music streams through the Mini-i Pro 3 over a LAN and Wifi. Push music to the Mini-i Pro 3 from an iPhone, iPad, or any

space gray with a 3.3-inch LCD screen and a brand new user interface. The Mini-i Pro 3 provides improved user experi-
ence and stunning good looks.
The Mini-i Pro 3 feature a fully balanced headphone amplifier. This allows the left and right channel signals to pass
through a nearly perfect symmetrical amplifier circuit, providing ample headphone output power with low distortion and low
noise. The output power of single-ended headphone connection is increased by 50%, and the balanced headphone output
is increased by 3 times compared to the previous generation. The addition of a 4.4mm balanced headphone jack makes it
easier to connect various popular balanced headphones.
Like the previous generation, Mini-i Pro 3 also have various digital audio input ports. They are first models with IIS LVDS
input port in entry product line. This means the Mini-i Pro 3 can get a performance improvement through an external audio
interface (such as the Matrix Audio X SPDIF 2.) The USB Type-C connector improves the connection reliability and trans-
mission efficiency of digital audio signal over the previous generations USB ports. Whether it is a digital audio signal from
a TV, set-top box, game console, HTPC, or analog audio equipment such as a vinyl turntable(you will need a seperate
phono stage), it can be connected to a digital audio system with the help of Mini-i Pro 3.
