Nostalgia, Remastered. The FiiO DM13 breathes new life into your CD collection. It isn't just a trip down memory lane; it is a complete reimagining of the classic portable CD player using modern Hi-Fi technology. With a sleek, compact design and audiophile-grade specs, the DM13 allows you to experience the tangible joy of physical media with the clarity and power of 2025.
Modern Connectivity for Classic Media
High-Res Bluetooth Transmission
Cut the cords without losing the quality. The DM13 is equipped with a flagship Qualcomm Bluetooth chip, supporting high-resolution codecs like aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and aptX Adaptive. Pair it effortlessly with your wireless headphones or Bluetooth speakers for a modern listening experience.
4.4mm Balanced Output
A world-first for portable CD players in this class. The DM13 features a dedicated 4.4mm balanced headphone jack alongside the standard 3.5mm single-ended output. This provides significantly higher output power and channel separation, allowing you to drive high-end audiophile headphones directly from the player.

Forget buying AA batteries. The DM13 houses a custom rechargeable lithium battery that delivers up to 8 hours of continuous playback. It also features advanced Electronic Shock Protection (ESP), ensuring your music never skips, whether you are walking, commuting, or relaxing at a coffee shop.
Desktop Mode & USB Audio
The DM13 is versatile enough to be your desktop transport.
-
Desktop Mode: Toggle the switch to bypass the battery and run directly on USB power, preserving battery health for stationary use.
-
USB Audio Output: Connect the DM13 to your computer or high-end external DAC via USB-C to use it as a pure digital CD transport.
