FiiO DAP новина: One of the best $150 keyboards has a GOOD headphone amp built in! FiiO KB3 Review

Портативното аудио продължава развитие с фокус върху DAC и hi-res системи.

Резюме: The FiiO KB3 keyboard has a ridiculous amount of features for $150 USD. With hot-swappable Gateron Yellow switches, VIA customizable firmware, a good headphone amp, and more, the KB3 should be a on a lot of people's radar. In this review I cover everything from a typing test, setup, audio performance, and more!
