The XU316 features 16 cores made in an advanced manufacturing process, bringing high-performance processing and allowing support up to PCM 384kHz/32 bit and DSD256 high-resolution audio formats.

Meticulously tuned, classic relaxed sound

Due to the disrupted supply of AKM DAC chips, the Q3 MQA employs the AKM AK4452. Through numerous adjustments, this chip was tuned so that its performance is similar of that of the DAC in the original Q3 and with even slightly improved power output. The Q3 MQA still features the same charming sound that made the original Q3 so beloved.

Extraordinary sound, THX AAA-28x2 amplifiers

Featured in the Q3 MQA Edition are two THX AAA-28 amplifiers, allowing for a max power output of 330mW (370mW when using Line in mode). Experience hugely powerful, extraordinary sound.

Thanks to the powerful XMOS XU316 chip, the Q3 now supports MQA technology, which enables you to play back MQA audio files and streams , delivering the sound of the original master recording.

Dual power supply design

Experience upgraded

The innovative X-shaped straps no longer block the display of your phone and intermediate films protect your device and prevent te Q3 MQA Edition and your phone from being misaligned when strapped together.

RGB indicator light

The RGB indicator light is not only striking, but also instantly lets you know the current audio tracks’s specs and sampling rate.

ADC volume adjustment

The ADC curve reconstruction method for adjusting volume not only effectively solves the problems of the channel imbalance and noise, it also greatly improves the accuracy when adjusting the volume.

Two gain levels & BASS boost

The gain and BASS boost buttons allow you to tailor the sound to different styles and to your liking, letting you better appreciate the richness of music.

The BASS boost is achieved in hardware, allowing a bass boost up to 6dB without affecting the higher frequencies.

    Si può utilizzare adattatore uscita bilanciata 4.4 millimetri a 3.5 millimetri per collegare cuffie akg k 371 ?
    • PlayStereo
      2023-04-17 14:41
      Buonasera, sostanzialmente per ottenere tutti i benefici dell\'uscita cuffia bilanciata è necessario utilizzare una cuffia dotata di cavo bilanciato, perché l\'utilizzo di un adattatore unifica la massa dei due canali, rendendo il suono nuovamente sbilanciato. Se la sua cuffia non possiede un cavo di tipo staccabile, non sarà possibile ascoltarla in configurazione totalmente bilanciata.

    Mi chiedo lquale sia la differenza con il modello precedente? E se comporta un miglioramento della qualità sonora rispetto al precedente? Grazie

      Buongiorno Walter, non abbiamo ancora effettuato un confronto diretto tra i due modelli, però la nuova versione installa un chip DAC più aggiornato che rimane di marca AKM e quindi possiede un timbro molto musicale e rifinito. Inoltre anche l\'interfaccia USB è stata mopernizzata, per una maggiore compatibilità con computer e smartphone. Per chi utilizza Tidal il protocollo MQA consente di ottenere il flusso dati ad alta definizione di Tidal.

          2022-08-08 08:11
          Buongiorno ci scusiamo per il refuso, intendevano scrivere "compatibilità", confermiamo dunque che può tranquillamente utilizzarlo con lo smartphone in suo possesso.
