Thesycon official USB Audio driver – Compliant with USB Audio 1.0 and 2.0 device class specifications. USB-IF USB C compatibility certified to meet standard transmission interface specifications. THX Certified AAA Amp for guaranteed low distortion, quality bass, and overall excellent sound quality.
THX AAA Amplifier Technology
With THX's patented feed-forward error correction technology, the AAA amps have low distortion, high power, and a pure uncolored sound. You’ll experience subtle details and shocking swings in your music effortlessly with the AAA amp in the Q3
Powerful Decoding Abilities
Utilizing the AKM’s new efficient AK4462 Velvet Sound DAC with decoding support up to 768kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD512, the Q3 achieves excellent performance. The Q3 comes with the same XMOS XUF208 USB chip as on FiiO’s flagship DAC/amp, allowing it to easily support decoding support up to 768kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD512.
Classic Design
The Q3 is a continuation of the design language of FiiO’s other amps, its elegant curves, simple lines, smooth CNC, and sandblasted all-aluminum body for a sturdy yet beautiful look while remaining practical to use
Lots of Connectors for Lots of Fun
The Q3 is equipped with 4.4mm/2.5mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended outputs, allowing you to connect all kinds of headphones. You don’t need to sacrifice compatibility with single-ended headphones while having fun with the balanced output
Versatile Multifunction Button
To make the Q3 more convenient to use, a multifunction button allows you to quickly switch between gain levels and filters. Change your sound with some simple tabs. Short press the button to switch between low/high gain. Light on for the high-gain light off for the low gain. Double-tap to cycle between sharp and slow roll-off filters
More Lows With The Same Highs
A bass switch allows you to instantly activate/deactivate the bass boost function. The purely hardware-based pass amplifier circuit can increase bass up to 6dB without affecting the mids or trebles
Your Fingers Will Instantly Know
Among professional audio products, nothing adjusts volumes better than an analog potentiometer volume knob. When combined with the ADC curve reconstruction, traditional problems with analog volume knobs like low-volume channel imbalance are effectively eliminated – so that you can quickly and accurately change to your desired volume
Highly Capable Decoder
For better component arrangement FiiO Q3 has dual crystal oscillators, Low independent LPF circuit, Low noise volume adjustment
Still Ready Even After A Long Day
Despite its high-performance components, the Q3 has long battery life. The 1800 MH battery means 10 hours or more of music under USB decoding, definitely enough for a normal day of listening
Interference shielding for pure sound quality strength all-aluminum body + copper-nickel shield + highly efficient absorbers forms a 360-degree radio frequency interference shield around the Q3. Even when using it right next to a smartphone one would be hard-pressed to detect any interference
Instantly Connect With The Symmetrical Type C Connector
The type C connector on the geometry allows you to connect it to more devices, and allow for more convenient charging with support for USB PD and lightning charging.
Always Unfazed
The Q3 is a powerful decoder always available to unlock your music wherever you go. Use with a Lightning to Type-C converter for iOS devices. Use a dual Type-C cable to connect to Android devices and control the Q3 with the FiiO Music app. Can be used with Sony Walkman players with an adapter cable.
