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.
