4.7-inch IPS display
The Fiio JM21 features a 4.7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 750*1334 pixels. 

Dual CS43198 DACs
The Fiio JM21 features two dedicated high-end DACs Cirrus Logic CS43198 and SGM8262 amplification. 
This effectively reduces crosstalk and enables higher quality and purer sound. 

Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset 
Fiio JM21 is equipped with an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (6nm process). 
The new 680 processor used in the media player offers higher CPU performance with lower power consumption and heat generation. 

USB-DAC computer sound card
Connect the device to a computer to use it as a USB-DAC and headphone amplifier. 
The sampling rate is up to 384 kHz/32-bit and is fully powered by the computer. 

Bluetooth chip 
Enjoy your favourite music via a wireless Bluetooth connection with an advanced Bluetooth 5.0 chip that supports SBC/AAC/aptX/aptX HD/LHDC/LDAC Bluetooth encoding. 

Powerful 700 mW + 700 mW outputs
An independent power system with low noise and high current output has been designed specifically for the CS43198 DAC's built-in amplifier. 

3.5mm + 4.4mm headphone outputs
The Fiio JM21 has been upgraded to the more common balanced 4.4mm headphone jack, which provides more reliable and durable connections. 
It also includes a 3.5mm single-sided headphone jack so that it is compatible with the various headphones that you already own. In addition to supporting two headphone outputs, the JM21 also provides a maximum output power of up to 700mW, making it compatible with a wider range of headphones. 

Compact and lightweight design
The low-power features of the 680 processor enable a thinner and lighter product, greatly improving portability.
Combined with two low-power Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips, the JM21 can achieve a stable battery life of over 9 hours (9.5 hours in balanced mode, 12.5 hours in single-ended mode) even with a 2400mAh battery. 
The JM21 features a two-tone frame design with an aluminium alloy middle frame and plastic back cover. This design makes the product appear sleeker. The aluminium alloy middle frame provides sturdy support and protection for the display. 
The plastic back cover was chosen for its light weight and also serves as the battery compartment. The back cover has a bevelled surface for a better grip. 

Entry-level price, premium configuration
The 680 processor is considered a low-end configuration compared to FIIO's mid-to-high-end products (and even the broader music player industry).
In this case, it is a low-end device equipped with a high-end processor. Two CS43198 DAC chips are standard configurations for mid-range portable audio products. 
Some users may compare them to portable USB dongles and assume that their sound quality is similar. However, the two are fundamentally different. One very important point is that the music players have a built-in battery, whose power source and flexibility is much higher than USB dongles, which draw their power from smartphones. This is one reason why the JM21 can deliver up to 700 mW of output power. 
Another point is the digital audio signal path, the player uses the main control chip and FPGA to reduce jitter before the DAC conversion, ensuring a direct signal path with a high correlation to the quality of the source. In contrast, portable USB dongles rely on the USB transmission from the phone via a cable for decoding and amplification, introducing additional factors that can affect the audio signal. 

Various connections and functions
The 3.5mm and 4.4mm headphone outputs also serve as line out (LO) outputs, allowing you to connect external amplifiers or powered speakers. 
In terms of digital outputs, the JM21 supports coaxial and USB digital audio output, providing a digital audio source for connection to higher-quality decoders. 
For the coaxial output, you should use a 3.5mm to RCA adapter, with a maximum sample rate of 384kHz or DSD128. The USB output supports up to 768kHz or DSD512 in exclusive USB audio mode in the FiiO Music App. 
Internally, the JM21 is equipped with two customised femtosecond oscillators that ensure sufficient quality for digital transport. These features make the JM21 a versatile device that can serve multiple purposes and meet different user needs. 

Worry-free purchase, effortless use
Meeting the needs of users has always been FIIO's primary mission. To achieve this, the JM21 not only comes with excellent product configuration and portability, but also with well-thought-out accessories to provide users with hassle-free use. For example, the JM21 comes with a pre-installed PET screen protector and a transparent protective case for comprehensive protection, so you can use the product immediately after unpacking it without worry. 

*Please note: the FiiO JM21 does not support fast charging. It is recommended to use a USB charger with max. 5V-2A for charging.
