ONIX Tocata XM2: compact Hi‑Fi music player specs, price, and December 2025 release

ONIX has officially unveiled the Tocata XM2, a compact Hi‑Fi music player slated to launch in December 2025 at a price of $439. Built on the Ingenic X2000 platform and running the company’s proprietary operating system, it is positioned with a clear focus on audiophile‑grade sound in a truly pocketable format.

Visually, the Tocata XM2 is a tidy, square device with a 3‑inch 720p OLED display, touch controls, dedicated playback buttons, and a tactile volume wheel. Weighing 140 grams and measuring 82 × 65 × 18 mm, it aims to stay unobtrusive in a pocket. There’s a microSD slot for cards up to 2 TB for local music, while fans of streaming get support for Tidal and Wi‑Fi, plus DLNA and AirPlay for use over a home network. The overall approach suggests ONIX wants everyday carry to be as practical as it is focused on sound.

Wireless features include bidirectional Bluetooth 5.2 with a broad set of popular codecs: LDAC, aptX HD, aptX, SBC, and AAC. That means the player can serve as a source for headphones as well as in other transmission roles. It can also function as a USB DAC and send digital audio over USB, expanding its role into a flexible audio module for a laptop or a desktop setup.

The audio chain centers on a Cirrus Logic CS4308P DAC. ONIX highlights a fully balanced hardware design and provides two headphone outputs: a 3.5 mm jack and a balanced 4.4 mm port. The 4.4 mm output is rated for up to 800 mW into 32 ohms in high gain and up to 200 mW into 32 ohms in low gain, while the 3.5 mm output delivers up to 204 mW into 32 ohms in high gain. The spec sheet also cites low distortion and noise, a 121 dB signal‑to‑noise ratio, and 0.7‑ohm output impedance. On paper, these figures point to a clean, controlled presentation.

Format support covers PCM up to 768 kHz/32‑bit and DSD512. A 3,000 mAh battery with USB‑C charging is rated by the manufacturer for up to 8.5 hours of playback. Remote control is available through the Eddict Player app on a smartphone, and ONIX will offer magnetic cases that let the XM2 snap to a phone—handy for on‑the‑go setups, including use with wireless headphones or external audio devices. It’s a practical touch that plays to the device’s pocket‑first philosophy.
