FiiO DM15 R2R

The FiiO DM15 R2R combines classic CD enjoyment with state-of-the-art audio technology, offering an impressive overall package both in sound quality and functionality. At its core is a specially developed 24-bit R2R resistor ladder DAC section: four channels with 48 high-precision resistors each ensure playback with analog warmth, fine sound texture, and natural spatiality – exactly the reminiscence of classic HiFi playback that many music lovers appreciate. With the R2R DAC, the DM15 R2R functions as a CD player with high-quality mechanics, a top-tier USB DAC, and even as a Bluetooth transmitter, allowing music to be wirelessly transmitted to headphones or speakers. Additionally, it features unbalanced 3.5 mm and balanced 4.4 mm headphone outputs and line outputs. The headphone amplification offers impressive power: unbalanced up to 315 mW + 315 mW or balanced up to 1150 mW + 1150 mW. This allows even demanding over-ear headphones to be driven effortlessly. This power is complemented by extensive sound control: three bass levels, eight pre-programmed EQ presets, and up to 24 configurable sound modes enable individual adaptation to music styles and headphones. The operation and build quality are top-notch: the aluminum housing has a sturdy, portable format, a display, a balanced mix of buttons, knobs, and an infrared remote control, as well as convenient playback and ripping functions. Thus, it is suitable for both mobile and stationary use, including a desktop mode for permanent operation without draining the battery. The DM15 R2R is aimed at audiophiles looking for a CD player that not only brings nostalgic sound but also meets all modern requirements: highest sound fidelity, flexible connection and playback options, and strong performance for headphones and external audio chains.
