Dual AKM AK4493S DAC | Five-Core Architecture | 1100mW Balanced Output | aptX Lossless Bluetooth | CD Ripping | USB DAC 32bit/384kHz DSD256 | 4700mAh Battery | All-Aluminum Chassis

Rich “Velvet Sound” — Dual AKM AK4493S DAC

The DM15 adopts a dual AKM AK4493S DAC configuration renowned for exceptional dynamic range, warm natural timbre, and an incredibly clean noise floor. Enhanced by dual OPA1642 low-pass filters and dual SGM8262 amplifiers, the signal path remains pure from disc to your ears. As a USB DAC, it supports up to 384kHz/32-bit PCM and native DSD256 — delivering the classic CD sound with modern resolving power.

Five-Core Architecture — Purpose-Built for Audio

At the heart of the DM15 is a meticulously engineered five-core architecture: a dedicated CD servo, high-performance USB bridge, Bluetooth module, dual DAC module, and an independent MCU. Each core handles its task without interference, resulting in a pristine, stable audio experience whether you’re spinning CDs, streaming wirelessly, or using it as a USB DAC.

1100mW Balanced Output — Drive Any Headphone

Despite being 2mm slimmer than its predecessor, the DM15 delivers a massive 1100mW+1100mW at 32Ω via the 4.4mm balanced output in Desktop Mode — a 67% increase over the DM13. Single-ended output delivers 295mW+295mW. Combined with 24 sound effect combinations including 3 bass levels, 8 EQs, and a special “RETRO” tuning mode, the DM15 pairs brilliantly with both sensitive IEMs and demanding full-sized headphones.

Modern CD Player — Multiple Usage Modes

The DM15 goes far beyond a standard CD player. Rip your CDs directly to a FAT32 USB flash drive in uncompressed WAV format while you listen. Use it as a digital transport via Coaxial or Optical output. Connect it as a HiFi USB DAC to your PC, laptop, phone, or tablet. Use it as a Bluetooth receiver. The DM15 adapts to every scenario in your setup.

Next-Generation aptX Lossless Bluetooth

Powered by Qualcomm’s QCC3086 Bluetooth chip, the DM15 supports aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, aptX Low Latency, and SBC — enabling stable, lag-free high-resolution wireless transmission to your Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

Patented Desktop Mode & 4700mAh Battery

The high-capacity 4700mAh (3.85V) pure cobalt lithium battery delivers over 6 hours of CD playback and over 9 hours in USB mode. FiiO’s patented Desktop Mode completely isolates the battery when powered via USB-C, protecting long-term battery health while delivering rock-solid performance. The ESP (Electronic Shock Protection) system ensures stable playback even on the move.

Premium All-Aluminum Build with Tempered Glass Top

The DM15’s chassis is crafted from all-aluminum alloy with a transparent tempered glass top panel — offering a window into the disc mechanism below. The custom CD mechanism features a self-rebounding steel ball design for smooth disc handling and stable, lag-free reading. A high-definition 0.96” LCD screen completes the premium user experience.
