Overview
FiiO built this portable player to spin CDs through headphones on the go and to feed a home system through its digital and line outputs. A built-in lithium ion battery powers it, and a USB connection handles disc ripping.
A balanced headphone jack alongside optical and coaxial outputs lets one player serve a commute and a desk with an external DAC. Battery runtime and skip protection go unstated, and the Bluetooth in the color name gets no support in the spec table.
Who it's for
Listeners with a CD shelf, balanced headphones or an external DAC get one device for both uses. People who need confirmed Bluetooth or a long listed runtime should check with FiiO first.
Pros and cons
- Balanced headphone output for compatible headphones
- Optical and coaxial outputs feed a DAC
- USB ripping built in
- Plays audio CDs and MP3
- Battery life not listed
- Bluetooth appears only in the color name
- Only MP3 listed as a file format
Performance notes
Sound from the headphone jacks depends on the internal amplifier and the load of your headphones, while the optical and coaxial outputs hand decoding to an external DAC. Disc read stability and battery drain govern portable use, and neither is described in the specs.
