It plays over Bluetooth 6.0 with SBC and LDAC, or as a USB DAC over USB-C with no drivers needed, decoding up to 96kHz\/32-bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 360° rotary knob handles volume and, with a press, cycles through four sound presets — HiFi, Retro, Pop, and Warm — while the FiiO Control app adds custom EQ and codec switching. The built-in battery plays for about 10.5 hours over Bluetooth (SBC) and recharges in about 2.5 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSimcoe Audio Video Insight\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mounting insert in the box is sized for FiiO's JM21 and M21 players specifically — if the plan is to dock an M33 R2R instead, it's worth confirming fit before assuming it will sit flush, since FiiO's own material doesn't spell out a separate insert for every compatible model. The Retro Box doesn't ship with a power adapter, so it charges from any existing USB-C charger capable of 5V\/2A.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMore Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy the FiiO Retro Box Stands Out\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-In FiiO DAP Dock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolds a compatible FiiO digital audio player (JM21, M21, or M33 R2R) facing forward, turning it into a display piece instead of a pocket device left face-down on a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2+2 Acoustic Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 40mm full-range drivers and two passive radiators sit in separate side-firing chambers for a wider listening sweet spot than a single small speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 6.0 with LDAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreams over SBC or LDAC for higher-resolution Bluetooth playback than a standard SBC-only speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour Sound Presets on One Knob\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single 360° rotary knob controls volume, and a press cycles through HiFi, Retro, Pop, and Warm sound presets without opening an app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"more-info-box\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSB DAC Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnects over USB-C as a driverless USB DAC decoding up to 96kHz\/32-bit, in addition to Bluetooth streaming.\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 FiiO DAP Owner\u003c\/strong\u003e: already has a JM21, M21, or M33 R2R and wants a desktop dock with real amplification instead of the player's own small output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Desk Listener\u003c\/strong\u003e: wants a compact Bluetooth speaker with LDAC support and a physical volume knob rather than app-only controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Retro Design Fan\u003c\/strong\u003e: likes FiiO's cassette-deck-inspired look across its Retro Products line and wants a matching desktop speaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Retro Box is a smaller, battery-powered desktop speaker, distinct from FiiO's SA1 and SP5 active speaker pairs, which use wired stereo pairs with their own DACs and amplifiers for a full two-channel setup.
