ONIX WALTZ XM10 LTD
Portable Audio Player
The ONIX Waltz XM10 Ltd is the brand's first standalone Android-based player. The original XM10 debuted as the top element of the Miracle stack player system, and the Waltz version surpasses similarly priced players on the market with an Android system and a thin yet robust stainless steel case alongside a flagship AKM DAC (digital-to-analog converter) chip. The open Android 13 operating system is paired with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, 6GB RAM, and 128GB ROM storage, which can be expanded with a MicroSD card (up to 2TB).
With its 11.5mm thickness and 6” 2160x1080 Full HD touchscreen, which strongly resembles smartphones, the XM10 Waltz is one of the thinnest audio players in our lineup. The housing includes 6 physical buttons to facilitate simple music control. The combined 3.5mm SE jack can actually be used as a 4.4mm balanced output with the help of a special adapter available separately. (Besides ONIX's own adapter, the Shanling M0 Pro Balanced adapter is also suitable for this purpose.) The two-way Bluetooth 5.0 connection can receive and transmit signals in LDAC quality. Additionally, wireless streaming is supported by WiFi 2.4G/5G, DLNA and AirPlay compatibility. The 4300 mAh battery is rechargeable via USB-C and provides up to 9 hours of playback time.
The XM10 Waltz is an excellent compact portable component of a high-resolution streaming center, which stands alone as a worthy competitor to the most powerful portable players. The player measures 158x77x11.5mm and weighs 338g.
