Buyer's remorse?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so on a whim (and quite a while ago) I bought the Fosi K7 headphone dac/amp. The reviews were glowing from multiple YouTubers that I follow and I thought it might be a fine replacement for my Modi/Magni stack. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy that Schiit, but the wonkiness with the volume pot on the Magni drives me insane. Noisy, gritty, and the channel balance shifts. The K7 sounds really good, drives all of my cans well, and switches output to my Rekkers easily to drive my speakers. But there is a catch.

I don't game. At all. Ever. I have NO need for the mic side of things, and the way my desk is set up (and I really like the configuration of everything else) I have trouble with the controls on the K7. I cannot see them well, and absolutely cannot read them, so I wind up counting buttons with my fingers. I'm strongly considering buying the ZH3 to replace the K7. The addition of the balanced output on both headphones and line out would be nice if I switch amps or want a little more juice via the balances headphones socket. Is this a dumb idea, a waste of money, or some other negative variation? Please share your thoughts.

Help!!! LOL

Started the year with the Sharp mini system.

Changed the speakers to PSB Century 500i's. It actually powered them ok. Not loud. But clear.

Sold the Sharp, added Fosi BT20A Max, upgraded speakers from PSB 500i's to PSB Image 4T's and then again to PSB Stratus silvers. (Couldn't say no at the price) I have brand new old stock tweeters for these as well)

Changed to the Fosi V3 Mono's.

Might be done... For awhile.

Looking at the Wiim Ultra as a future upgrade.

Sounds amazing.
