Fiio DM13 portable CD player
Fiio announces the DM13 portable CD Player with aptX HD Bluetooth, balanced headphone-out, and USB audio. Featuring both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs, the DM13 is ideal for use with a wide-range of headphones including Fiio’s award-winning FT5 Planar Magnetic headphones, the FT3, and new FA19 in-ear monitors. Price is £179/$179.
The addition of aptX HD Bluetooth connectivity means the DM13 can connect to wireless headphones or speakers. Thanks to it also featuring a dedicated analogue line-out, the DM13 can be used with other equipment, such as an existing Hi-Fi, active speakers, or a radio/portable speaker with an auxiliary input.
With a built-in battery that delivers up to 8 hours of playback from a single charge and a dedicated desktop mode — which bypasses the internal battery and uses mains power — the DM13 is perfect for listening to CDs both out and about, or in the home.
The Fiio DM13 will be available from September in a silver finish with additional colours — including red, blue, titanium, and black — coming later in the year.
