Aluminum Body Stereo Cassette Player

The FiiO CP13 is a modern portable cassette player built for listeners who want a reliable way to enjoy tapes with clarity and ease. It delivers fully analog playback, a custom balanced magnetic head, an oversized pure copper flywheel, and a 13-hour lithium battery.

Dual-mode power supply for continuous listening

The CP13 runs on a lithium battery that recharges through a simple USB Type-C connection. Its charging circuit is designed to remain stable under use, so you can listen while charging without stressing the player. This keeps the focus on the music rather than power concerns.

Compact frame that fits easily into daily carry

The CP13 is built to be as slim as the cassette movement allows. Structural refinements keep the body to just 1.25in (31.8mm), giving you a portable player that slips cleanly into a jacket pocket or bag. This size makes it convenient to keep tapes part of your everyday listening without extra bulk.

Dual-color aluminum body for durability

The aluminum chassis uses a dual-color finish and visible fasteners that complement the player’s shape. Its buttons undergo hard oxidation, improving wear resistance over time. The analog volume knob turns smoothly and provides better tactile control than thin potentiometers often used in compact players.

Fully analog playback chain

The CP13 uses an all-analog circuit from the magnetic tape head to the amplification stage. This uninterrupted path preserves the natural qualities of tape playback. The result is consistent analog sound with a character that matches the format’s strengths.

Audiophile op-amp JRC5532

Inside the CP13 is the JRC5532, a well-known dual op-amp appreciated for its stable behavior and clean output. In this circuit it supports low distortion and smooth channel performance. Specs like THD+N ≤ 3.5% and SNR ≥ 55dB reflect the unit’s measured consistency.

Custom balanced magnetic head

The magnetic head is selected from a small portion of production that meets tighter standards set for the CP13. A thickened head cover limits electromagnetic interference. The balanced signal-acquisition design reduces channel deviation and lowers distortion, which supports steady stereo playback across a wide range of tapes.

Oversized pure copper flywheel

The 1.2in (30.4mm) pure copper flywheel stabilizes tape travel during playback. Its weight and rigidity help maintain even rotation, reducing wow and flutter. This contributes to clearer pitch stability and a more grounded presentation of recorded material.

High-voltage motor power design

The motor operates at 4.2V, higher than what is found in many compact players. Combined with a speed-control circuit, the system increases motor drag only when necessary. This helps the CP13 handle a broader range of tape types and maintain consistent transport speed.

Everyday practicality at the center of the design

The player’s manufacturing and structural refinements result in a compact, stable cassette transport suited for regular use. The CP13 is built for listeners who want a familiar, reliable way to play tapes while keeping the operation straightforward and focused on the music.
