Fosi Audio is marking its ninth anniversary by expanding its offerings with new products for distinctly different listening moments: the Carbon12 In-Ear Monitor, ZH1 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amp, DISC Nano Portable CD Player, and S3 Lite Streaming Digital Transport.
For personal listening: Carbon12 In-Ear Monitor
Carbon12 brings Fosi Audio’s vocal-forward tuning to a lightweight portable setup. The world’s first UTPT pure carbon-fiber diaphragm, it’s 12mm carbon-fiber dynamic driver and TC4 titanium-alloy housing create a warm, vocal-forward sound, while its 37Ω impedance allows it to pair easily with a wide range of portable audio devices. Carbon12 is expected to be available in late September 2026 for $149.99.
For the desktop: ZH1 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amp
ZH1 brings high-resolution headphone listening to PC gaming, music, and entertainment setups. Its ES9039Q2M DAC supports up to PCM 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512, with up to 2000mW of true-balanced output. AI PEQ tuning, RGB ambient lighting, and flexible input and output options allow users to tailor the experience to their setup. ZH1 is expected to be available in late September 2026 for $149.99
For physical media: DISC Nano Portable CD Player
For listeners returning to physical media, DISC Nano brings the CD into a compact, contemporary listening experience as the world’s smallest portable CD player, combining the appeal of physical media with modern portability and design. Its half-exposed disc design pairs CD playback with a CS43198 DAC, 3.5mm and 4.4mm wired outputs, Bluetooth transmission, and MagSafe compatibility for portable use. DISC Nano is expected to be available in late September 2026 for $99.99.
For the home system: S3 Lite Streaming Digital Transport
Built specifically for listeners who already own a DAC, S3 Lite provides a straightforward way to add modern streaming capabilities without replacing the core components of an existing HiFi system. USB, optical, and coaxial outputs, along with support for eight streaming protocols, offer a flexible route to bring streaming into an established system. S3 Lite is available now for $199.99.
To celebrate its ninth anniversary, Fosi Audio is also offering special anniversary pricing across its website through October 5, 2026.
