bluetooth ??

Spec in Applications lists "Bluetooth headphones", which is impossible without battery. Not sure what that means then.

Huge missed opportunity.

I think that’s for the chip, not necessarily W4.

Will be interesting to do all the settings everything just from on volume knob. At least is high quality ALPS

From a chat group: RMB 3999

Just a little over US$580, or realistically around $600 outside of China if that was truly the price. That also easily get you a mid-end DAP all on its own.

What happened to W3?

i'm surprised they went with 4. i thought 4 was unlucky number in chinese culture.

Yeah the price seems crazy. Can buy a brand new iFi Gryphon or a used Chord Mojo 2 with this money.

True, but it really boils down to the quality though. If it does provide comparable sound quality as Mojo 2, then it is justified.

To say that I'm in shock, is to say nothing! This is a very interesting key.
but it's very expensive, even with current capabilities...

 

[Andrew_WOT]

That's a lot for USB only dongle without BT.
Considering other options on the market, must be a big L&P fan or a collector to buy at that price.

Can't wait to read more about it. Very impressed with the W2, so this should be at another level

Within the ball park of the Hiby R6 Pro and Fiio Q7 as well.

Interesting:

That E7 is extremely expensive. I’m guessing that it’s supposed to replace the P6 pro?

Anyway, the way I see it is this: if the W4 matches or exceeds stuff near its price point, then why isn’t it a good buy? It’s more compact than both the ifi Griffon and Mojo 2, has similar driving power, has more intuitive controls than the Mojo and it’s more versatile vs Mojo (can connect it to laptops, smartphones, tablets, actually has a display, actually has usb-c, etc. ). If it has a way to adjust EQ, and brings some of the sound that the P6 Pro is known for then it’s a winner.

One of the things I liked about Luxury & Precision is that their high end products looked luxurious. A rare and beatuiful piece of audio art/collectible. The E7 in its pictures looks like a common mid-fi DAP. Then we have the 4497 chip. It may be implemented with great supporting processing but I wish it had something newer? Better? Different ? Only time will tell.

My W2 is already great for music and movies, if W4 is better even 5-10% and use less power it's a must buy for me.
