This thing came out better than my expectation. Hoping FIIO would replace the battery when needed. Initial impressions are good and well worth the money.

That’s a much nicer color than the baby blue, IMO.

I'm pretty sure that's not gonna be a thing they do. I have an X5 2nd gen DAP and I don't think they have a "send it in for battery replacement" program for that so, once it's dead, it's likely dead unless there's a Youtube video and a path to opening it up myself!

It's sad to realize the mechanism is the same as in the "rewind" player. I thought it's an own new designed mechanism....

Yeah, there is only one mech, so they all start out the same.

My hope has faded to get a new designed analogue cassette deck, all designed and made by FiiO.

Yeah but there's 20 pages in this thread where it was stated that wasn't going to happen several times!

As far as i can see latest fiio plan description from fans and fiio itself:
CP13 - on its way now.
TT13 - turntable
DP13 - compact disc player

But as far as i get it all this line depends on the market.

Thanks for the video link.

This is a really informative video. It's a shame about the playback speed issue on the CP13. You can clearly tell it's playing the tape too fast in the comparison section, which is a shame because I feel it also had the highest fidelity of the 4 new production models. Hopefully Fiio can address that problem in future production runs.

EDIT: Post #300 explains how to calibrate the speed

The back of the FIIO looks like it may come off...

Found this tidbit in another forum, from a Youtube comment:

Next question is how to open it for a service related thing like belts or battery.)
I see no screws on the back and same user have tried it via suction cup with no luck.

Yes,you are right

The production line have test the speed when producing, and the production line test standard, this is a range, individual products are also understandable to deviate from the upper limit of the speed.

There is a speed adjustment potentiometer. If you are concerned about playback speed, you can try adjusting this one.

Note：
Not recommended for inexperienced people, and people who can't hear fast enough to adjust this
