FIIO 2026 New Product Schedule-By FIIO James-Part 5 Desktop HIFI Players Desktop HIFI player is a product type that FIIO is still developing, and it hasn't brought us any revenue yet. This is also the main reason why the new R7 and S13 models didn't launch as scheduled in 2025. In 2026, our main task is to catch up on our overdue projects. Currently, this series mainly includes the R series for desktop use and the S series for traditional stereo HIFI systems. Although our K15/K17 also have limited streaming and local music playback functions, they are essentially DAC and headphone amplifiers. Therefore, please note that the focus of these two products is different when purchasing. Desktop HIFI DAC/Amplifier/Digital Player All-in-One R7 R2R, expected to be launched in June 2026. R7 R2R is developed based on R7, with no major changes to the appearance and functional interfaces. There are two main differences: 1. The main processor is upgraded from Qualcomm 660 to Qualcomm 680 to improve user experience. 2. The DAC chip is changed to FIIO's self-developed R2R discrete DAC circuit. Currently, as an all-in-one desktop streamer, the vertical touchscreen design offers the best software compatibility and operational experience. If you need an all-in-one desktop device, R7 R2R is still the best choice. Entry-level HIFI Player S13 This model was actually announced last year, and we have completed the exterior design. The reason it wasn't launched later was that the sales of the S15 didn't meet our expectations, and we needed to invest more in user experience, especially since using a mobile phone as the main control device wasn't ideal. We are already restructuring the entire interaction system. Before solving the operational experience issue, we suspended the development of S13. But now a new variable has emerged: memory chip and metal prices have risen sharply, leading to a substantial increase in costs. S13 is priced lower than S15, so the impact of rising material costs is even greater. Therefore, we can't say for sure whether we will still be able to proceed with this project. This is also why I can't give you a specific launch date. And even if we do proceed with development, the launch time would be at the end of the year. Desktop CD Player DP11 DP11 is a desktop CD player, mainly designed to pair with our K series DAC and headphone amplifiers as a CD source for desktop systems. This is also an extension of FIIO's portable CD players. DP11 is positioned as an entry-level product. On the one hand, there are already many mid-to-high-end desktop CD players on the market, offering plenty of options for those who need them. Nevertheless, high-performance and cost-effective desktop CD players are quite rare. On the other hand, FIIO already has excellent DAC and headphone amplifiers like K15, K17, K19, and WARMER in terms of appearance, function, sound quality, and price. Therefore, DP11 only needs to focus on its core functions, keeping hardware costs relatively low. DP11 is planned for release in June 2026. In summary, FIIO's development has always followed the principle of steady progress. We pursue long-term, healthy, and stable development, taking one step at a time. This ensures more robust business operations. Currently, portable products remain FIIO's core business, and we will develop desktop products step by step. We hope you can understand. PS: By the way, FIIO's designed desktop MINI rack will be released soon.
