Designed around the same top-of-the-line Cirrus Logic CS43198 DACs as the highly popular ONIX Alpha XI1. Utilizing a pair of DACs for a fully balanced output, it provides the excellent detailed and energetic sound that made its predecessor a favourite. However, this new model takes performance to the next level by incorporating ONIX's own Class A/B amplification circuit, borrowed directly from their esteemed Miracle integrated amplifier.

This powerful combination delivers over 1.2W of power at 32 Ohms from the balanced output, ensuring it can drive even the most demanding headphones with authority and ease. The sound signature is a masterful blend of ONIX's house sound—known for its warm, analogue-like qualities—with the detail and energy provided by the Cirrus Logic DACs. The result is a presentation that is not just technically proficient but deeply musical and natural, drawing you further into your music collection.

The build quality is immediately apparent, featuring a body CNC-machined from a single piece of aluminium, complemented by tempered glass panels on both the front and back. The gold-plated volume wheel adds a touch of elegance and premium feel. For practical use, it includes hardware buttons for playback control and a UAC 2.0 / UAC 1.0 switch, making it easily compatible with gaming consoles and other devices that require the older standard.
