Fiio FD3:
Seems to be a bright iem since it seems male vocals arent good while they mentioned it being good with “female poison”.

I think I’m done collecting Fiio sets. This does not interest me. Gotta love that HUGE Fiio logo. That’s sarcasm btw.

Do you any information about the price or price range? To me it look promising.
P/s: Anyone here using apple music with something like btr5? When it stream via bluetooth with LDAC codec, does the apple app send the lossless ALAC files before compress to LDAC or it just send AAC via bluetooth?
Around 100$ 
Around 100 usd as @nymz said. I believe the difference in the FD3 and the FD3 Pro is that the pro version includes a modular cable while the regular FD3 is just a regular cable.
Would love to see some reputable brand like fiio doing a nice sub 100$ hybrid modular 2pin cable (copper/silver). That would take my money
Edit: or better yet… XINHS get modular plugs…

Oh boy, I would LOVE if XINHS got the modular system that Dunu uses. That system is a LOT better than Fiio uses.

Yeah, just asked him about it. Or something like hart cables: mini xlr to mini xlr adaptors

Just by looking at the pics reminded myself that I never even touch the narrow nozzles of my FD5.
Not sure if an FD3 is worth it when there’s the FH3 already. Curious how they’re gonna pull this off.
Well, the FH3 is a hybrid and the FD3 is a single DD. I say they got room to have both in the same price range. The question is if the FD3 is well tuned or not. It sounds like it is a bright iem since they mentioned “female poison” so it can be shouty…
Hey @Rikudou_Goku
Did you see AmericanSpirit (it seems he isn’t around here at Hifiguides?) post on KZ’s forum at head-fi?1 Interesting read and also the source he mentioned.
Different OI can make the FR of BA iems change (the same way different resistance cables do).

Did you do any measurements for different DAC filters – if they change the FR chart? I was reading this² and found it interesting. But I cycled through my DAC settings and honestly couldn’t notice any difference. Maybe that’s because I’m using just Spotify highest setting and not a high-res source?
No I havent tried measuring it. On my DX160 I do hear some very very very slight differences, but optimizing the filter for every single transducer is way too time consuming and the benefits are extremely minor.
What’s your default setting? I ended up leaving mine on “Linear Phase Fast”.
im on stock settings with my main setup (Topping E30 dac).
“Sharp roll off”

By the way, do you listen to what formats for music in general? MQA, DSD, Spotify, other?
My library is local music in mostly FLAC or MP3 (320kbps).
(using JRIVER on windows 10 (desktop) and Neutron Player on my DX160 (portable))

TOTL tuning with the DIY foam mod. I prefer this a bit over the blon bl-03 (mesh mod).
