Fosi Audio is using IFA 2026 to expand beyond its familiar amplifier and DAC lineup, unveiling four new products aimed at different corners of the modern listening market. The new Carbon12 IEM, ZH1 desktop DAC and headphone amp, DISC Nano portable CD player, and S3 Lite streaming transport will all make their debut at the show in Berlin.
The Carbon12 is Fosi Audio’s second in-ear monitor, following the IM4 introduced in 2025. It combines a 12mm carbon-fiber dynamic driver with a TC4 titanium-alloy housing and a 37Ω impedance. Fosi says it is tuned toward a warm, vocal-forward sound, making it suitable for use with a variety of portable audio devices. The Carbon12 is expected in late September for $149.99 in the US and €169.99 in Europe.
For desktop listeners, the ZH1 combines an ES9039Q2M DAC with support for PCM audio up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512. It also delivers up to 2,000mW of true-balanced output, along with AI PEQ tuning, RGB ambient lighting, and multiple input and output options. It is also expected in late September, priced at $149.99 in the US and €169.99 in Europe.
The most unusual addition is the DISC Nano, a compact portable CD player built around physical media. It features a half-exposed disc design, a CS43198 DAC, 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs, Bluetooth transmission, and MagSafe compatibility. It is scheduled for late September at $99.99 in the US and €109.99 in Europe.
Finally, the S3 Lite is designed for people who already have a Hi-Fi system but want to add modern streaming capabilities without replacing their existing DAC. It provides USB, optical, and coaxial outputs and supports eight streaming protocols. Unlike the other three products, the S3 Lite is already available for $199.99 in the US and €229.99 in Europe.
All four of Fosi Audio’s new products will be on display at IFA 2026, which runs September 4-8 at Messe Berlin, with Fosi Audio located in Hall 10.2, Booth 101.
