Fosi Audio Expands Its Ecosystem with Four New Products at IFA 2026

The new lineup brings Fosi Audio’s accessible approach to portable listening, desktop audio, streaming, and CD playback

Berlin, Germany, August 28, 2026 — Fosi Audio announces four new products making their debut at IFA 2026, taking place September 4–8 at Messe Berlin: the Carbon12 In-Ear Monitor, ZH1 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amp, DISC Nano Portable CD Player, and S3 Lite Streaming Digital Transport. Visitors can experience the products in Hall 10.2, Booth 101.
​​
​IFA brings consumer technology brands, retailers, and media from around the globe to Berlin each September to introduce the products shaping the next cycle. For Fosi Audio, this is an opportunity to introduce a lineup that moves beyond its traditional amplifier and DAC offerings, from an IEM and portable CD player to a desktop DAC/headphone amp and streaming transport. Together, the four products extend the company’s approach to HiFi across more of the ways people listen at home and on the go.

Carbon12 In-Ear Monitor
​Carbon12 is Fosi Audio’s second in-ear monitor, following the introduction of the IM4 in 2025. It pairs a 12mm carbon-fiber dynamic driver with a TC4 titanium-alloy housing and is tuned for a warm, vocal-forward sound. Its 37Ω impedance makes the Carbon12 an accessible everyday IEM that can pair easily with a wide range of portable audio devices.
​​
​Carbon12 is expected to be available in late September 2026 at a US MSRP of $149.99 / €169.99.

ZH1 Desktop DAC & Headphone Amp
​Designed as a desktop audio centerpiece, the ZH1 combines an ES9039Q2M DAC, support for up to PCM 32Bit 768kHz and DSD512, and up to 2000mW of true-balanced output. AI PEQ tuning, RGB ambient lighting, and a range of input and output options make it suited to dedicated listening, entertainment, and gaming setups.
​​
​ZH1 is expected to be available in late September 2026 at a US MSRP of $149.99 / €169.99.

DISC Nano Portable CD Player
​DISC Nano reimagines portable CD playback into a compact, design-forward form built for modern listening. Its distinctive half-exposed disc design is paired with a CS43198 DAC, 3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs, Bluetooth transmission, and MagSafe compatibility, allowing listeners to enjoy physical media through both wired and wireless setups.
​​
​DISC Nano is expected to be available in late September 2026 at a US MSRP of $99.99 / €109.99.

S3 Lite Streaming Digital Transport
​Building on Fosi Audio's S3 streamer, the S3 Lite brings updated streaming capabilities to existing HiFi systems without requiring listeners to replace their current DACs. With USB, optical, and coaxial outputs, as well as support for eight streaming protocols, it offers a flexible way to update an established system.
​​
​S3 Lite is available now at $199.99 in the US and €229.99 in Europe.
​​
​“Fosi began by making high-quality HiFi more accessible, and as our community has grown, so have the ways they want to experience music,” said Ryan Huang, Founder and CEO of Fosi Audio. “These new products take that same philosophy beyond our traditional amplifier and DAC categories, whether someone is listening through an IEM on the go, rediscovering their CD collection, or building a modern desktop or streaming system. IFA gives us the opportunity to let people experience that evolution firsthand.”
