With an eight-hour battery life and support for multiple formats, including MP3, WAV, and FLAC, it lets you easily dive into your CD collection or play your custom mixes.
Able to handle both portable and home use, the DM13 is equipped with Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) to prevent skipping, ensuring smooth playback even when you’re on the move.

True portability
DM13 may be compact, but it offers impressive performance that sets it apart from other similar products on the market today. Not only can it drive most headphones, but it can also be connected to powered speakers or other headphone amplifiers for a versatile listening experience.
Disc versatility
DM13 BT doesn’t just stop at playing standard CDs. It supports a variety of audio formats, including MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, and WMA, when burned onto CD-Rs. This means you can craft your perfect mix, revisit classic albums, and enjoy high-fidelity digital audio without compromise.
Electronic shock protection
Designed with portable use in mind, the DM13 BT features Electronic Shock Protection (ESP) to ensure your music remains uninterrupted even when you’re on the move. Whether you’re commuting, working out, or simply walking around, the DM13 BT keeps the rhythm going without skips.
Stable CD reading
By lightly pressing the lever, the lid opens effortlessly so that you can insert your disc. The spacious disc tray significantly reduces the likelihood of scratches during high-speed rotation and provides maximum protection for your favourite discs. *Due to technical limitations, while the above measures reduce the likelihood of discs being scratched, they cannot completely eliminate it. Do not drop DM13 with a disc inside it.
Playback features
In the early stages of developing this product, FiiO gathered extensive feedback from users and overcame many challenges to carefully develop a range of user-friendly and thoughtful features, including the ability to save favourites, and looped playback. The loop functionality supports loops on a single track, random tracks and even the entire CD — so you can customize playback to your liking.
Custom LCD display
The high-contrast, durable LCD display clearly shows the volume, track number and playback duration of the song and makes the status of the device easy to understand. Even with prolonged screen use, it won’t burn in, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Listen your way
The FiiO DM13 BT boasts a variety of connectivity options. With analog, SPDIF, and USB outputs, it integrates seamlessly into any audio system or listening situation.
Dual headphone outputs
The front 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs are amplified, for connecting headphones.
Dual line outputs
The rear 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced outputs allow for connection to home audio systems, like amplifiers and powered speakers.
Digital outputs
The rear optical and coaxial digital outputs allow for connection to an external DAC in your audio system. Special low-jitter crystal oscillators ensure accurate synchronisation of the digital clock, resulting in cleaner and more stable digital signal transmission.
USB CD ripping
You can rip your favourite CDs to WAV files stored on a USB-C portable storage device and easily share them with friends and family. The WAV music files on this portable storage device can then be easily transferred to other computers or phones, so you can play the music on your CDs anytime, anywhere. *Supports FAT32 formatted storage devices only.
Battery life
The 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 8-10 hours — more than enough for even the longest listening sessions. *Data from FIIO Labs. Actual results may vary due to usage conditions that differ from test conditions.
Desktop Mode
FiiO’s highly acclaimed Desktop Mode is available on the DM13. When connected to a USB power source, simply slide the rear D.MODE switch to ‘ON’ and the DM13 will be powered directly via USB without consuming battery power, extending battery lifespan. *When the remaining battery capacity reaches 0% and the device is forcibly switched off, the battery will start charging regardless of the current mode.
Audio architecture
DM13’s specially designed audio architecture pairs two flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 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 superior sound compared to others on the market.
Dual DACs
Unlike most portable CD players, the FiiO DM13 uses two flagship CS43198 DAC chips, which offer high performance and low power consumption for excellent audio quality. FIIO engineers have also specially designed an output stage that better captures the sound of the DAC, with the same DAC chip controlling the volume. The DAC chip allows for 99-step fine volume adjustment, which not only allows for smooth volume changes, but also makes the sound clearer at any volume.
Aluminum design
The aluminium alloy casing perfectly combines texture and feel while ensuring the structural strength of the device. Precision-machined aluminium alloy components are used for the critical hinge, offering greater wear resistance and durability. Rigorous testing in FiiO laboratories has shown that the hinge can be reliably closed and opened more than 5000 times.
