Key FiiO DM13 features: Dual high quality DAC chips: CS43198 660 mW+660 mW max of headphone power Bright white LCD display 3.5 mm + BAL 4.4 mm headphone outputs Optical/coaxial digital outputs Dual desktop-portable power supply modes USB CD ripping aptX HD high quality Bluetooth transmitter High Quality Audio Performance FiiO DM13's specially designed audio section pairs two flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips with two SGM8262 low-noise hi-fi headphone amplifiers. The combination of two DACs and two amplifiers, enables the portable CD player to produce truly impressive audio quality in this under $300 price range. The DM13 is flexible to use - with its high power balanced 4.4mm headphone output it can drive most headphones - just plug in and play, with many open back or planar models audiophiles already have at home. Connecting a 3.5mm - RCA cable to the rear 3.5mm line out, the CD player can be connected to powered speakers or other headphone amplifiers for an exceptional listening experience even in tight spaces or on a side table. Thanks to a multi function 3.5mm line output, Optical and Coaxial digital outputs also allow for connection to an external DAC for home stereo use, feeding a bigger system without the need to buy an expensive home CD player. Connection tip from us: For the most common analog connection to a home stereo, use a 3.5mm - L/R rca cable. 3.5mm end goes into the 3.5mm LO (line out) port on the rear of the DM13 (2nd from the left) and the rca's connect to the L/R AUX on your receiver or integrated amp. Select Pre-out on the DM13 menu. Turn up the volume on your DM13 CD Player, enjoy. FiiO DM13 features a highly effective ESP (electronic skip protection) switch, ensuring a stable and enjoyable listening experience whether you're on the move or standing still. Bluetooth for Wireless Headphones & Speakers DM13 also features a Qualcomm Bluetooth platform that provides high quality Bluetooth audio with support for aptX, aptX Low Latency, aptX HD codecs as well as the standard SBC codec. You can send audio over bluetooth, to portable speakers, wireless headphones or home BT receivers for more ways to access your CD's. The fidelity over bluetooth has been improving for years and today with the apt-x or apt-x HD found here, you get a fidelity that is so good you could easily use the cd player this way the majority of the time. It lets you stream music to your bluetooth speaker, but have the cd player on a table near you, so you can easily skip tracks or change cd's. Super Convenient! Desktop Mode for Improved Battery Health FiiO's highly acclaimed Desktop Mode is a key feature you can enjoy on the DM13. Desktop Mode transitions the performance from a portable product into a desktop product by bypassing the battery power and being powered just from the usb power connection. This lets it perform as home audio or desktop product when power is plugged in, so you can enjoy improved audio quality. When connected to a USB power source, simply slide the D.MODE switch to ‘ON’ and the DM13 will be powered directly via USB without consuming battery power, extending battery longevity, increasing the output from the headphone amp and improving the audio performance. When using to feed a home stereo or powered speakers on the desk, this is the preferred connection. With open back headphones, that typically need more power, it is also the ideal way to use DM13. DM13 is Battery Powered to Use Anywhere! FiiO DM13 is powered by a specially selected 3750 mAh, 3.8 V cobalt-lithium battery. You can take the DM13 anywhere and listen to music for up to 10 hours - more than enough for even the longest listening sessions. You'd need to bring lots of CD's. Perfect for a den, office or out on the deck! With the 3.5mm and Balanced 4.4mm headphone outputs, it is ready to use without adaptors. Perfect for FiiO headphones that include a 4.4mm cable, like JT7, FT1 and FT13.
