Majestically Grand, Rock-Solid - Full-Sized, All-Metal Construction, Phenomenal Sound

The S15 features a standard width of 430mm, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with your other equipment in the living room to create a unified audio system. Thanks to its 5 kg all-metal body and stable non-slip feet, it effectively prevents sound degradation caused by vibrations.

7.84-inch Automotive-Grade Large Color Screen, Excellent Usability

With a larger color screen than similar products, combined with a custom Android 12 build that features a custom landscape display system, the display is clear and easy to read. Interacting with the device directly is intuitive, so that it is easy to handle various operations right out of the box. You can directly feel how each touch gets you easily and quickly to where you want.

35w Low-noise Linear Power Supply - Ample Energy Source

The S15 is powered by a custom high-quality low-noise transformer that ensures the purity of the power supplied. It is also equipped with four 4700μF ELNA audio capacitors that serve as an ample power reserve for continuous power.

Cutting-Edge Masterpiece - A Window Into the Future

Everything is covered, A true audio “master”.

• Streaming media: Android 12 + a custom landscape display system means you can freely install many apps and smoothly use them.
• Network streaming: With it being Roon Ready and AirPlay, and capable of DLNA streaming and Bluetooth reception, you can enjoy high-quality streaming music.
• LAN playback: Play music from your NAS/LAN/cloud servers through network protocols including UPNP/SMB/WebDAV.
• Local playback: Besides locally stored music, you can also play files from microSD cards, USB flash drives, portable hard disks, and other devices.
  • * Roon Ready certification is in progress. The specific passing time is subject to FIIO’s official notice.

Precisely Restored Audio, Every Last Detail Present

Dual ACCUSILICON high-performance ultra-low noise femtosecond crystal oscillators.

For the first time, FIIO utilizes two industry-leading ACCUSILICON AS318-B series ultra-low phase noise femtosecond oscillators (45.1584MHz, 49.1520MHz), which have been fully screened. These effectively reduce the impact of phase noise on audio signals, resulting in high levels of decoding fidelity and digital output precision. When paired with high-performance external decoders and amplifiers, you can achieve reference-grade sound.

Proprietary DAPS (Digital Audio Purification System) - No Resampling Throughout

FIIO’s proprietary (DAPS digital audio purification system), composed of a custom Android audio core and a low-jitter clock coprocessor, has been refined over many years. It allows for non-resampled audio globally at both the application and system levels. It can also accurately match various sampling rates of PCM and DSD audio for purer music.

Digital-Analog Separation - Exactly Reproducing the Original Sound

AKM flagship DAC combo AK4191+AK4499EX

Like in the Q15, K9 AKM, and M23, the S15 also utilizes the highly acclaimed AKM flagship DAC combo - AK4191+AK4499EX. This combo is based on a new design that fully separates the digital and analog portions and also incorporates ‘DWA ROUTING Technology’ – all of which enhances signal-to-noise ratio and reduces noise across various amplitudes. The audible result is a cleaner background and improved resolution to deliver a natural, relaxed, and totally unstrained sound.

Fully Balanced Analog Audio Architecture

The S15 uses a fully balanced design, including everything from the DAC decoding to the preamplifier stage. Such a design significantly reduces noise and crosstalk and improves the line and preamp output quality – for which you can choose between fixed or variable gain. The IV, LPF, and other audio sections count on OPA1612 low-noise precision op-amps for high voltage supply to ensure the dynamics in your music are faithfully reproduced.

Physical Partitions and Shielding - Enjoy “Pure” Heavenly Sound

The digital, analog, and power sections are physically separated to prevent mutual interference, which ensures signals are accurately processed and all dynamics within the music are preserved. The end result is that you get to enjoy “pure” heavenly sound.

Precise Power Supply Design

• Separated digital and analog power supplies: This design effectively prevents crosstalk between the analog and digital audio circuits. It also provides better power isolation and interference resistance.
• Multi-stage analog power supply: The analog section is powered by a multi-stage power supply, with precisely divided stages for components like the DAC and LPF. Each stage employs numerous precision low-dropout regulators (LDOs) for secondary regulation to ensure a consistent, stable and pure power supply.

New FIIO OS Custom Landscape Display System

FIIO’s new custom landscape display system is specifically optimized for landscape screens like that found in the S15. It not only sports a clean and intuitive layout, but also boasts enhanced visual effects for a more immersive experience. It can be easily controlled via close-range touch, companion app, or Bluetooth remote, making it effortless to control whichever way you want to.

• Custom landscape version of FiiO Music: A custom version of FiiO Music tailored for the S15’s display provides quick access to various music playback and setting menus. It supports visual audio effects like VU meters for a more pleasant visual experience.
• Customizable home screen: Unlike other streamers, the S15 allows you to greatly customize it. You can freely edit the home screen layout to better suit your needs.
