The CD players they are back! As Gen Z soaks up the ’90s they never knew through Nirvana and wired headphones, FiiO is here to take advantage. The company’s new portable CD player, the DM13, is based on the Discman design. However, it adds modern touches like high-fidelity wireless and a built-in battery so Gen Zers can save the trouble… The upcoming CD player has an elegant design with a digital display on its front, creating a much sharper modern aesthetic.
It supports high-quality aptX HD and is compatible with many Android phones and mobile devices. FiiO says the DM13 supports eight hours of playback per charge. It also has USB output and a dedicated desktop mode that bypasses the battery and uses its main power at home.
The bad news for 90s retrophiles is that the DM13 isn’t available yet. Following its official unveiling at this weekend’s CanJam event in London, the CD Player will be released in September for $179 (£179 in the UK). It’s starting to ship only in a silver finish, but FiiO says red, blue and black variants will arrive later this year.
