Hi all! Selling my L&P W2. Comes with original papers, original cables, and an extra (much more reliable!) lightning to USB c cable. Missing the original usb a to c dongle. I am the original owner and it is in great shape. Selling because I have switched over to a DAP—but this sounds amazing...- tisquinn

Hi all, Looking to sell my Andros for $600 OBO—price includes paypal fees and shipping (with insurance). These are the third iteration of the original design. They were always kept in their case and babied—although I often didn't put each monitor in its little scratch-proof pouch, so they have...- tisquinn

Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)
The W2 does not have a line out option; so if you are getting an analogue signal out of the unit, it will always have gone through the amp phase of the circuit. (Put another way, there is no way to bypass the amp and just use it as a dac.) On the W2 there is an option (called "HID Key"—no idea...- tisquinn

this may be a somewhat annoying answer, but fwiw, I would caution you against asking the question in those terms. You should pick the IEMs that make the most sense for your personal taste, the music you listen to, whether they fit your ears (a real consideration with the IER Z1R according to...- tisquinn

Just out of curiosity—why run it on high gain and low volume instead of low gain and higher volume? Does it drive the Z1R better on high gain?- tisquinn

How old are your Nios? Sorry they’ve had issues! Fwiw (not much since I’m not an engineer!) there are a lot of smaller things that could be going wrong besides a driver failure. Hopefully it’s something easy!- tisquinn

Yeah, they were definitely going to make sure it worked out in the end, even if the journey there wasn’t what I hoped! Also their repairs are way way less than the discount in price, so even worse case scenario something happens out of warranty, it’s again inconvenient but still a savings...- tisquinn

OK—final update on my long Nio B-stock journey. Quick recap: I got the B-stocks, they looked (literally) flawless, but it emerged that the right monitor had a bad socket and would occasionally lose about half its volume. (I wouldn't be surprised if this socket problem is common given the way the...- tisquinn

Has L&P told us what the different EQ settings are? Is there handy set of graphs? Sorry if this has already been asked a bazillion times. I tend to be skeptical of genre-specific EQs. I'm hoping one of the EQ settings might have a very mild bass shelf, but hopes are not high.- tisquinn

I think probably best for me to just give it up, lol. The hypothetical was not supposed to be the question; it was just my (clearly not great) way of trying to get at the real question: does a balanced cable help only inasmuch as it allows the transducers to plug in to what in some amps is a...- tisquinn

Right—of course you'd hear them through the IEM. But (and maybe I'm just not getting it) I still think the thrust of my question is being missed. It still sounds like what you are talking about is that a balanced cable can help an IEM get sound out of the output that, on a given amp or DAP, is...- tisquinn

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Thanks for the answer! I might be misunderstanding, but it sounds like all these benefits/differences are on the side of the amp—that in many amps (and DAPs), the output from the SE and Balanced source can vary. I was wondering if, abstracting from the amp itself, there is any difference on the...- tisquinn

The Official 64 Audio Thread | apex & tia Technologies
Am I right in thinking that while a given amp or DAP might exhibit a difference between its balanced and unbalanced outputs, the difference between balanced and unbalanced won't a difference with the IEM itself since the power needs are lower? Or do you perceive an improvement in using balanced...- tisquinn

Is there a consensus on the best way to get the W2 and a phone in a pocket without regular interuptions? My current dongle setup (iphone to over-priced apple cable to dragonfly red) is really good in that I never hear any interruptions at all, but on an old phone, I would get tons of...- tisquinn

Are thicker IEM cables comfortable?
Hi all, I'm thinking of grabbing an aftermarket cable because I need a different termination than came on the stock cable. I am wondering whether I should get a 4, 6 or even 8 braided cable. The latter look cool! (I doubt I'll be able to notice any sonic differences.) But I was wondering if the...- tisquinn

Cables with Memory Wire?
Probably not what you're looking for (especially since your signature makes it sound like you probably already have one!) but the 64 audio premium cable has memory wire. Shure's cables do, too. But obviously both are stock. -
