Designed for Portable Hi-Fi

The XM2 keeps things compact without feeling compromised. Its aluminium construction gives it a solid, premium feel, while the 3-inch touchscreen and physical controls make it easy to use on the move. The rotatable display allows the interface to be adjusted to suit how you hold or position the player.

Powerful Balanced Output

With both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs, the XM2 is ready for a wide range of headphones and IEMs. The balanced output delivers up to 800mW @ 32Ω, giving the player enough power for more demanding listening setups while keeping the device small and portable.

High-Resolution Playback

The XM2 supports PCM up to 768kHz / 32bit and native DSD512, along with a wide range of formats including DSD, DXD, APE, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, ALAC, M4A, OPUS and more.

Flexible Listening Options

Use the XM2 with your own local music library via MicroSD card, stream through Tidal, connect over Wi-Fi with DLNA or AirPlay, or use Bluetooth 5.2 for wireless playback. The XM2 can transmit and receive Bluetooth audio, making it a versatile choice for both wired and wireless listening.

More Than a Portable Player

Thanks to its USB-C functionality, the XM2 can also be used as a USB DAC or USB digital output device. This makes it useful not only as a portable player, but also as a compact source component in a desktop or Hi-Fi setup.
