Line-out?

Does the M3 have line-out? I was planning on using iBasso T1 headphone amp with this player.

nope, just the 3,5 mm jack and usb connection

Damn. Line-out would make this player perfect.

Don't bother amping the Meizu. Another Head-fi'er and myself have both amped the M6 and it just makes the warm sounding player rather dark. It's quite unpleasant, though I do plan to try again since I enjoy the Phase Corrected Equilizer alot. =T

can a line out not be emulated sorta by modifying the eq settings???

maybe i am missing the point here(i tend to do that ) but how can an EQ modification replace a missing part of hardware?

Job's right, nothing can emulate a line out.

But I do think they can do it in a firmware update where you can set a mode within the settings that basically switches between headphone out or line out. I'm not definite this could be done, I just don't see why it can't.

I don't see the problem of plugging the headphone output directly in your amplifier. A headphone output is just like a line-out with more power. A speaker has a low impedance and need high power, amplifier input has high impedance and need little power. Although the contrary is not true, a high power output can be used like a low power one.

What we want is to bypass the internal amplifier of the Meizu and use our own amplification circuitry. =T

well.. thats not possible
it would be if the Meizu had a dock which connected by USB and the dock had a line-out...

I want that

I still think a function programmed within the firmware would be able to switch between line out and headphone out. It goes in every "Wishlist for x.xxx.xxxxxxxxx" firmware thread by me, lol. Hopefully one day it'll actually get implemented.

It requires specific circuitry in the hardware, so if that was not intended it will never be implemented.

But why would you want to skip the amplifier at first ? Connected to a high impedance output the amplifier will have almost no impact on signal.
