{"product_id":"fiio-dm13-portable-cd-player-with-bluetooth","title":"FiiO DM13 Portable CD Player with Bluetooth","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe FiiO DM13 with Bluetooth is a portable CD player built like a hi-fi component. Two flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs feed 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs with up to 660mW per channel, plus line, coaxial, optical and USB outputs, so it works on the move or as the CD player in your hi-fi. A Qualcomm Bluetooth transmitter sends your CDs to wireless headphones and speakers in aptX HD, and the 3,750mAh battery plays for 10 hours or more. It also rips CDs to USB. It won a VGP 2025 Summer Life Style award, a CIHE EHA 2024 Gold Award and Headfonics’ Best CD Player 2025 (Bang for Buck).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-dm13-portable-cd-player-with-bluetooth-photo-colours.jpg?v=1791317039\" alt=\"FiiO DM13 portable CD players in silver, red, black, white and Skylight\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo flagship DACs and 99-step volume\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most portable CD players, the DM13 uses two CS43198 DAC chips, which combine high performance with low power use. FiiO designed an output stage around them that better captures their sound, and the DACs themselves control the volume: 99 fine steps give smooth changes and clear sound at any level. Custom low-jitter crystal oscillators keep the digital clock accurate for cleaner, more stable digital output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-dm13-portable-cd-player-with-bluetooth-photo-dacs.jpg?v=1791317042\" alt=\"The two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips in the FiiO DM13\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmall body, serious power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4.4mm balanced output delivers 660mW per channel into 32Ω and the 3.5mm output 180mW, enough to drive most headphones (FiiO recommends 8–150Ω single-ended and 8–350Ω balanced).

A custom mechanism and laser pickup read your discs, and an ESP (electronic skip protection) switch buffers the music for stable playback on the move; FiiO points out that ESP steadies playback but doesn’t change how well discs are read. Gapless playback, favourites and loop modes (one track, random or the whole disc) came from FiiO’s user feedback. As with any portable mechanism, not every disc can be read perfectly, and occasional skips on some CD-R and CD-RW discs are normal; FiiO continues to improve reading through firmware. MP3, FLAC, WAV and WMA files burned to CD-R play too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/3199\/8339\/files\/fiio-dm13-portable-cd-player-with-bluetooth-photo-openlid.jpg?v=1791317051\" alt=\"FiiO DM13 with its lid open and a CD inside\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRip your CDs, connect your hi-fi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRip CDs to WAV files on a USB drive to share or play on other devices (FAT32 drives only; FiiO recommends a USB-C drive of 32GB or less).
