With the DS3, Fosi Audio presents a compact DAC and headphone amplifier featuring an ESS ES9039Q2M chip and an XMOS interface, supporting signals up to PCM 32bit 768kHz and DSD512. It also offers a virtual 7.1 mode that improves spatialisation, which is particularly useful for gaming. Finally, its CNC-machined aluminium chassis with tempered glass window not only looks great, but also guarantees rock-solid robustness.
The DS3 features a high-end ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chip coupled with an optimised XMOS USB interface. This architecture allows native playback of high-resolution files up to 32bit 768kHz PCM, as well as DSD512, enabling faithful and detailed reproduction of your favourite tracks.


The DS3 incorporates a 7.1 virtual spatialisation algorithm, transforming a conventional stereo signal into an expanded soundstage. This improves the localisation of sound sources, which is particularly relevant for gaming sessions or for greater immersion in films and video games.
The DS3 features a CNC-machined aluminium chassis for increased rigidity and heat dissipation, complemented by a tempered glass window that reveals the internal circuit board. This combination offers a sleek and refined look while providing exceptional strength and durability.


In addition to offering physical volume control, the DS3 conveniently remembers the last volume level used. This means you don't have to readjust the volume every time you boot up or start a new session, ensuring the smoothest possible user experience.
