The ‘FiiO QX13’ is a compact digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that combines high-quality audio performance with thoughtful, eco-friendly design. Housed in a fully carbon fiber body made from 21 layers of durable yet lightweight material, the QX13 reduces the need for heavier metals and plastics, lowering its overall environmental impact.

By enabling users to continue using wired headphones—often more durable and longer-lasting than wireless alternatives—the QX13 helps reduce electronic waste. Its USB-C compatibility and support for high-resolution audio formats like “DSD512 and ‘768kHz/32-bit tracks allow users to access top-tier sound without investing in bulky or power-hungry equipment.”

With a power-efficient design and long-lasting build, the QX13 promotes sustainability through longevity and resource efficiency. Its large, hardened 1.99-inch IPS display enhances usability while minimizing the need for frequent replacements, making it a smarter, greener choice for conscious audio enthusiasts.
