What's your setup/configuration look like?

Nothing to look at, really. Just a hifi system with one concession to the digital world. (Ask me why I chose WiiM over BluOS sometime.)

I have same headphones and getting Fosi zh3😊
I bought a ZH3 a week or two back.
As a dac it was great - once I used balanced.
Don't know why, but RCA sounded pretty bad, and all I did was take the rca leads out the back of the fiio k11 r2r and plug them into the zh3, so should't be related to any other wiring / noise issue.
Moved the zh3 into my office after a while, ultra usb out to zh3, and the jury is still out.
To be fair, I've hardly used it for headphone listening (I've been trying a couple of other things in the office recently), and used some headphones I haven't used in a little while, but I was surely underwhelmed. Maybe I should have got the fiio k13? 🤔 Maybe I still will. :ROFLMAO:
Actually, in the last month I've done hardly any headphone listening so might move it into a different room where my su9 / sh9 combo lives and compare it there with the 'phones I've used most over the past 6 months or so.

TBH I bought it for the balanced connection and dac as I don’t use headphones that much, was going to get the zd3 but don’t use Bluetooth at all and chipset is to similar to the ultra
So far been happy with all my Fosi gear will see what happens with this😊
 
WiiM Amp for small speakers (workout, background and PC sound). WiiM Ultra via USB to SMSL PO100 Pro reclocker, then to VMV D1se2 via optical, then to Primare i25 via line SE ("big" system for critical listening). Headphones amp, tube preamp and a pair of RCA and XLR switchers in addition.

Santa Claus arrived early and brought me this toy to add to my chain. A Fiio Warmer.
As you can see from the image, with the arrival of the Fiio I was able to replace the Ultra's screen.
Even though they were malfunctioning, I've always used the Meter or the recently arrived Spectrum Analyzer because they're visually appealing and can be read from 2.5-3 meters away.
The Warmer has two true analog meters, not digital ones, that work perfectly, so on the Ultra I now use the so-called Minimal display.
Perfectly readable from 2.5-3 meters away.

Over the last couple of years, home office audio has improved pleasantly.

Before...Wiim Amp + Pioneer SP-BS22-LR Andrew Jones

Added Kef Q750 and RSL Speedwoofer 10e. Room correction has tied these in nicely.

The Andrew Jones speakers have gone to my daughter who has her own WiiM Amp now.

With a set up like that in my office I wouldn't get any work done!
