FiiO launched the FiiO EA13, a full-size integrated vacuum-tube amplifier, through its website on 26 August 2026. The EA13 is the company’s first pure-tube amplifier. Its announced retail price for China is 3,999 yuan. Maximum speaker output is rated at 28W per channel when connected to an 8-ohm load.
The amplifier’s output stage uses a push-pull arrangement configured for pure Class A operation in pentode mode. Preamplification is handled by two Sylvania new-old-stock PCF80 valves. The power section uses four JJ Electronic EL34 valves, completing the six-tube complement. Automatic standby activates after 30 minutes without an input signal.
At a THD+N level below 1%, the EA13’s speaker output provides 18W per channel into either 4-ohm or 8-ohm loads. The EA13’s speaker frequency response covers 20Hz to 60kHz. The headphone circuit delivers 185mW per channel into a 300-ohm load and 60mW per channel into a 32-ohm load. The recommended load range for headphones extends from 16 to 300 ohms, and the associated frequency response covers 20Hz to 65kHz.
The EA13 offers four stereo RCA inputs for connection to analogue source components. For loudspeakers, separate sets of binding posts serve 4-ohm and 8-ohm output connections. A 6.35mm single-ended headphone output provides the amplifier’s wired listening connection. A 12V trigger input is also included among the amplifier’s connections.
The full-size EA13 uses a chassis with approximate external dimensions of 430 × 339 × 145mm. The complete amplifier has an approximate weight of 17.7kg.
