Luxury & Precision (LP) W4, Successor to Their Popular W1/W2 USB Dongle is Here!
Different cutout, if you look at OEM it's slanted cut, exposing good portion of the W4, with aftermarket it's straight cut, covering exposed edges.- Andrew_WOT

If it's this one, it does not, but protection a bit better as there is no cutout on output side. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/luxury-precision-lp-w4-successor-to-their-popular-w1-w2-usb-dongle-is-here.967875/page-49#post-17612100...- Andrew_WOT

Did you enable bit-perfect in UAPP? Sounds like the problem other user had on the previous page, but he doesn't use exclusive mode. Also is it streaming, local files or doesn't matter?- Andrew_WOT

Best portable Bluetooth Dac Amp 2024?
ES100 mk2 is decent but rather outdated BT dongle. Micro-USB with UAC 1.0 limited to 48khz, highly unpopular these days 2.5mm balanced output, and while it does feature dual DAC, it's AKM AK4375A, not the same as dual Sabre ES9219C paired with dual THX AAA-28 amps on Fiio BTR7. BTR7 just sounds...- Andrew_WOT

What would be natural upgrade from HD800?
HE1000V2 is a step up in details, but other than that is just a side step from HD800S, as on grand scale the tonality is essentially the same, if not even more analytical and dry. HE6SE might have better bass and overall a better all arounder IMHO, but details and soundstage are not as great as...- Andrew_WOT

That's non-exclusive mode to you, doubt there are any issues with W4. Try foobar2000, btw did you install Windows driver.- Andrew_WOT

That could be a culprit. Try to switch to WASAPI exclusive in whatever player you are using. On Android phone use UAPP.- Andrew_WOT

What output are you using on PC, WASAPI Exclusive? Pops and clicks could be due to Direct audio or WASAPI shared mode when OS Mixer messing things up.- Andrew_WOT

What would be natural upgrade from HD800?
I didn't feel that HE1000V2 was an upgrade over HD800 as far as bass and overall tonality goes. It was improvement on technicalities, but it felt even "drier" than HD800, would never thought it's possible. HD800 bass when properly amped is fine, if you are looking for bass cannon you won't get...- Andrew_WOT

Multipoint and LDAC are not mutually friendly. Technics EAH-AZ80 manual for instance recommends to disable multipoint if optimizing for Audio Quality.- Andrew_WOT

Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)
W4 is smoother and more delicate, W2 sounds harsher and more "digital" in comparison. The difference is rather nuanced though, not night and day.- Andrew_WOT

That should help, brand new batteries are known for such things. Few recharge cycles after full drain should fix it.- Andrew_WOT

ThieAudio Monarch MKII Experience
Thought W4 is like $449. https://shop.musicteck.com/products/luxury-precision-w4-portable-usb-dac-amp-headphone-amp But either should work, W4 is just so tiny and more of a portable kind, even though I much prefer BT solutions like Fiio BTR7 for on the go.- Andrew_WOT

WASAPI exclusive is part of Windows audio stack, and meant for bit-perfect playback bypassing OS mixer. What Microsoft can do if streaming app does not allow selection of this mode or ASIO.
