FiiO DM15 R2R - Black - Silver - Red - White - Black

Description

A new generation of portable CD playback
The FIIO DM15 R2R is a high-performance portable stereo CD player designed to merge classic optical disc playback with modern digital audio capabilities. Developed as the successor to the DM13, it reflects extensive user feedback and FIIO’s deep expertise in CD transport engineering, digital conversion, and portable HiFi design. Compact, refined, and technically ambitious, the DM15 R2R redefines what a modern portable CD player can deliver.

Five-core architecture for comprehensive performance
At the heart of the DM15 R2R lies a fully integrated five-core design managed by a dedicated MCU. This architecture combines a custom CD servo system, a fully differential R2R DAC module, a HiFi-grade USB DAC, a high-resolution Bluetooth module, and centralized system control. This tightly coordinated structure enables stable disc reading, flexible connectivity, and precise signal handling within a slim, portable chassis.

Fully differential 24-bit R2R DAC technology
To recreate the organic tonal character associated with classic CD players, the DM15 R2R employs a proprietary four-channel, fully differential 24-bit R2R resistor array DAC. Built from 192 ultra-precision thin-film resistors with 0.1% tolerance and low thermal drift, this design delivers a warm, natural, and musically engaging sound signature that distinguishes it from delta-sigma-based portable players.

Reliable CD mechanism with refined disc handling
The customized CD mechanism builds upon FIIO’s optimized disc-reading platform, incorporating a self-rebounding steel ball alignment system. This design improves disc centering, reduces insertion friction, and minimizes the risk of disc damage, ensuring reliable playback across a wide range of standard CD formats.

Extensive sound shaping and wireless capabilities
Global BASS and EQ controls provide 24 selectable sound presets, including a dedicated retro tuning that emphasizes classic analog warmth. For wireless use, the DM15 R2R integrates a Qualcomm Bluetooth chipset supporting SBC, aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, with Bluetooth transmission available from both CD and USB sources.

Multi-function digital hub with ripping support
Beyond CD playback, the DM15 R2R functions as a HiFi-grade USB DAC supporting up to 384kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD256. It also operates as a USB/CD Bluetooth transmitter and digital transport. A built-in ripping function allows users to archive CD tracks in WAV format to compatible external storage while listening.

Designed for portability and long-term use
A patented desktop mode bypasses the internal battery during stationary use, reducing charge cycles and extending battery lifespan. Power is supplied by a high-voltage lithium battery rated for approximately 7 hours of playback. A high-contrast TFT display, mechanical controls, infrared remote support, and electronic shock protection complete a design focused on both usability and durability.
