What does "ships within 24/48 hours" mean?

In a nutshell, ships within 24/48 hours basically means that your product will be shipped out or dispatched from our warehouse within 24/48 hours after placing the order. It also indicates that the products are readily available at our warehouse and once we receive your order, we dispatch it out at the earliest either on the same day or the next working day depending on when you’ve placed your order.

Powerful and warm. Best for Planars.

Flagship Killer Dac

ONIX AlphaXi1 was an best choice. The Price is little bit higher but worth for it. Has amazing PCM filter and other functions. Design look was great. Wonderful sound quality. Please use it this DAC for higher variant of IEM. You many lose the sound quality while using low budget IEM. You many feel little warm when you use for longtime and High quality FLAC music.

It makes us happy to hear you liked them! We're glad they met your expectations.

Most bang for bucks

I am very happy to Onix AlphaX1. The DAC has PCM filters and some other functions which allows tuning the sound a little bit, but I prefer the non oversampling filter. The 1 custom, Turthhear Hexa and few other IEMs that I have shines with the DAC and I am hearing new things in the songs. It brings that essential smile on the face and satisfaction of making a Right Choice… 👍

Best value in its class

One of the best DAC/AMP for the price.
Great sound, amazing value and power to drive both IEMs and headphones.
The perfect blend of value, sound quality, and power.

VFM Boss!

Its a different tuning with great sense of timbre, thickness and separation. Its rare to achive at this price point. Great value for money. It works wonderfull with v shape and neutral cans or buds. Bass heavy phones may not unlock its true potential as it is itself bit warm tuned without compromising on mids or treble. For me the standout feature is how sub bass comes alive which is kind of missing in my previous purchases. Wonderful tuning, highly recommended!

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and positive review for the ONIX - Alpha XI1. Happy listening!

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

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
