FiiO audio product announcements

Overview

FiiO has expanded its audio hardware lineup with the announcement of the DP11, a compact desktop CD player and digital transport designed to serve as a multi-purpose audio interface. Expected to launch in October 2026, the DP11 features a Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC and provides various connectivity options, including analog stereo RCA outputs alongside digital AES/EBU, S/PDIF coaxial, and TOSLINK outputs for external decoders.

To minimize operating noise, the device incorporates a front-loading tray with optimized servo firmware and a silent mechanism bracket. The unit also utilizes isolated power supplies for the CD servo, digital processing, and analog audio stages to reduce interference. Beyond playback, the DP11 functions as a USB DAC for high-resolution audio from computers or mobile devices and includes a direct CD-to-USB ripping function to save audio as WAV files to a flash drive. The DP11 is housed in a metal chassis measuring 213 x 230 x 67 mm and includes an amber LCD display and an infrared remote control.

This follows previous announcements of the DM11 portable CD player and the FT15 flagship open-back planar magnetic headphones. In late September 2026, FiiO released the RR13 portable radio and the CLASS A desktop amplifier. The RR13 is a retro-styled FM radio, USB-DAC, and desktop active speaker priced at approximately $64.99. The CLASS A is a desktop headphone amplifier and preamplifier priced at approximately $379.99, featuring a fully discrete Class A amplification circuit and a 60W toroidal transformer.
