With the magnetic holder system the DAC can become and EDC (every day carry) audio essential that can go with your earphones travelling or with your headphones at the office. Hassle removed and its a super reliable and fun way to enjoy getting more hours with the QX13's amazing audio quality.

The full colour 2" display makes it easy to control and even has lots of customization options. The screen is covered in quality Corning glass for a long, clear life.

** October, FiiO added via firmware update, VU-Meters and a cassette tape theme! So fun and great use of the screen!...

There are two finishes available so you can suit your own style, an aluminum housing version and the carbon - with up to 21 layers of stacked carbon fiber for a lightweight yet durable build. The XL 2-inch display, coupled with multiple sets of UI themes, makes the QX13 more fun and interesting to use on a daily basis. 

Experience a New Top of Line DAC Chip

FiiO QX13 is built around a new for 2025 flagship ESS SABRE PRO ES9027PRO. The chip features a fully differential audio architecture design with 8 channels set up in parallel, and is paired with a pair of ultra-low-noise ES9312 regulators for precise output matching on each audio channel.

Big Headphone Power for On The Go

Its a tiny beast!! FiiO QX13 headphone amp section uses 6 high-end TI op-amps for powerful & stable output. (image above).

The DAC uses four chips with a specially designed internal layout to significantly reduce crosstalk – for no interference between channels even under extreme conditions. This attention to detail is all to give you better stereo separation and an improved soundstage.

Additionally, two low-noise, low-distortion OPA1692 chips are employed to ensure better performance with a wide range of headphones, from some of the newer style super low impedance IEM's to the over ear headphones of 80, 150, 250 or even 300 ohms.

Of course, the DAC has FiiO's now famous 'Desktop Mode' amp tech built in. From the 4.4mm balanced out, the non-desktop mode is almost the more surprising # - it can put out 605mW @ 32 ohms which is more than many much larger DAPs are capable of!

When you connect the second power-only usb-c cable to the optional E-Stick battery or a usb PD power supply, the ratings go way up, so the rated power output becomes 900mW @ 32 ohms, desktop mode. You get to enjoy huge power output and clean headroom for crisp, controlled music with depth, fullness and lots of clarity. 

Fiio QX13 support so many features - such as the Android APP with EQ to further customize it's performance. (screen image above, left) The DAC has selectable 60 or 120 step volume control - use 120 for sensitive IEMs, go with 60 for over ear headphones. 

FiiO QX13 Awesome Phone Accessories

As mentioned above, an awesome perk are the included screen protector, case and the clever magnet mounting option. The curved magnets allow you to plug in the QX13 and stick it to the back of most new phones or cases with rear magnet mounts. This makes it easier and more fun to use the DAC daily! (image below)

Also shown in the image above, QX13 is compatible with FiiO's optional ESTICK - a portable battery that plugs into the 2nd usb power input, allowing you to use the Desktop Amp mode on the go!! If you would enjoy having all this power on the go, pick up the EStick to go with DAC!

Add Matching EStick battery bank, $40, for Desktop Mode on the go. 

Add matching SK-EStick+QX13 Navy case, $25, to keep them together.
