FiiO CP13 Cassette Player (Black/White)

منتج جميل وسلسل

Comprato per curiosità, avendo ancora molte cassette musicali e nessun riproduttore funzionante.Non avevo grosse aspettative (abituato al mio Sony WMD6) ma devo ammettere che come riproduttore funziona bene e la ricarica da usb-c è molto comoda.Provato sia con le cuffie (riesce a suonare bene con le cuffie a bassa impedenza, con le Sennheiser HD600 ovviamente non ce la fà) che collegato all'impianto stereo. Qualità audio piu che accettabile (stiamo pur sempre parlando di musicassette, con tutti i limiti del supporto), peccato non abbia una uscita di linea per la connessione allo stereo ma si debba utilizzare l'uscita cuffia.Il bluetooth sarebbe un plus per l'uso con cuffie/auricolari, ma usandolo esclusivamente a casa non lo trovo un limite cosi importante

私の勘違いで録音もできると思っていたら再生のみでした。評判の通り再生音はカセットとは思われない音質でとても満足しています。まだデジタル録音のない時代に録り溜めたJAZZのエアーチャックのカセットを聞いて楽しみます。

The Fiio CP13 was promptly delivered and exceptionally well packed.Feel/QualityThe Fiio CP13 is a delight to hold and feels like a well-made quality product. It has a simple design and solid buttons which should hopefully last a long time.OperationThe operation is simple and manual with strong chunky buttons for play, rewind, fast forward & stop. It has an auto stop on play but not on rewind or fast forward so please be aware of this if you have a weak or fragile tape. I found this to my cost when it chewed one of my 1970’s tapes.ConsThere is no button to open the cassette door so this may prove difficult if you have limited manual dexterity.Sound Quality (dependent upon how recorded)The sound quality has proved to be good when replaying my cassettes recorded in the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s (could do with a little more high-end response but that could be my recording) however, 2000’s onwards the quality has been excellent. Please note this can also be dependent on the headphones used. To maintain best sound quality, it is advisable to clean the cassette heads regularly.ConsDue to limited space (the cassette case does not open very far) it is difficult to clean and demagnetize the cassette heads.Earphone SocketI used the Sennheiser CX300 S ear canal headphones and found that if the supplied ear tips did not provide enough bass, you could use ‘Aiivioll’ silicon ear tips instead. I used cheap Philips over ear headphones and they gave excellent bass.When using ear canal headphones, the volume is very good requiring minimal adjustment to increase the volume. This is handy as it saves battery life giving more cassette playing time.Note: If you are using over ear headphones, you will have to drive them a lot more and turn up the volume considerably.ConsUsing ear canal headphones, it is likely that you will have to pull the jack out of the Fiio CP13 headphone socket a fraction (0.5 to 1mm). This was not necessary when using over ear headphones.ChargingBattery life depends upon headphones used and volume selected. Ear canal headphones give at least 9hrs 10mins. Over ear headphones give about 7hrs 45mins.The cassette player gives no warning when it runs out of power – just stops! Thankfully charging is easy and quick in about 2.5hrs.

Este es un walkman con la calidad tal vez mejor que los que se hacían en Japón en los años 80. Solo le faltaría tener Dolby-B para ser perfecto. Sonido analógico del bueno (por supuesto con auriculares buenos o unos buenos altavoces) ya se sabe que en una cadena de dispositivos sonoros, la máxima calidad es la del eslabón más débil. Es una pena que nadie encare la elaboración de buenos boombox, radiocassettes y pletinas con la calidad de antaño, y como demuestra FiiO ya se puede hacer también en China, si se quiere.
