FiiO DP11 Desktop CD Player

The FiiO DP11 is a compact desktop CD player that brings your disc collection into a modern hi-fi or desk system. A custom desktop CD mechanism on a silent mounting bracket reads discs steadily, and the circuit design comes from FiiO’s S15 desktop streamer, with separate power supplies for the CD servo, digital and analogue sections. A Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC feeds RCA line and preamp outputs, AES, coaxial and optical outputs turn it into a transport for your own DAC, and over USB it works as a hi-res DAC or rips your CDs to lossless WAV files. It measures just 213mm wide, and comes in black or silver.

A desktop mechanism, mounted for quiet

The DP11 uses a custom CD mechanism made specifically for desktop players, held in a silent mechanism bracket. FiiO designed the pairing for stable disc reading and smooth playback, while keeping mechanical noise and vibration down. Discs load on a front tray.

Clean power, inherited from the S15

The DP11 shares its circuit design with FiiO’s S15 desktop streamer. The CD servo, the digital circuits and the analogue circuits each have their own power supply, for a cleaner background and clearer detail.

A complete CD player with the CS43198

A high-performance Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC makes the DP11 a complete, standalone CD player rather than just a transport. Connect its stereo RCA outputs straight to an integrated amplifier, active speakers or another analogue system, with no separate DAC needed. The output can also work as a preamplifier, so you can connect active speakers or a power amplifier directly and build a compact CD system without a separate preamp.

A transport for your own DAC

If you already own a DAC you love, the DP11 sends it the digital signal from your discs through AES/EBU (XLR), coaxial (RCA) or optical outputs, so it works with everything from desktop DACs to full-size hi-fi components. It also passes MQA data through untouched to an MQA-capable DAC.

More than CD: USB DAC and ripping

Through its USB-C port the DP11 also works as a hi-res desktop DAC for a computer or other digital source, playing PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit and native DSD256, so your digital library and your CDs share one system. Its built-in ripping function copies audio CDs straight to USB storage as lossless WAV files, without a computer: a simple way to make digital copies of your collection.

Mains or external power

The DP11 has a built-in mains power supply (AC 100–240V, 50/60Hz, 20W) with a power switch on the back. A separate 12V ⎓ 2A DC input lets you run it from a compatible external supply instead, for more specialised desktop systems.

Made for the desk

At about 213 × 230 × 67mm, the DP11 is far more compact than a traditional full-width CD player, so it sits easily beside other FiiO desktop components or in a smaller hi-fi system. The metal chassis stands on large round feet, an amber display shows the track and time, and front-panel buttons cover play/pause, stop, track skip, play modes and stop/eject. An infrared remote control is included.

Good to know

• The DP11 has no headphone output. To listen on headphones, connect a desktop DAC/amp such as the FiiO K7 (coaxial or optical) or the K11 R2R.
• Want CDs on the move too? See FiiO’s portable DM13 and DM15 R2R CD players. For streaming, the DP11’s circuit-design sibling is the FiiO S15.
• In the box: DP11, USB-C to USB-C data cable, 3.5mm coaxial adapter cable, infrared remote control, power cable, warranty card and user manual.
