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.


What it does not mean:

A lot of our customers assume that it means their order will get delivered to them within 24/48 hours, but that’s not what it means. For an order to reach you, it can take anywhere up to 3-4 business days, depending on which part of India you are placing an order from.

Warm sounding best in class DAC

One of the best DAC I have heard. Driving it with Oriveti Blackbird. Very powerful DAC. The sound quality is way above I was expecting. Very detailed and warm sound. Instrument separation and staging is good. This DAC is capable to driving high quality IEM's.

So glad you’re loving the DAC! Paired with the Oriveti Blackbird, that detailed, warm sound must be a joy. Enjoy every note and the beautiful staging!

Afsal (Kollam)
Perfect DAC to pair with bright sounding IEMs.

This is a DAC with a little warm feel. There is a feeling when listening to a song for a long time using a 4.4mm balanced cable in bit-perfect audio. I get that with this DAC.Even with filter changes in a regular DAC, it is very difficult to tell the difference.In bit-perfect playback, the ONIX alpha xi1's filters can be distinguished. It is better to use a non-oversampling filter. And its soundstage is open and wide.If you listen to music for a long time, I recommend using 4.4mm balanced. I haven't faced any major heating issues. Don't use IEMs with a warm sound.This is the best DAC available under 10k rupees.

Love this detailed insight! Glad the ONIX Alpha Xi1 is delivering that open, enjoyable sound for long sessions. Keep the music playing!

Beutiful singing bird

Build quality is nice and performance is extraordinary. Loe,mid and high frequencies are very sweet. Sound quality quality, sound stage and instrumental separation also very good.

Wonderful to hear! Delighted that you're enjoying the excellent build, performance, and sweet, well-balanced sound across all frequencies.

Powerful and warm. Best for Planars.

I bought it for my kiwi ears aether and this sound so powerful and imaging is out of this world with 4.4 mm balanced cable. Highly recommended.
Loved pairing it with the Sennheiser HD599 as well.

We’re delighted that you loved the product! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

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.

Vivek (Mumbai)
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… 👍

We appreciate your thoughtful review so much! It’s a pleasure to know you’re enjoying the product—thank you for your support!

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.

We’re delighted that you loved the product! Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

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!
