The older I get, the more I appreciate listening to music through headphones. There is something about putting on a pair of headphones that brings you closer to the music without the disturbance of others. I particularly enjoy using wired headphones. I know wireless headphones have come a long way, but for me, they still don’t quite offer the sort of detail and range that wired models do, especially if you are streaming music from a hi-res service like Qobuz or TIDAL.
To get the most out of hi-res music and a pair of high-quality headphones, you’ll need a DAC and headphone amplifier. There are plenty on the market, ranging from small and portable models that are no larger than a cigarette lighter to full-featured audiophile models like the Fosi ZH3. Featuring an audiophile-grade chipset, dual-power balanced amplifier circuit and an ultra-low noise floor, this is a DAC and headphone amp designed for high-resolution listening across headphones, active speakers and gaming consoles
Fosi Audio is a new brand to me and the company makes a range of affordable hi-fi audio products, including headphones and the ZH3, an all-in-one desktop DAC, headphone amplifier and preamp that delivers high-fidelity performance at an accessible price.
