Hold onto your floppy disks, retro tech enthusiasts! FiiO, the audio wizards who recently resurrected the cassette player,are now bringing back another blast from the past: the DM13, a portable CD player that’s giving us major Discman vibes.
Forget those clunky AA batteries of yesteryear! The DM13 boasts a rechargeable power cell that keeps the tunes flowing for up to eight hours – perfect for powering through your coding marathons or D&D campaigns. And when you’re chilling at your battlestation, switch to desktop mode and let the DM13 sip power directly from the outlet.

But this ain’t your grandpa’s Discman. The DM13 is decked out with more ports than a starship docking bay. A USB port beams digital audio straight to your computer, while an optical port and a line-level analog output let you hook it up to your sweet home audio setup. Plus, it’s got not one, but TWO headphone jacks: a 3.5mm for your trusty everyday earbuds and a 4.4mm balanced output for those audiophile IEMs you’ve been saving up for.
Don’t worry, wireless aficionados – FiiO hasn’t forgotten about you. The DM13 rocks Bluetooth with support for a whole buffet of codecs, including aptX HD and aptX LL for lag-free audio. Whether you’re blasting your favorite chiptunes or catching up on podcasts, this bad boy’s got your back.

The DM13 isn’t just about spinning those dusty CDs you found in your attic. It’s a true audiophile companion, handling lossless FLAC and WAV files, along with those trusty MP3s you’ve got stashed on CD-Rs. It’s the perfect blend of retro charm and modern functionality.
Ready to crank up the nostalgia? Pre-order the DM13 in a sleek silver finish now, with shipments starting in September for $179. Keep your eyes peeled for red, blue, titanium, and black variants later this year. This is one retro revival you don’t want to miss!
