Portable balanced CD player

The DM13 brings CDs back your audio chain with clarity, power, and a compact frame. Its dual Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs, balanced and single-ended headphone outputs, Bluetooth transmission, CD ripping capability, and patented desktop power mode give you a versatile way to listen at home or on the move.

Custom LCD display

The high-contrast LCD presents volume, track number, and playback duration in a clean, readable layout. It remains stable during long sessions, giving you reliable information without adding visual strain. A simple glance tells you everything you need to know while listening.

Specially designed audio architecture

Two Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs pair with dual low-noise SGM8262 headphone amplifiers to create a signal path built for clarity. This architecture improves detail, lowers distortion, and keeps noise to a minimum. The result is an output that stays clean even when driving more demanding headphones.

Audio parameters

The DM13 delivers up to 620mW per channel from its balanced output and 270mW per channel from its 3.5mm output, giving you enough headroom for a wide range of headphones. With THD+N performance as low as 0.0022% and SNR values up to 124dB, the player maintains precision across its line and headphone outputs. Frequency response remains consistent from 20Hz to 20kHz with minimal attenuation.

Quality materials

The aluminum alloy chassis brings stiffness and durability while keeping the device lightweight. Its hinge uses precision-machined aluminum parts designed to withstand thousands of open-and-close cycles, providing long-term reliability for daily listening.

Optical and coaxial digital outputs

Custom low-jitter crystal oscillators stabilize the digital clock, improving signal accuracy when using an external DAC. Optical and coaxial outputs allow you to integrate the DM13 with powered speakers or desktop audio systems.

Tiny body enormous power

Although compact, the DM13 drives most headphones with ease. Its 180mW single-ended output and 660mW balanced output give you options, whether you prefer a lightweight portable pair or something more demanding. It can also feed powered speakers or external amplifiers through its line outputs.

USB CD ripping

The DM13 can convert your CDs into WAV files on a FAT32-formatted USB storage device. This allows you to archive your discs, share tracks with others, or transfer music to computers or phones while keeping the original audio intact.

Dual desktop and portable power modes

Switching the D.MODE toggle powers the DM13 directly from USB, preserving battery cycles during long listening sessions. When the battery is fully depleted, the device begins charging automatically, keeping playback reliable whenever power is available.

Gapless playback

Gapless playback preserves seamless album transitions and makes long recordings feel natural. You can save favorites or loop a single track, random tracks, or an entire disc, shaping how you want to listen without interruptions.

Stable CD reading

A smooth-acting lid mechanism and spacious disc compartment reduce the risk of scratching during rotation. While portable mechanisms have inherent limitations, the DM13 maintains strong reading performance and improves further with firmware updates.

3.5mm and 4.4mm outputs

The device offers both 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs, plus corresponding line outputs for external amplification. This gives you flexibility to use your preferred headphones or integrate the player into a larger audio chain.

Long battery life

A 3750mAh cobalt lithium battery supports up to 10 hours of continuous playback. Whether commuting or moving around the house, the DM13 plays long enough to follow your day without frequent charging.

Smooth volume control

Volume is controlled directly by the CS43198 DAC, allowing for 99 finely spaced steps. Each adjustment maintains clarity at low or high listening levels and responds quickly without abrupt jumps.

Portable CD player

Compact dimensions of about 5.4in x 5.7in x 1.1in (137.5mm x 144.7mm x 28.7mm) make the DM13 easier to carry than typical players. An ESP switch improves stability during movement, keeping playback consistent while traveling or relaxing at home.

aptX High-Res Bluetooth

A Qualcomm platform enables SBC, aptX, aptX Low Latency, and aptX HD Bluetooth transmission. This allows you to enjoy CDs wirelessly with higher-quality codecs and respond to different headphones or speakers with fewer compromises.

Colorfully vibrant design

The DM13 comes in multiple colors including silver, black, red, white, and a transparent-cover version. Each one adds a distinct character, letting you choose a portable player that matches how you live and listen.
