DM15 R2R
After the launch of the DM13, FiiO listened intently to user feedback and diligently refined the product based on their suggestions. A year later, FiiO present their brand-new CD Player!
Truly portable, truly HiFi FIIO portable CD player DM15
The DM15 R2R embodies the latest achievements of FiiO's research and development and deep expertise in CD technology. It is not only ‘slimmed down’ compared to the DM13 but also incorporates five core pillars in its design. It brings together the organic analog sound quality of portable CD players and a wealth of modern functionality. With an advanced configuration, unique functions, simple controls, and high build quality - this is FIIO’s brand-new masterpiece.
Five core design | Comprehensively upgraded
The DM15 R2R represents a breakthrough, combining a smaller footprint with an even stronger feature set. Packed into its portable chassis are five core pillars: the CD Servo, USB DAC, R2R Module, and Bluetooth Module, all managed and coordinated by an MCU (microcontroller unit). Such a thorough “core” evolution elevates the device in every way, surpassing the competition in its product category.
Recreating analog sound | With distinctive characters | Custom fully differential true | 24Bit R2R resistor arrays DAC
In order to recapture the classic audio character of vintage portable CD players, the DM15 R2R is equipped with a proprietary four-channel, fully differential 24Bit R2R resistor arrays DAC. It is built using a grand total of 192 precision thin- film resistors (48 per channel), carefully selected for their 0.1% accuracy and low temperature drift (30ppm). The result is a nuanced, warm, and organic analog sound.
Custom CD mechanism | Reliable disk playback
The DM13’s disc-reading performance has already seen substantial optimization over the past year. The DM15 R2R continues to evolve upon this foundation, with further customization of the CD mechanism. It features a self- rebounding steel ball design for disc alignment, making disc insertion and removal smoother and less likely to scratch the disc.
HiFi-grade USB DAC | Exceptional decoding performance
The highly anticipated USB DAC function is now a reality. While guaranteeing excellent CD sound quality and compatibility, the DM15 R2R also incorporates a HiFi-grade USB DAC. It supports high sampling rates up to 384kHz/32bit and DSD256. Thanks to the R2R DAC, the sound in USB DAC mode is also rendered with distinct musicality.
Premium Qualcomm Bluetooth Chip | Effortless Connection | Enhanced User Experience
Retro meets modern: A dual advancement in both features and experience. Equipped with the Qualcomm QCC3095 Bluetooth chip, the DM15 R2R supports standard and high-resolution Bluetooth transmission protocols, including aptX, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and SBC. Bluetooth transmission is supported for both CD input and USB input. A brand-new visual interface makes pairing and connecting Bluetooth devices perfectly clear.
Slim at an Inch - Superior in its League | A "Powerhouse" Among Portable CD
“Portable” CD players are becoming increasingly large, undermining their original purpose of being easy to carry and move around. The DM15 R2R has been further refined and slimmed down in size compared to the DM13. By uniquely integrating high performance and a wealth of features into an extremely compact and portable form factor, it stands out from its competitors.
Global BASS+EG | 24 Sound Presets
With 3 BASS modes and 8 built-in EQ presets, you can combine these for up to 24 dynamic sound presets. There is even a specially tuned RETRO sound preset that delivers a rich, analog, and classic sound flavour.
The all-purpose powerhouse Fully capable
The device combines a portable CD player, HiFi-grade USB DAC, high-resolution USB/CD Bluetooth transmitter, and a USB/CD digital transport all into a single unit - offering far greater versatility and compatibility than comparable portable CD players.
HD TFT display Effortlessly control your music
The player’s retro UI theme blends modern and vintage styles for a pleasing look that is also easy to use. It clearly and intuitively presents information such as battery power, operational mode, EQ settings, sampling rate, Bluetooth connection list, and more, allowing you to easily maintain control over your audio and enhance your musical enjoyment.
Vintage mechanical controls | The overture to a great listening experience
This brand-new retro design incorporates mechanical buttons, keys, and knobs that one can tangibly interact with, making control simple and easy to learn. Furthermore, the real tactile feedback from every single action allows you to fully experience the beauty of CD listening through sight, touch, and sound.
Supports USB ripping functionality Preserve the melodies that touch your soul
The player supports ripping tracks while listening, allowing you to save your favourite CDs in WAV format onto external storage*. Easily share those unforgettable tunes with friends.
Portable and desktop modes | Dual distinct experiences | Patented desktop mode | The battery protection specialist
This mode bypasses the battery for non-portable use, protecting it from being used even during high-power output. This also significantly cuts down on charge-discharge cycles, which significantly helps to prolong the lifespan of the battery.
Infrared remote control included
The included remote makes it easy and convenient to control the device from afar.
High-voltage lithium battery power Freedom on the go
A specially selected 4700mAh, 3.85V pure cobalt high-voltage lithium battery delivers powerful performance to the DM15 R2R. Enjoy about 7 hours* of continuous music playback, easily satisfying your need for extended listening without worrying about the battery running out.
ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) Switch
By turning on the ESP functionality, users can enjoy a stable and engaging sound experience whether one is taking the player outside or using it stationary on a desk.
Transparent window Delivering on both looks and capability
A rich palette of colours: electrophoretic white, silver, black, and red. A true fashion icon that stands out anywhere. The device features a minimalist yet fashionable design, featuring a chassis of all aluminium alloy construction that offers a luxurious texture and tactile feel. Both the transparent lid and the front panel cover are made with tempered glass for increased durability and scratch resistance.
