Q&A:
Q: What is the S3?
A: The S3 is a network audio player (Streamer) that can play music from streaming services (Spotify/Tidal, etc.), mobile phones, or local networks via Wi-Fi or wired network (RJ45) interface, and output to an amplifier/decoder or powered speakers.
Q: Which music streaming/protocol services does the S3 support?
A: Roon Ready (under certification), Google Cast, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Dlna (UPnP),Qobuz Connect
(Currently only these seven are supported, continuously being updated)
Q: How to play music using the S3 using the above sevenstreaming protocols?
A: See the recorded video attached to the PPT above.
Q: When will Roon Ready be available?
A: Currently, Roon Ready is still in the certification process, and we are actively advancing the certification process with Roon Labs.
Until certification is completed, you can still use the device to play music in the Roon App in the following ways:
- Roon (AirPlay) Playback
- Roon (Google Cast) Playback
After certification, we will push the official Roon Ready feature via firmware update.
Q: What is the difference between the S3 and traditional DACs (such as the ZD3)?
A: The S3 simply adds network connectivity to the ZD3. The S3 primarily handles music streaming and network connectivity, and comes with its own app; all other functions are the same.
Q: Can the S3 play local music files (such as those from a NAS)? How?
A: It supports playing music from a NAS; playback can be achieved via Roon or using the DLNA (UPnP) protocol.
Q: What are the usage scenarios for the S3?
A:
Input modes: NET (Wi-Fi/Wired LAN port), Bluetooth, RCA, HDMI, OPT
Output interfaces: RCA/XLR, OPT
Four main connection usage examples:
- S3 - RCA/XLR output - Active speakers
- S3-RCA/XLR Output - Amplifier (e.g., ZA3) - Passive Speakers
- S3-OPT Output - DAC (e.g., ZD3) - Amplifier (e.g., ZA3) - Passive Speakers
- S3-OPT Output - DAC (e.g., ZD3) - Active Speakers
If all these devices are Fosi, they can be switched on and off via the 12 Triggle connectors.
Q: Can I bypass the S3's internal DAC and use an external DAC?
A: Yes; using the OPT output will bypass the S3's internal DAC.
Q: How do I restore factory settings?
A: There are two methods:
APP: After completing the connection, you can directly restore factory settings within the APP;
Body Button: Press and hold the "pair/out" button for 5 seconds to restore factory settings. The indicator light will cycle for 15 seconds.
Q: What should I do if the S3 has no sound?
A: If your S3 has no sound output, please check the following:
- Volume Settings:
Ensure the volume is turned up in the Fosi Audio App and on the connected external device (e.g., AV receiver or amplifier/DAC).
- Input Source Selection:
Confirm that the receiver or audio device has selected the correct input source corresponding to the WiiM Ultra output.
- Audio Output Settings:
Confirm that the correct audio output has been selected in the Fosi Audio App.
- Physical Connections:
Check that all cables between the WiiM Ultra and the receiver or audio device are properly plugged in and securely connected.
Q: How to use the Multiroom feature on the S3?
A: Google Cast and AirPlay2 support the Multiroom feature. The S3 only supports the Multiroom feature via these two protocols.
Q: Can multiple phones control the same S3?
A:
- All phones need to download the Fosi Audio app first.
- One phone needs to be successfully connected to the S3 first.
- Multiple phones can control the S3 from any phone as long as they are on the same network.
Q: The Fosi Audio App includes some features such as mute control and clock settings, but these don't work on the S3. Why is this?
A: We are continuously optimizing the app's functionality and overall user experience.
Some features currently visible in the app are actually reserved for future versions and may not be available yet. We will gradually improve and unlock these features in future updates. Thank you for your understanding and support.
