What's your setup/configuration look like?

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😊
