MQA, Master Quality Authenticated has become the new forefront of audio formats. The latest FiiO Q3 MQA is specially designed to support MQA audio signals, unfolding them and bringing a pure studio-quality experience for the users. Enjoy Tidal or offline store Master Quality files with being fully decoded with the latest FiiO Q3 MQA.
FiiO Q3 MQA brings potent high-resolution audio signal decoding capabilities with the brand new XMOS XU316 16-core USB processor chip. Not only MQA, the XU316 also enables Q3 MQA to decode high-resolution 32-Bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256 signals bringing true high-resolution audio decoder to your pocket.
FiiO has equipped the latest Q3 with its trusted AK4452 DAC chipset. It delivers quality performance with exceptional clarity and resolution in the output signal. The DAC enables the Q3 MQA to achieve ultra-low THD+N harmonic distortion and high SNR(Signal-to-Noise) ratio assuring a clean output for the listeners.
Similar to the original Q3 released last year, the brand-new Q3 MQA is equipped with the trusted THX AA28*2 amplification chips. They deliver quality performance with immensely clean and powerful signal amplification. The Q3 MQA has got an output power rating of up to 370mW @ 32Ω of load. Even with the single-ended 3.5mm headphone output, you get about 160mW of clean output power.
FiiO Q3 MQA supports both single-ended as well as balanced connections. It houses 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm balanced, and 4.4mm balanced headphone output ports giving the users full freedom of choosing their preferred type of termination.
FiiO Q3 MQA supports dual battery modes. You can use it both as a portable as well as a static desktop device kept on a table. The Q3 MQA provides a superb battery life of up to 23 hours on Aux input and up to 12 hours on the USB input mode. Q3 MQA has UAC 1.0 mode support that enables the users to use the DAC with devices such as Nintendo Switch and more.
