Introduction

This hobby is often about swings and roundabouts, or indeed wild rollercoaster rides – that being the dramatic and emotional journeys we take – in pursuit of ‘perfection’, we save our cash to move up the audio food chain, often selling already cherished/prized items in our collection… depending on my mood, I can describe this as utter madness, or the love of the hobby – it’s probably a mixture of both. Anyway, you are probably wondering why I’m starting on this note – well this is a direct reference to when I decided to part with my beloved LPGT Ti last year, a sale I pretty quickly regretted even though I was very much in love with my newly acquired Sony 1ZM2 – the LPGT Ti had been an upgrade from the LPGT which I owned and loved previously, and I honestly never thought I would dream of selling the beautiful Ti version – but yet it happened!

When I started to hear murmurs of an LPGT ‘2’ I was of course immediately intrigued, and waited patiently (not really…) to hear more about it. Fast forward to I think sometime in November last, and one morning the news dropped – Lotoo announced the ‘GT2’… mega excited, I quickly rushed to the product page – and then… oh, it has a hump?! – This sentiment was shared by it seemed most who like me were excited about a replacement to the legendary LPGT – the classic simple design that while it had a bit of weight to it, was still a reasonably small device compared to many other flagship DAPs – this new offering had a sort of ‘humpback’ which to be honest, just didn’t look attractive. The logic was clear however, the revised Gold Touch had been given quite an injection of power, sort of like going from a standard BMW 3 Series to an M3, or an Audi A4 to RS4 depending on which German car you prefer! I was definitely disappointed, and while I didn’t proceed with a purchase, I sort of knew it would happen at some point – my appreciation and memories of the LPGT and Ti version still held firm, and it was really a question of ‘when’, not ‘if’.

Later in December, having read impressions from those early adopters, I could no longer resist – even having also just bought the iBasso DX340, I took the plunge on the GT2. There were some shipping issues around Christmas, and I didn’t ultimately get it in my hands for another couple of weeks – but as the saying goes, ‘good things come to those who wait’ – and that certainly rings true, as this review will cover.

I purchased the GT2 from Musicteck at a reduced price in exchange for a review. As always, all of the content in this review is from me, and without any input from Musicteck or Lotoo. I would like to thank Musicteck for the excellent service as always.

About Me

I worked in the consumer electronics industry for a large part of my career and have been passionate about music and technology for as long as I can remember. Even as a small child, I would ask my mum to put records on the turntable (Abba, Supertramp, and Planxty if anyone is curious).

My music preferences are very varied—anything from classical to techno, indie rock to jazz, and everything in between. In my early teens, I was a big fan of bands like The Cure and The Smiths (still am all these years later). I was bitten by the dance music bug in the early 90s, becoming passionate about genres like techno, house, trance, and IDM. I amassed a huge collection of records and CDs, DJing at various parties and occasional pirate radio station slots. Although it remained a hobby, I still own thousands of records, and my trusty Technics 1210 turntables are still going strong 30 years later—a testament to Japanese engineering!

I am not a professional reviewer, just an enthusiast who loves music and the devices we use to listen to it. Over the last few years, I have become obsessed with IEMs and related gear. I've bought and sold many, and kept a select few—ranging from the $20 Moondrop Chu to kilobuck sets like the Aroma Jewel, Oriolus' infamous 'Traillii,' UM Mentor, and various beloved single DDs. Through this exploration, I like to share my thoughts with the Head-Fi community, hoping they might be useful to others. However, remember that this is a highly subjective hobby, and your mileage may vary.

While I've been fortunate to own and try a variety of the TOTL sets on the market, I honestly enjoy lower-priced sets as much - especially as the gap continues to close, many much cheaper sets now offering significant value and further driving diminishing returns.

I’ll admit I do suffer from happy ears—rarely do I find an IEM that I genuinely dislike. At this stage, there are very few truly "bad" IEMs; it all comes down to individual preferences. Since I listen to such a wide variety of genres, I almost always find synergy with some part of my library. Where I tend to deduct marks is in areas like value for money, poor accessories, or an uncomfortable fit—things that can detract from the overall experience.

Unboxing

Lotoo products arrive with the same themed branding, one which I would certainly describe as premium and somewhat understated. The packaging looks and feels high-quality, yet doesn’t scream bling. It has a very tasteful finish to the packaging that certainly injects a sense of excitement for me when I lay my eyes on it!



On removing the outer sleeve, there is an inner box to further open before reaching your new toy GT2 which sits in a soft tray – caution urged here to not let it fall out, as it’s only its weight that keeps it in place.



Accessories

In the box you get:

• Excellent quality leather case (you will definitely want to use this)
• 2 screen protectors – there isn’t one attached out of the box unfortunately (and one of mine arrived cracked… ☹ )
• USB A to USB C cable
• Cleaning cloth (I love the Lotoo cloth!)

