[Carbon44]

I'd love to see a windowed version!

This seems like a cool product - looking forward to seeing it released (hopefully soon!)

The "Windowed version" will be released later than the initial version，

 

[ClieOS]

I'll love to see it supporting LDAC output to BTR15 / BTR7 and also able to be controlled wirelessly by BTR15 / BTR7. If you can't do LDAC, aptx Adaptive should be minimum.

Hi, gapless playback?

DM13 is the basic model for us, Maybe LDAC will be build in DM15

I'm very interested in this product. I have over 800 cds waiting for a ''modern'' portable solution

In China, there are a lot of users like you who have a lot of CDs and are waiting for our CD player DM13

Can you comment on gapless playback support?

 

[Lindholdt]

Interesting, looking forward to hearing more about it
Would be great if it can be used as a small desktop solution as well.

Lots of new info today!

It will be available later in more colours (colors).

It will have analogue line out, SPDIF out (optical by all accounts) and USB out.

It will run from the mains, presumably from a wall wart or brick PSU, as well as the rechargeable battery which is good for 8 hours.

No word on whether the battery is user replaceable (is it @FiiO ?)

It will have Bluetooth transmission including AptX HD. No LDAC.

It will also play files from CD-Rs including FLAC and AAC.

Fingers crossed that it handles gapless/pre-gap/etc correctly. After the EC Mini debacle I'm skeptical of anything new, but I would really love this if it works like a normal CD player should. AptX HD is "ok" but LDAC would have been nice. It doesn't matter a ton to me anyway since I'm most likely going to use Bluetooth with the Grado GW100x, which only does AptX HD.

I've got an old Walkman spinner coming today with optical out, which I plan to use with the Chord Mojo 2. I hope the FiiO makes for a good modern replacement!

That makes it super interesting especially with a translucent cover
Where did you get this information?

I typed "FiiO CD Player DM13" into a search engine and looked at some of the suggested results

Good news Fiio! I use cd's on my headphone and desktop room where I spend most of my day... and vinyls on the dinning room when I'm home alone only

CD transports tend to be very expensive compared with the difference of quality they give in return, a cheap one sounds pretty close to a very expensive one.
In size are huge for a desktop place between your amp, dacs, computer monitors and speakers... so something like this to connect the digital output to your DAC is great.
I know it's more focused on the portable side which I would skip but if it's silent could play both roles.

I would prefer just a compact cd transport, but nice to offer a new practical CD after your cassette.
