• *Some older devices may only support 48kHz input, for which a compatibility mode can be selected in the app for use with these devices
• *44.1kHz is currently upsampled to 88.2kHz
• *Bluetooth upsampling not available

Bluetooth/USB/SPDIF three-in-one - One box for all

The BR13 features Bluetooth, USB, and SPDIF functionality all in one device, allowing you to use it conveniently with various audio devices.

• Bluetooth: Compatible with phones, tablets, laptops, TVs and other Bluetooth transmitting devices.
• USB: USB DAC supports 96kHz/24bit input. Supports UAC1.0 for plug-and-play.
• SPDIF conversion: With the BR13, the optical/coaxial signals from a TV/set-top box/DVD player can be converted into optical/coaxial/RCA output for a home theater experience.
• SPDIF Bypass: Supports optical and coaxial input, saving the hassle of having to plug and unplug cables.

HiFi audio architecture - Perfectly assembled “cores”

The carefully designed “core” foundation of the BR13’s HiFi audio architecture – the Qualcomm QCC5125 Bluetooth chip, ES9018K2M DAC, and TPA1882 op-amp – gives you the freedom to listen to high-quality audio whenever and however you want.

Meticulously designed - A whole system within

The details are what make the BR13 HiFi audio architecture shine:

• Independent 60 levels of volume adjustment, to precisely get your desired volume.
• 5 low-noise LDOs for precise voltage regulation, and a dedicated OVP power management chip for overvoltage protection.
• HiFi-level mute circuit along with a 100MHz crystal oscillator ensures there is almost no impact on the sound when switching the power on and off or when switching between codecs.

A true performance jump - A pristine new world

We spent countless hours fine-tuning and improving the performance of the BR13 – in order to bring you a low noise floor for purer and more immersive home audio and video.

• Noise floor<5uV (A-weighted),
• SNR>112dB
• Non-Bluetooth input: THD+N<0.0008%
• Bluetooth LDAC: THD+N<0.0018%

Dual connections support - Freely switch between devices

The BR13 supports being connected to two Bluetooth transmitting devices at the same time. Conveniently and seamlessly switch between your phone, tablet, or other devices.

Low-latency mode - For immersive gaming or media-watching

The BR13 features a dedicated low-latency mode. Switch to aptX LL priority mode with just one click through the companion app for lower-latency sound for greater immersion, whether you are gaming, binging dramas, or watching movies.
