MQA authenticated dongle—the HiBy FC3
Supports MQA, HiBy Music app, HiRes certified, 70mW high power / low battery consumption, ES9281pro DAC, RGB indicator light, DSD128, 3.5mm headphone jack, all metal body
Supports MQA
Supporting MQA, the full unfolding of MQA audio performed by the FC3 brings you the full studio / concert experience. The FC3 includes MQA Renderer technology, which can connect to an MQA Core signal and complete the final unfold of an MQA file.

* MQA support is expected to be added in HiBy Music app soon.
