If you belong to the group of people who have used a portable compact disc (CD) player, congratulations you are now getting older and a classic technology from your teenage years is now back. Fiio, an audio accessory manufacturer from China has launched the Fiio DM13 which is a modern portable CD player with bluetooth support.
The Fiio DM13 can play all CD music as well as MP3, FLAC, WAV, AAC, and WMA audio files. Because it is a modern music player, it also has bluetooth headphone and earphone support. For those who want better audio, there are 3.5mm and 4.4mm balanced jacks.
To ensure wirelessly transmitted audio is of high quality, AptX, AptX HD, AptX Low Latency, and SBC codecs are supported. The DM13 can also be connected to an audio system via cable, SPDIF and USB. The built-in battery that is used can provide a usage experience of up to 8 hours. No more worrying about buying AA batteries like the Sony Discman era.
There is a battery bypass mode when the DM13 is connected to an external power source. With this can operate without worrying about having a negative impact on the battery. The DM13 is another attempt by Fiio to offer a classic audio player as they previously sold the CP13 cassette player.
The Fiio DM13 retails for $179 in silver starting next September before being offered in red, titanium, and black.
