Two versions for different needs
FiiO offers the TINY in two distinct versions to suit different users. The FiiO TINY A includes a 3.5 mm output and USB-C port that allows audio playback while charging the smartphone – an increasingly rare convenience. The FiiO TINY B features both 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm connections in a single-ended layout, allowing two headphones to play simultaneously for shared listening. Both models are plug-and-play, automatically recognized by most operating systems without drivers, and ready to deliver instant sound upgrades.
High-resolution playback with precise tuning
Despite its compact dimensions, the FiiO TINY supports full Linear PCM up to 384 kHz and 32 Bit as well as DSD256decoding. Its built-in DSP engine provides extensive flexibility for personal sound shaping. Through the FiiO Control app, users gain access to a 10-band parametric equalizer where frequency, gain, and bandwidth can be fine-tuned for precise tonal control. Presets can be stored, shared, or synchronized across devices, making this one of the most customizable pocket-sized DACs available today.
Precision-built design and intuitive functionality
The chassis of the FiiO TINY is milled from a solid block of aluminum, ensuring both rigidity and a premium tactile feel. The T-shaped output arrangement reduces cable strain, while an RGB indicator displays the active sampling rate. Despite its robust metal build, the device remains lightweight and portable enough for everyday use. Compatibility with UAC 1.0 and UAC 2.0 further ensures broad support across devices, including gaming consoles such as the Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation 5.
Versatile companion for music, calls, and gaming
Beyond pure music playback, the FiiO TINY also supports headset microphones and in-line controls, making it suitable for voice calls, online meetings, and gaming sessions. When paired with modern streaming services such as Apple Music, TIDAL, Qobuz, or Spotify Lossless, the adapter transforms even basic smartphones into true Hi-Res playback systems. It’s a simple, effective way to give wired headphones a new life in a wireless-dominated world.
Price and availability
The FiiO TINY is available now in two editions – the TINY A and TINY B – through select online retailers, including Advanced MP3 Players and Amazon. The suggested retail price is around € 25,-, positioning it as one of the most affordable ways to experience genuine Hi-Res sound on the go in 2025.
Conclusion – True HiFi performance in miniature form
With the TINY, FiiO once again proves that advanced audio performance doesn’t have to come with a high price tag. Its combination of DSP tuning, full-metal design, and broad compatibility makes it the ideal everyday companion for anyone seeking better sound from their mobile devices. Whether for commuting, home listening, or gaming, the FiiO TINY brings tangible improvements in sound clarity and dynamics – all from the smallest DAC FiiO has ever made.
