. Maybe it can be used as a pre too?

You can see it shown / discussed here -
