Description
FiiO BR13 Hi-Res Bluetooth Receiver & DAC
Breathe new life into your audio system. The FiiO BR13 is the ultimate solution for upgrading your traditional wired speakers, amplifiers, or older home theater systems. By adding high-resolution wireless connectivity, the BR13 allows you to stream music from your phone or tablet to your premium speakers with uncompromising quality. It is more than just a receiver; it is a dedicated audio processing center for your home.
High-End Wireless Architecture
Qualcomm QCC5125 & LDAC Support
Wireless doesn't mean low quality. The BR13 is powered by the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 chip, supporting all major high-resolution codecs including LDAC, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive. This ensures stable, low-latency transmission with sound quality that rivals wired connections.
Dedicated ES9018K2M DAC
Unlike cheap adapters that use integrated Bluetooth DACs, the BR13 features a dedicated ESS ES9018K2M DAC chip. Coupled with the TPA1882 operational amplifier, it delivers a clean, dynamic analog signal with low noise, ensuring your Hi-Fi system performs at its best.
Visual Control & Exclusive Tech
High-Contrast VA Display
Stop guessing your connection status. The BR13 features a rare-in-class VA display screen. See exactly which codec (e.g., LDAC) is active, the current sampling rate, and EQ settings at a glance.
Global Upsampling Technology
Experience enhanced clarity. The BR13 features FiiO’s proprietary Global Upsampling technology. It can automatically upsample low-resolution audio signals to 96kHz/24bit, restoring detail and airiness to your music before outputting it to your system.
3-in-1 Versatility
The BR13 handles more than just Bluetooth. It supports three distinct modes:
-
Bluetooth Receiver (RX): Stream from phone to speakers.
-
USB DAC: Connect to a computer via USB-C to act as an external sound card.
-
SPDIF Conversion: Connect a TV or CD player via Optical/Coaxial Input, and output to analog speakers (DAC mode) or bypass to digital outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BR13 transmit Bluetooth (TX)?
No. The BR13 is a Receiver (RX) only. It receives audio from your phone and plays it through wired speakers. It cannot transmit audio from a TV to Bluetooth headphones (for that, you need the FiiO BTA30 Pro).
Can I connect it to my active speakers?
Yes. Use the RCA Line-Out ports on the back of the BR13 to connect directly to your active speakers (like FiiO SP3 or Audioengine).
Does it need a driver for PC use?
For USB DAC mode, it supports UAC 1.0, which is plug-and-play for Windows, Mac, PS5, and Switch. No complex driver installation is required.
