ONIX ALPHA XI1 Portable DAC AMP – Unlocking Audiophile-Grade Sound in a Compact Form at GearyBD

For discerning audiophiles and music enthusiasts who demand the highest quality sound from their portable devices, the ONIX ALPHA XI1 Portable DAC AMP is a revolutionary solution. Born from the collaboration between ONIX and Shanling, two highly respected names in high-fidelity audio, the ONIX ALPHA XI1 packs an impressive array of premium components and features into a remarkably compact “dongle DAC” form factor. It’s designed to bypass the often-limited audio circuitry of smartphones, laptops, and tablets, delivering a pristine and powerful audio signal directly to your headphones or IEMs, allowing you to experience your music with unparalleled clarity, detail, and dynamic range. Discover this powerful audio upgrade in our Portable Audio & DACs category at GearyBD.

The ONIX ALPHA XI1 is engineered for sonic excellence, featuring a premium dual DAC architecture with two top-of-the-line Cirrus Logic CS43198 DAC chips. These flagship-grade DACs are renowned for their exceptional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and ultra-low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N), ensuring an incredibly clean and transparent audio signal. Complementing the DACs are dual SGM8262 headphone amplifier chips, running in a fully balanced setup, providing robust power output.

This tiny beast offers substantial power for its size, delivering up to 180mW (3.5mm single-ended) and a remarkable 500mW (4.4mm balanced) into a 32-ohm load. This high output power allows the Alpha XI1 to effortlessly drive a wide range of headphones, from sensitive in-ear monitors (IEMs) to more demanding full-size planar magnetic headphones, ensuring ample headroom and dynamic performance.

The Alpha XI1 supports a comprehensive range of Hi-Res Audio formats, including PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and native DSD up to DSD256. This high-resolution support means you can enjoy your digital audio files in their purest form, reproducing every nuance and detail the artist intended.

Beyond its powerful internals, the ONIX ALPHA XI1 offers intuitive user control. It features a crisp 0.87-inch monochromatic OLED display, which provides essential information such as the current sampling rate, gain setting, active digital filter, and volume level. This is complemented by a trio of hardware multifunctional buttons for tactile control over volume adjustment, music playback (play/pause, next/previous track), and menu navigation, allowing for direct device control without relying solely on a companion app. For advanced customization, it also supports the Shanling Eddict Player app on Android devices, offering access to various digital filters, gain settings, and channel balance.

True to ONIX’s design philosophy, the Alpha XI1 boasts a striking and premium build. It combines an elaborately machined aerospace-grade aluminum (6061-T6) body with elegant glass and a smooth faux leather back, creating a luxurious “black and gold” aesthetic. Despite its robust construction, it remains incredibly portable, weighing only 38 grams and measuring a compact 64 x 32 x 14 mm.

Connectivity is simple and universal via a standard USB-C port, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with Android and iOS devices (Lightning connector requires a separate Shanling L3 cable), as well as Windows and Mac computers. It even supports use with the Nintendo Switch for an enhanced gaming audio experience. The Alpha XI1 also incorporates ONIX’s self-developed intelligent power-saving technology, which dynamically adjusts internal working conditions to reduce power consumption and heat, ensuring longer battery life for your source device and cooler operation.
