Stands to its Name 'Alpha'

Excellent dac,fixed my IEMs to my taste.I m currently using kiwi ears quintet paired with Ifi zen dad v2,it already sounded Excellent, but some instruments used to slightly metallic and some little sharp for my taste.It was very hard for me neglect it due to amazing resolution these IEMs offer,also little bit of texture in the midbass,But I now paired with alpha xl1 using slow roll 2nd filter these iems stopped sounding metallic to very good extent and sharpness it absolutely gone,also now it added more weightin the bass and subbass rumbles more.I think the lacking texture also correct.With no compromise in technically, Soundstage and resolution.Its now perfect for my taste. Worth every penny for me

The Best Ever BUDGET DAC!!

The Power, the imaging and the sound stage in this DAC is far beyond its highly priced competitors. The Built is very solid and looks premium.
It's sound performance is the best in this segment, you can hear macro level details in this DAC. A best example for the BUDGET KING DAC, with all the features

For people who drives it on ios18, it needs a firmware update, available in the official site you can flash it and just plug and enjoy listening to songs on the go.

While using it with my Windows 11, it is not showing what bitrate the audio file is, instead it fixes to the bitrate selected in my PC. Settings -> Sound -> ONIX XI1 -> Sample rate. If i select 24 bit, 192 khz, it indicates yellow for all the songs i played. But when played using mobile it works flawlessly.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for the ONIX - Alpha XI1 DAC. We're thrilled to hear that you find it to be the best budget DAC with its powerful sound and impressive features.

Flagship Killer Dac

Best Dac i ever purchased there was a huge Hype about Onix alpha dac as flagship killer dac in the market.The hype is very true it out performes most high end dongle dacs.it do have small flaws like you cannot use it for phone calls but its a sacrifice you makefor a better quality product
i have Kz zs12pro X IEM which has nearly 12 hybrid drivers before using this dac i use it with a cheap dac where it didnt perform well had to tune using EQualizers still have lacking in performance too much treble sound issues so i purchased this DAc after seeing many reviews on you tube...my experience with this Dac is mind blowing i just uninstalled etc tuning apps and set the filter in this dac to slow filter...then my IEM gave its real potential everything was perfectly Set for best experience...it gave new life to my IEM.power output had no issues it gives morethan enough power to use even high end headphones great product true flagship killer

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review for the ONIX - Alpha XI1. We are also happy to hear that it brought new life to your IEM and that you were able to experience its full potential. Happy listening!
