Can you connect any headphones to this device?

Wow, this is so avant-garde. That’s how you know THX is really awesome because it’s gone from a movie theater sound system to a super successful sound system company with speakers, home theater and headphone equipment too.

Im going to order my soon. Its so awesome that someone maded that good dac/amp for such a cheap price. Im audiophile and I used dragonfly cobalt before which costed more and got way worse hardwarde compared to it.

I live for the THX sound stopping all my senses and putting me in a trance.

I had to research your comment about Mac's needing nothing else besides plugging into the USB-C port. That is not totally correct, you also have to open up Audio Midi controls and then change the sampling rate. However, I am only able to select 384kHz, any above and the sound turns to static. I did get the orange lights, now on the hunt for MQA content to hear the difference in the last two colors!

So my Audeze LCD gx headphones should b ideal?

I have the galaxy 20 Ultra fid you guys get good results with it?

can i use it on my tv using the usb port?

That would be cool if you listen to your favourite songs in THX glory.

Hello THX team! Anxiously awaiting my Onyx that should arrive this week. In terms of hooking it up to the latest iPad Air...which has a USB-C connector...are any additional adaptors needed, or can I plug straight in as you did for the Mac? Thanks!

Will I get any benefit to using this to listening to Spotify off my android device with my DT770 Pro 80 Ohm headphones? Or do I specifically need a different music streaming app?

@THXLtd

3 жыл бұрын

Yes! THX Onyx is compatible with all streaming services including Spotify, and can improve them even if they're not yet streaming hi-res. With your DT770 Pro 80 Ohms, you'll immediately notice the higher voltage swing and higher SPL that THX Onyx can provide. Then over time you'll notice the lack of fatigue that comes from listening with THX Onyx and its AAA amplifier technology. The lack of crossover and intermodulation distortion directly contributes to a fatigue-free experience.

Do you have international shipping? In my case India.

Yes! THX's 3.5mm output can drive the Bose Companion 3's 3.5mm input. To avoid clipping we recommend put Onyx's phone/computer volume very low, then put the Bose Companion 3 volume somewhere between medium-high, then use your phone/computer with Onyx as the system's volume control.

I’ve ordered this in prep for Apple Music’s “Ultra HD” (aka 24/192) audio coming next month. Hopefully THX will update their docs with any relevant information to get the best out of using the Onyx with Apple Music.

When using Onyx with the LG V20, it takes the pure digital from the phone into Onyx and uses the Onyx DAC and amplifier. Therefore it bypasses the LG DAC.

Tidal for Android will play Master files but doesn’t yet support full MQA rendering, so THX Onyx will not display magenta lights

I would also look for something that was actually recorded, mastered, released and transfered in true high res to hear the full potential. You'll have to do some google searching to find what and where. But for instance, an old master of a vinyl of say Fleetwood Mac transferred in a 96kHz 48 bit carrier isn't going to provide any more res over the original recording so really you'll just be listening to the equivalent vinyl that should not be labeled hi res, it should be labeled a master transfer from vinyl and the best quality currently available. You need to find something that was high res from the beginning all the way to Tidal in order to actually hear hi res. Vinyl isn't hi res. CD is closer to hi res, but a direct hi res recording, mastering and transfer is the only true hi res. Everything else is only equivalent to what it was recorded on/with. No amount of over sampling is going to change that because you can't add information that isn't there to begin with. The biggest difference this DAC amp will make and what will cause people to hear an improvement is because the cheap phone DAC/amp won't be a limiting factor anymore. Most stuff on Tidal is just CD quality which fine. Most people can't even hear anything better than 44.1kHz 16 bit CD anyway. There are some small benefits to slight oversampling but that goes beyond the scope of this convo. At least this Onyx will allow it to be unadulterated and that more than enough reasons to buy one of these and a headphone with the Harman curve

Imagine if they show the Sushi Pack in one of the examples.

How could this improve audio with a "GOXLR".. ?

"Hi Steve. THX Onyx must have access to the lightning-to-USB adapter which in turn must have access to your iPhone's lightning port. If you were looking to charge your iPhone at the same time as using THX Onyx in your car, you could use the Apple USB3 camera adapter to do so. However, this adapter only supports THX Onyx while it has a charger connected. To use THX Onyx while mobile, we recommend the slim Apple lightning-to-USB Camera adapter."

Yes! Onyx has plenty of output voltage swing, up to 2 volts rms. DT 880 250 Ohm have sensitivity 106.6 dB/V SPL. So Onyx + DT880 combination can produce up to 112.6 dB SPL which is quite loud and satisfying.

Do you want more from Z623? Onyx! Even louder!

Now make a reasonably priced THX dac/amp using all your newest technology and can do about 2w of output power to headphones. NO, I am not deaf, but I am a cripple. And because of that I am stuck in the living room when using my computer, which means my mother who takes care of me is watching TV. To drown out the TV, I need power. A typical computer motherboard audio isn't loud enough.... I literally need more. My FiiO K9 PRO ESS is about to be sent back to FiiO for repair because its failed on me. IF THX released a unit, I would probably buy it knowing its first party. Then if THX also supports Dolby Atmos and/or DTS surround, it would be killer.

please just make a lightning version

My Onyx quit working less than a year after purchasing it. I tried to find support to resolve the issue, but I didn't find contact information for THX. Can someone from THX help me resolve my issue?

I want to buy/recommend the Onyx but I'm disappointed in the color coding. From what I've read, 16-bit 44.1kHz MP3 and 24-bit 48kHz Lossless would both show blue lights! Is that truly the case? Lossy 16/44.1 should be 1 blue light, 16/44.1 should be 2 blue lights, and 24/44.1 should be 3 blue lights. Then 24/48 should be 1 yellow light, 24/88,96,176 should be 2 yellow lights, and 24/192 or greater should be 3 yellow lights at the very least. The Chord Mojo does a different color for every kHz stream. I would even pay extra to have better color coding like this because it's clearly the only missing feature on this Onyx.

All THX need to make now is some crisp consumer gaming headsets and they will fly off the shelves
