It decodes PCM up to 384kHz\/32-bit and native DSD64\/128\/256, with a 3.5mm single-ended output (shared with a coaxial digital output) and a 4.4mm balanced output capable of more than 250mW+250mW into 32Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn RGB ambient light ring indicates the incoming sample rate and format at a glance, and 8GB of onboard storage — expandable to 256GB via microSD — lets it play local files without relying on phone storage. A 10-band parametric EQ is adjustable through the FiiO Control app on Android or through a browser-based control link.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMELODY's button behaviour is fully reconfigurable between two control modes — one where a short press adjusts volume and a long press skips tracks, and another where those roles are reversed — so it's worth spending a minute in the FiiO Control app or web control page after unboxing to pick whichever layout feels more natural. Note that on-device EQ and button-mode control currently works through Android or a browser; FiiO's iOS app cannot connect to MELODY due to a platform restriction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy the FiiO MELODY Stands Out\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolid Wood Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from aged North American Maple or Walnut, with each unit's grain and colour naturally unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced 4.4mm Output Over 250mW\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivers more than 250mW+250mW into 32Ω from the balanced output, alongside a separate 3.5mm single-ended and coaxial-shared output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8GB Onboard Storage with microSD Expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStores files directly on the device, with support for microSD cards up to 256GB for a larger local library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10-Band Parametric EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable and shareable through the FiiO Control app on Android or a web-based control link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRGB Format Indicator Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA light ring around the device shows the incoming sample rate and format without needing to check an app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuyer's Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Design-Conscious Listener\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants a dongle DAC that looks and feels warmer than a typical metal-bodied unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Local-File Listener\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants onboard and expandable storage so playback doesn't depend on phone storage space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe EQ Tuner\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants a shareable, adjustable 10-band EQ without hunting through generic phone settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMELODY sits alongside FiiO's KA-series and QX13 dongle DAC\/amps but takes a different approach to both materials and functionality: its solid wood housing replaces their metal bodies, and its 8GB of onboard storage with microSD expansion is a feature those metal dongles don't include.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FiiO","offers":[{"title":"Maple","offer_id":48387855384797,"sku":"LM-EXPB-IEJX","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Walnut","offer_id":48387855417565,"sku":"LM-JAPK-UDYR","price":59.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0331\/1930\/5859\/files\/fiio-melody-portable-headphone-amp-front-and-back.png?v=1787066103","url":"https:\/\/www.simcoeav.ca\/fr\/products\/fiio-melody-portable-dac-amp","provider":"Simcoe Audio Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
