FiiO unveils BTR13 DAC and Headphone Amplifier

The FiiO BTR13 is a versatile device that functions as both a DAC and a headphone amplifier, featuring Bluetooth connectivity. This capability enables its use in multiple applications, including serving as a sound card for computers, a Bluetooth decoder, or an audio adapter for smartphones.

Features:

1. Supports multiple modes : Switching between PC, BT and PHONE modes is realized by a three-position switch, allowing you to conveniently use BTR13 for different tasks.
2. 96kHz and Bluetooth Support : Using the Qualcomm QCC5125 chip with LDAC codec support, it delivers high-quality audio transmission at up to 96kHz in Bluetooth and USB DAC modes.
3. 3.5mm and 4.4mm Jacks : The BTR13 features a 4.4mm balanced jack, which provides more reliable and durable connections than 2.5mm jacks. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack.
4. Dual high-quality CS43131 DACs : Each channel is processed by a separate, high-quality Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC, reducing crosstalk and delivering cleaner sound.
5. Global PEQ : The BTR13 offers access to a high-quality parametric equalizer that can be easily adjusted via the app or web interface.

This device is ideal for users who want a one-stop solution to improve the sound on a variety of devices, whether it’s a PC, smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled audio system.
