Fiio’s DM13 brings welcome upgrades to Sony’s classic Discman
It’s time to dig out those CD binders you refused to part with. Fiio, a Chinese audio gear maker, is releasing a $179 portable CD player in September that brings with it modern upgrades the Sony Discman never had — including support for the wireless headphones that didn’t exist in the Discman’s heyday.
Following vinyl’s resurgence in popularity, demand for audio cassettes and compact discs has increased in recent years. At CES 2024, Fiio debuted the CP13, an upgraded portable cassette player inspired by the iconic Sony Walkman. Half a year later, the Fiio DM13 gives portable CD players a similarly modern facelift.
