FiiO M33 black
The R2R player from FiiO. FiiO M33 is a portable player built on a converter with R2R architecture. It's built on precise voltage steps and natural timing, which is often associated with a more 'analogue' musical delivery. It also includes selectable OS/NOS modes – choose between oversampling for higher accuracy or non-oversampling for a more direct signal path. With a balanced output of up to 1100mW + 1100mW at 32Ω and several amplification modes (Low / Medium / High / Headphone Amp), the FiiO M33 can effortlessly drive both sensitive IEMs and demanding full-size headphones.

Android platform, large display and flagship amplifier
At the heart of the FiiO M33 is a Snapdragon 680 processor running on Android 13, making it ideal for both playing from a local library and using modern streaming apps. The 5.5" touchscreen with a resolution of 1080×2160 px is clear and pleasant to use. Power is handled by a multi-stage, 'full Ti-based' headphone amplifier, which remains perfectly stable across various gain settings and maintains a low noise floor even under high loads – making it suitable for both sensitive IEMs and larger headphones.
Precise analogue construction
The analogue section of the FiiO M33 R2R Portable Music Player uses a pair of fully differential OPA1637 I/V op-amps, an OPA1662 LPF stage, four INA1620 headphone amplifiers, and a precise NJW1195A volume control chip. Eight Rubycon film capacitors, independent power supplies, and multi-layer isolated shielding significantly reduce crosstalk and noise.
Desktop mode, Bluetooth, separate USB power and long battery life
The FiiO M33 offers a desktop mode with dual USB inputs that separate charging from playback to reduce interference during extended listening sessions. This means you can also use it as a compact desktop DAC and preamplifier without unnecessarily draining the battery. The FiiO M33 supports Bluetooth 5.0 with SBC, aptX, aptX HD, LHDC, and LDAC codecs for transmitting, and SBC / LDAC for receiving. The built-in 4400mAh battery provides up to 15.5 hours of playback, and the fast 25W 'low-temperature' charging focuses on both speed and temperature control.
Hi-Res playback with an advanced XMOS USB DAC solution
For USB audio, the FiiO M33 Portable Music Player uses a separate XMOS XU316 USB chip that supports USB DAC mode up to 768kHz / 32-bit and DSD512 (Native). Local playback supports up to 384kHz / 32-bit and DSD256 (Native), ensuring high-resolution audio decoding. The coaxial output supports up to 384kHz / 24-bit and DSD128 (DoP/D2P).
