FiiO BTR13 – pocket Bluetooth DAC amp

It combines Bluetooth 5.1, USB DAC modes, dual CS43131 DACs, 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm headphone outputs, and app adjustable PEQ in a 28.6 g body with an integrated clip.

Key Features

• Three listening modes: Switch between PC, BT, and PHONE modes for computer USB DAC use, Bluetooth receiver use, or phone powered portable DAC listening.
• Dual CS43131 DACs: Each channel is handled by its own Cirrus Logic DAC to reduce crosstalk and keep the presentation clean.
• Balanced headphone drive: Use the 3.5 mm single ended output or the 4.4 mm balanced output, with up to 220 mW + 220 mW into 32 ohms from balanced out.
• High resolution Bluetooth: Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth 5.1 supports SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and LDAC.
• Global PEQ control: Adjust EQ through the FIIO app or web PEQ, with presets and custom tuning available across Bluetooth and USB DAC use.
• Everyday usability: The 0.96 inch color IPS display, CTIA inline controls, integrated clip, and patented car mode make daily use straightforward.
