It receives Bluetooth audio from a phone, tablet, or laptop — including from two source devices at once via multipoint — and also works as a USB DAC or an optical\/coaxial digital decoder, outputting to any amplifier or powered speaker with an RCA analog input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1.1-inch display shows codec and EQ information, and the whole unit can be controlled from its physical buttons or the FiiO Control app, with support for 7 EQ presets plus two 10-band parametric EQ profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BR13 receives Bluetooth audio but does not transmit it — it's a receiver, USB DAC, and SPDIF decoder, not a transmitter, despite sometimes being grouped with transmitter\/receiver products. If the goal is sending audio from a TV or turntable's output to wireless headphones or a Bluetooth speaker, this isn't the right device; if the goal is getting Bluetooth audio (or USB or digital audio) into an existing amplifier or speaker system, it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy the FiiO BR13 Stands Out\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQualcomm QCC5125 with LDAC and aptX Adaptive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupports SBC, aptX, aptX LL, aptX Adaptive, aptX HD, and LDAC for high-resolution and low-latency wireless streaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree Ways In: Bluetooth, USB, and SPDIF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks as a Bluetooth receiver, a USB DAC, and an optical\/coaxial digital decoder from the same compact unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Device Bluetooth Multipoint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs with two Bluetooth source devices at once and switches between them without re-pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eES9018K2M DAC with Strong Measured Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSNR of at least 114dB and THD+N under 0.0006%, with a 2Vrms line output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7 EQ Presets Plus Dual 10-Band Parametric EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable through the 1.1-inch display, physical buttons, or the FiiO Control 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 Legacy Amplifier Owner\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants to add Bluetooth streaming to an amp or speakers that only have analog or digital inputs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Multi-Source Listener\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants Bluetooth, USB, and optical\/coaxial digital inputs covered by one small unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Two-Device Household\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants to keep two Bluetooth sources paired and switch between them without repeating setup each time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe BR13 is a receiver, USB DAC, and SPDIF decoder — unlike a Bluetooth transmitter, it does not send audio out to wireless speakers or headphones.
