FiiO launch the DP11 CD player as CD sales continue to make a comeback
Got a stack of silver discs? This player makes them sound great and can even rip them, no laptop required...
FiiO today reveal the DP11 CD player. Designed as a hi-fi or desktop companion, the DP11 allows you to add CD playback to your hi-fi system or compatible active speaker system.
The USB socket allows easy ripping of CDs, directly to a USB stick for lossless rips of your favourite albums.
The extensive output options means it's an ideal partner for streaming headphone amplifiers such as the FiiO K17 or dedicated speaker amplifiers such as the new FiiO EA13. For a truly compact desktop headphone system, you can also add the FiiO K13 R2R.
CD sales revenue is up 58% in the first half of 2026 (and 45% in volume) in the US and the success of portable CD players such as the FiiO DM15 R2R show that listeners are buying new CDs as well as digging out their old collections.
A 3.7 inch screen and quiet tray loading mechanism complete the retro look and a dedicated remote control is included. MQA-CD bitstream passthrough is also included.
The CS43198 DAC joins two separate power supplies and PCB sections for the CD servo, digital circuitry and analogue circuitry. Full specifications are listed below.
The DP11 will launch in October priced $185, 184.99 EUR alongside the FiiO Modular Hi-Fi Device Storage Rack.
