Fiio's BTR13 is a budget DAC that lets you easily upgrade your phone audio


The BTR13 costs just $69, but you still get an exhaustive feature-set.

I've always maintained that Fiio is at its best when making budget products; the Chinese audio brand has a great track record in this area, and it manages to deliver value-focused DACs and headsets at a consistent basis. (Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)That means the BTR13 is thicker than its predecessors, but it is still inherently pocketable, and at just 28.6g, you won't even notice you're carrying it with you — that has been the case in my usage. (Image credit: Harish Jonnalagadda / Android Central)There's an integrated menu system, and while you'll need Fiio Control to make the most of the DAC, it isn't mandatory — you can adjust most of the settings from the unit itself, and that's a big plus point.
