Description

Introducing the AUDIOCULAR Nexus — one of the best Android DAPs under ₹10,000 in India, engineered for serious audiophiles who demand both streaming freedom and uncompromising sound. This Android 12-based hi-res digital audio player delivers flagship-grade performance in a powerful yet portable design. At its core, dual ESS9018Q2M DAC chipsets are paired with 2×OPA1612 and 2×RT6863D amplifiers – ensuring immense power, exceptional clarity, an expansive soundstage and ultra-low distortion. With a true 4.4mm balanced output delivering up to 500mW and a clean 3.5mm output at 125mW, the Nexus drives everything from sensitive IEMs to demanding headphones effortlessly. Supporting PCM up to 192 kHz/24 bit and native DSD512, it reproduces lossless music with remarkable precision and depth. The MT6762 8-core processor, 4GB RAM and 32GB storage (expandable up to 512GB) ensure smooth, lag-free performance, while Bluetooth 5.0 with LDAC, dual-band Wi-Fi and a vibrant 4.02-inch touchscreen make it a complete portable audio powerhouse for streaming and local playback alike.

NOTE:

Charging: For efficient charging, use the included USB-A to Type-C cable with a 5V/2A charger. This ensures optimal battery performance and the shortest possible charging time.

Battery break-in If you notice rapid battery drain initially, we recommend completing 2–3 full charge cycles. One cycle = charging from 0% to 100%, then allowing it to drain back to 0%. After 2–3 cycles, battery life will stabilise and improve noticeably.

Speaker The AUDIOCULAR Nexus does not include a built-in speaker. Audio output is via the 3.5mm single-ended or 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs.

DUAL ESS9018Q2M DAC ARCHITECTURE FOR TRUE HI-RES PERFORMANCE

At the heart of the AUDIOCULAR Nexus lies a dual ESS9018Q2M DAC configuration engineered to deliver authentic high-resolution sound. This dual-DAC implementation improves channel separation, reduces background noise and enhances dynamic range for superior clarity and precision. With support for PCM up to 192kHz/24bit and native DSD512, the NEXUS reproduces music with exceptional detail, natural tonality and accurate imaging, making it ideal for critical listening sessions.

POWERFUL AMPLIFICATION STAGE WITH DUAL MONO ARCHITECTURE

The Nexus integrates 2×OPA1612 and 2×RT6863D amplifiers to ensure both refinement and power. The 4.4mm balanced output delivers up to 500mW for greater headroom and control, while the 3.5mm single-ended output provides 125mW for efficient earphones. With ultra-low output impedance (<0.5Ω) and selectable high/low gain modes, the Nexus maintains stability, authority and clean dynamics across a wide range of IEMs and headphones.

8-CORE PROCESSOR WITH 4GB RAM DELIVERS SEAMLESS PERFORMANCE

Powered by the MT6762 8-core 2GHz processor, the Nexus ensures smooth navigation and responsive multitasking. The 4GB RAM enables fluid app switching and stable streaming, while the 32GB internal storage provides ample onboard space. The DAP also supports expandable storage up to 512GB, through external TF card. Now, users can carry thousands of high-resolution tracks from their offline library without any limitations.

ANDROID 12 PLATFORM FOR STREAMING FREEDOM AND APP COMPATIBILITY

Running on Android 12, the Nexus offers complete flexibility for modern listeners. Users can install their preferred streaming apps, download music for offline playback and even customize their listening experience without restrictions. The updated Android platform ensures improved app compatibility, enhanced security and smoother UI performance, making the Nexus equally capable for streaming and local playback.

OPTIMIZED 3000MAH BATTERY FOR RELIABLE PORTABLE USE

The built-in 3000mAh battery is designed to support extended listening sessions while maintaining efficient power management. Whether streaming over WiFi, using Bluetooth or playing local high-resolution files, the Nexus remains dependable throughout the day. The USB Type-C interface allows convenient charging and quick connectivity. Users need to keep in mind that this DAP charges efficiently only with a USB-A to Type-C cable, so only use such cable whenever recharging their device. Also, it is recommended to use a 5V 2A charger in order to achieve the best battery performance as well as lowest charging time.

DUAL-BAND WIFI AND LDAC BLUETOOTH 5.0 CONNECTIVITY

Equipped with dual-band WiFi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), the Nexus delivers stable and fast wireless streaming performance. Bluetooth 5.0 support with LDAC, SBC, and AAC ensures high-quality wireless audio transmission with minimal compromise. Whether used as a source for wireless headphones or connected to external devices, the Nexus maintains consistent audio performance.

RETRO INSPIRED DESIGN WITH TACTILE BUTTONS & VOLUME KNOB

The Nexus features a retro-inspired compact chassis that blends classic usability with modern functionality. Physical tactile buttons allow quick playback control without relying solely on the touchscreen, while the precision volume knob provides accurate and satisfying adjustment. This thoughtful design enhances everyday usability and ensures effortless control while on the move.
