HiBy Music has officially unveiled its latest desktop digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and amplifier, the HIBY FD3 II. Positioned as a versatile device for gaming and multimedia enthusiasts, the FD3 II is set to hit the market with a retail price of 1698 yuan, available starting September 11th.
Dual Mode Connectivity and Versatile Output
The new FD3 II boasts a flexible dual-mode input system, supporting both USB wired connections and Bluetooth wireless streaming. This allows users to seamlessly switch between high-fidelity wired audio and convenient wireless playback. The device is equipped with both 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs, catering to a wide range of headphone connections. Additionally, independent 3.5mm and 4.4mm Line Out ports are provided, enabling easy integration with desktop speakers and other audio equipment.
High-Performance Audio Internals
At the heart of the FD3 II are dual CS4302 DAC chips, delivering exceptional audio decoding capabilities. The device supports high-resolution audio formats, including PCM up to 768kHz/32Bit and DSD512. It also offers MQA 8X decoding for audiophiles seeking the highest possible sound quality. Powering your headphones is not an issue, as the FD3 II delivers a robust balanced output power of up to 1125mW at 32 ohms. This significant output ensures that the device can drive most high-impedance, over-ear headphones with ease.
Robust Design and Advanced Features
The FD3 II features a full metal chassis for durability and a premium feel. A distinctive visual window design adds a touch of aesthetic appeal. To ensure sustained performance during demanding tasks, the device incorporates an active cooling fan. This internal fan addresses potential heat buildup during high-load operations, maintaining optimal working conditions. HiBy has also implemented a fully isolated power supply design. This crucial feature aims to minimize interference from external sources, preserving the purity and integrity of the audio signal for an uncompromised listening experience.
The combination of dual DACs, powerful amplification, versatile connectivity, and a robust, actively cooled design makes the HiBy FD3 II a compelling option for users seeking a high-performance audio solution for their desktop setup, whether for gaming, music, or movie playback.
