Our take on the FiiO DM15 Dual AKM AK4493S Portable Stereo CD Player

The FiiO DM15 is a portable CD player that also works as a USB DAC and a Bluetooth transmitter. It uses two AKM AK4493S DAC chips and a five-core architecture, with a 4.4mm balanced and 3.5mm single-ended headphone output rated at 1100mW per channel. It has a 4700mAh battery rated for up to 6 hours of CD playback, an ESP anti-shock system, and an all-aluminum chassis with a tempered glass top. It suits people who still own CDs and want one device that plays them well and can also drive demanding headphones; compared with basic portable CD players, it adds balanced output, hi-res USB DAC processing and CD ripping to a USB drive.

About the FiiO DM15 Dual AKM AK4493S Portable Stereo CD Player

The FiiO DM15 is a portable CD player with a built-in DAC and headphone amplifier. It is the AKM version of FiiO's DM15 R2R CD player and uses two AKM AK4493S DAC chips. Its five-core design combines a CD servo, a USB bridge, a Bluetooth module, a dual DAC module and an independent MCU.

It plays CDs and can rip them in uncompressed WAV format to a FAT32-formatted USB flash drive while you listen. It also works as a USB DAC for a PC, laptop, phone or tablet, and as a Bluetooth receiver or transmitter. The custom CD mechanism uses a self-rebounding steel ball design for smooth disc handling and stable reading, and an ESP switch helps keep playback stable on the move.

Desktop Mode, switched on at the rear, isolates the battery and powers the player directly from the USB-C port. The body is an aluminum alloy chassis with a tempered glass top window and front lens.

Questions and answers

Can the DM15 drive high-impedance headphones?
FiiO rates the headphone output at 1100mW per channel, and the 4.4mm balanced output gives more headroom than the 3.5mm single-ended one. That is enough for most full-size headphones, though very hard-to-drive models may still want a desktop amp.
How long does the battery last?
FiiO rates the 4700mAh battery for up to 6 hours in CD player mode. Expect less if you use the balanced output at high volume or run it as a USB DAC.
Can I use it as a DAC with my computer?
Yes. The USB DAC mode handles 32-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256, so it works as an external sound card for a computer as well as a CD player.
Can it rip CDs without a computer?
Yes. It can rip CDs to a USB drive in WAV format, so you can digitize discs without a computer. WAV is the only ripping format FiiO lists.
What outputs does it have?
It has a 4.4mm balanced headphone output, a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output, dedicated 4.4mm and 3.5mm line-outs, and coaxial and optical digital outputs.
Does it support Bluetooth headphones and speakers?
Yes. It transmits over Bluetooth with aptX Lossless support, so you can send CD audio to wireless headphones or speakers.
