The HiBy FC3 suits listeners who want a portable, higher-fidelity audio path from their phone or computer without carrying a full-sized desktop DAC\/amp. It’s ideal for commuters, audiophiles who travel, and anyone wanting clearer detail, better dynamics, and transparent MQA support from streaming and local Hi-Res files. If you need maximum power for very inefficient, high-impedance flagship headphones, consider pairing the FC3 with a more powerful standalone amp; for most users and headphones, the FC3 offers a substantial upgrade over native device audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the FC3 work with iPhone and Android?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
