I have some gear from both companies and am quite pleased.

Fosi seems to have the hot hand in that arena at the moment.

So far I'm very pleased with their V3 monos and their ZD3 desktop DAC/pre doing audio duty in my video rig.

Lot of value for the buck.

  Fosi vs monos w/ 2 power supplies best 250 bucks I've spent in years in audio. I have to go back to Grado SR-60's on my value-o-metron to get to what I'm talking about.

Been happy with a Fosi MC351 in garage - E-Stat 12:43:18 01/18/25 (0)
Output about 75W/channel into 8 ohms. Under $200 from Amazon. I did, however, splurge for the 48V power supply for another $50.

iPhone8 for SiriusXM and Bandcamp via Bluetooth.

Have you considered a powered speaker with internal dac such as the Vanatoos. Excellent sound for the desktop.
