FIIO first cassette player CP13 is officially released!

A tone control could be useful.

A tone control could be useful.

I'd still contend the default tone should be neutral (which it isn't), after that tone control is a bonus.

"Getting to rediscover all of those old albums, under a new light, really gives you a different view of how we consume music nowadays. The only real flaw in my opinion? The lack of a record option, but that may be for another time, if the cassette appeal is here to stay."

Our CP15 is under development, please give us some time, expect about 1 year

Anxious to get some updates about CP15.

Missed the sponsor thread. There is some details about CP15 in that thread here

Anxious to get some updates about CP15.

CP15 is still doing testing and correction of the movement, this process is quite long, it is expected to be ready in June

I estimate that the end of this year is likely to be on the market

CP15 main features:
1, ultra-thin volume
2, brushless motor
3, customized head
4, unique HiFi circuit design

I believe that it will be very much awaited!

megaBASS !

I plan to use the same custom chip FIIO DDB chip as our radio receiver RR11, so far the RR11 sounds and BASS reviews are pretty good!

My player's autostop feature stopped working. The tape ends but the player is still in play mode. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is the CP13 still under warranty? If so I'd send it back to the manufacturer to have them service it.

It'll cost too much to send it back to China. And "the problem" seems more like a simple annoyance, so there's that.

If it's something simple perhaps a local electronics repair shop might be able to help.
Best of luck!

I think the problem is due to the slight movement of that white plastic piece.

 

[parthabhatta]

Yes exactly that white piece. Actually I had my CP13 replaced once by my Indian retailer for auto stop issues. The replacement unit worked pretty good for last 4/5 months but has again started faltering in auto stop - not in all cassettes but randomly. Actually, these mechanisms are not that perfect.

Hoping that Fiio will work on the next model to make it a fool proof full auto stop mechanism.

 

[FiiO Willson]

For the next generation of cassette player, we called CP15,
we've reproduced a movement that's an electronically controlled brushless motor that won't have this problem anymore
