ONIX OVERTURE XM5
Portable Audio Player
ONIX's first portable player. The XM5 launched to great feedback in the market, comparable in specifications to the Shanling M5 Ultra, yet offering a unique sound experience. Inspired by the Miracle streaming stack, the Overture with the excellent ES9039PRO DAC (digital-to-analog converter) chip, and dual TPA6120A2 amplifiers exceeds 1W @ 32 Ohm output, offering 32bit 768kHz and DSD512 resolution. The sound is dynamic and highly detailed, with vocals being energetic yet smooth. The housing features 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm BAL headphone outputs, with a three-position gain mode in the menu, providing a suitable experience for most earphones and headphones.
The unique, simple, and fast closed operating system is supported by the Ingenic X2000 processor and XMOS XU316 USB chip, perfectly managing high-resolution files. Bluetooth 5.2 connection is possible with aptX HD and LDAC resolutions, alongside Tidal streaming via WiFi 2.4G/5G DLNA or AirPlay, and high-resolution files from a MicroSD card (expandable up to 2TB) can also be enjoyed. The XM5 excels as an USB DAC/AMP as well, pairing with monoblock amplifiers using the appropriate cable.
The unmistakable ONIX design matches with the Overture, Mystic, and Miracle products, the housing is made from CNC milled aluminum. Weighing 275g, the robust and strong black body is elegantly made with a gold-plated volume wheel and four physical buttons, with the fn button being customizable. Behind the 3-inch OLED touchscreen lies a 7000mAh capacity battery, which can last up to 14 hours through the 3.5mm SE output and is rechargeable via the Type-C port.
The XM5 was born to be a portable player, yet it finds its place as part of most home HiFi systems as well. Audiophile users will always find new ways to exploit the Overture's full potential! The Overture's nappa leather protective case is optionally available for purchase.
