Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)
I don’t see why not. I can try using the 3.5mm output going into the ALO Continental V5 later this evening. My concern would be emi or rfi given that both experience it with my iPhone.- jonathane40

The Lightning cable that came with the W2 seem to have a very solid connection thought!- jonathane40

I will let you know if the OEAudio sounds better or if it helps with the EMI interference on my iPhone 12 Pro once i get it. It seems that it could take up to 30 days for these cables to arrive to the US. I asked many questions to Musicteck and they answered the following: “We don’t use...- jonathane40

That seems really cool! Do you get any RFI or EMI interference when having W2 right next to your phone? I get it on my iPhone 12 Pro and even the ferrite cable clips don't eliminate it completely. However, I wonder if using a magnetic plate, like on your second link, that covers the entire W2...- jonathane40

Ok, figured out where I could see the resolution of each song on the iPad and iPhone. I am not sure why I didn't see the Losless icon right underneath the bar that shows the progress of the song! When I plug W2 to both devices and the music app is not open, it shows 16B on the W2. As soon as I...- jonathane40

W2 shows the same 32B for all Apple Music tracks through iOS. I have turned on and of the highest setting multiple times but W2 still shows 32B. I wish Apple Music on iOS had a way to check the exact resolution of each file it’s playing. Anyone else having this same issue on iOS? I ask because I...- jonathane40

Why do you like the sound of the Chronos better than the W2? I don’t have experience with that many dac/amps. I only have the NextDrive Spectra X, apple dongle, ALO Continental V5 (only an amp), W2, and the Sony NW-zx300. So far I’m liking W2 a lot. My first impression was how clean it sounds...- jonathane40

Introducing the new Continental V5 portable tube amp
Hi, has anyone been able to find a way to shield Continental V5 in order to avoid RFI EMI interference when using it near a cellphone? It's gotten increasingly more annoying to deal with this as turning on airplane mode won't allow to stream from Apple Music. I also have been using a medium-long...- jonathane40

Yes, I really wanted to get the E1DA 9038s but eventually got the W2 because I mainly use Andromeda which are sensitive and often get hiss out of most sources. I also use the Sony EX1000 and the Sennheiser HD6xx. I would imagine the W2 can provide enough power for the Sennheiser but if not, I...- jonathane40

Thanks for the info! I have never had a L&P product but based on what I have read here and on audiosciencereview, they seem to be on top of things and willing to listen to customers and implement changes quickly! I went from a 27 inch iMac to an M1 MacBook Air and so far it’s been a positive...- jonathane40

I should receive the W2 in a few days so will also try it with my M1 Mac and M1 iPad. I also purchased the OEAudio OEOTG Digital Cable Lightning to USB-C to use the W2 with my iPhone. The guys at Musicteck measured the cables included with the W2 connected to an iPhone and confirmed what was...- jonathane40

Is this issue particular to the W1-W2 or do many USB dac have issues connecting with the M1 macs?- jonathane40

I’m about to purchase the W2 from Musicteck and would like to get a device to measure the current draw when using the OTG cable to connect the W2 to an iPhone. Which device would you recommend for this? I have seen pictures of devices showing the current draw, I just don’t know what they are...- jonathane40