Design

Lets get straight to the elephant in the room – the hump. While not the most attractive looking, it is actually very ergonomic once in your hand – the hump actually provides a good grip, and while larger than the original LPGT, I actually find it sits more comfortably in my hand – however not in my pocket as it’s a touch (pardon the pun) too large for the average pocket… and probably too heavy at just shy of 400g. It is a big device, and it is a heavy device, so for the most part, not really a DAP that is truly portable in terms of maybe going out for a walk… I guess it depends on how big your pockets are!



I must note, the device without the case is actually very smooth and as such quite slippy – for this reason I keep the case on at all times… absolutely not taking any chances dropping such a prized possession. I took it off to take photos for this review and the metal feels glorious, but likewise I just don’t feel I’ve sufficient grip. Being made from aerospace-grade aluminium, it should be pretty durable. Also, the 4” screen employs Corning Gorilla Glass 5 so should also be pretty robust but absolutely still advisable to make sure you apply a screen protector.

Above the hump you have the 3.5mm and 4.4mm inputs – these both serve also as a line out option.



The classic and very beautiful volume wheel remains unchanged – this looks and feels stunning, I love the tactile sensation and ‘click’ when you adjust, and the wonderful pulsing light that emits from the underneath – although I had to switch that off, as my wife wanted to know what light was flashing when I listen in bed at night… perhaps I need to get my own room.





The buttons are laid out on the right side and easy to access, both with the case on or off. The power button needs to be held for a few seconds to power on, ensuring you don’t do this accidentally.



On the bottom of the device you have the USB C power input and the SD card port – interestingly this is still a full size SD which at first I thought was odd, but actually in using it is far easier to insert or eject versus microSD in other devices which I often find quite finnicky. So a big thumbs up here for sticking with full size. I’m using a 1.5tb card at the moment, but intend to upgrade to a 2tb soon – I have read of other owners using without issue.



The USB C port also serves as a mean to transfer files, and a USB-DAC – upon connecting the USB cable, the device prompts you to choose what you want to do, most often in my case for transferring files from my laptop which it does without any issues.

A selection of photos to follow that demonstrate the GT2 in hand. Oh and yes, I know my deck needs a varnish... on the list!











User Interface

Important to note here to those of you who might be new to Lotoo – the GT2 or indeed any Lotoo device do not use Android, instead using their own OS (operating system) and this does not feature any streaming services – Lotoo are about local files only, plain and simple… unless you hook up the LPTT device, but even still, that is a solution that allows you stream from another device so if you mostly use streaming services, this device is definitely not for you – if like me you have amassed a large collection of files such as FLAC over the years, this device is absolutely for you.



If you have owned or used the original LPGT, the experience with GT2 is pretty much the same, albeit with the addition of the ability to connect the (excellent) LPTT device which was bundled as a free gift for launch last year, but now sells for $110 – a bargain given that it then allows you to stream to the GT2… I’ll come back to that device later.

The Lotoo UI is incredibly intuitive, fast, and easy to navigate. The device boots up when you power on incredibly quickly (about 3 seconds), and loads the entire contents of your SD card in less than 10 seconds (remember, I have a 1.5tb card loaded up) – so from powered off to on, and playing music in less than 10 seconds.

I recorded a short video to give a quick overview of the UI, and also to illustrate the speed of which it boots.



I am quite old school when it comes to browsing for music on DAPs, even with Android DAPs such as my Sony 1ZM2, I still mostly use the folder methods – I’ve had a system for probably about 20 years now where I create folders for each genre of music, and then often folders for more recently loaded music – for example ‘March 2025’ or something – handy for quickly finding recent additions to my library.



Battery

The 8300mAh battery provides up to 10 hours of playback, this for me feels like a bit of a downside when I compare to my Sony DAPs but I do appreciate it is pretty standard for most DAPs that aren’t Sony basically! I find I probably get close to the advertised 10 hours, or perhaps a bit less. It takes quite a while to charge also, while I’ve not actually timed a charge, I would estimate in the region of 3 hours – again I’ve been spoiled with Sony as the likes of the 1ZM2 only takes about an hour – how do Sony manage this with their batteries?!



Power

The GT2 provides double the power of its predecessor balanced at 1000mW on ‘Super High Gain’. This is a big jump, and even though I’ve not had the LPGT Ti for a number of months, the increase in power is abundantly clear – the GT2 can drive absolutely anything in my collection without breaking a sweat. Single ended provides up to 460mW, so no slouch here but worth noting that the LPGT Ti actually provided more power single ended, with a whopping 700mW if I recall correctly – probably the only DAP on the planet that offers more power single ended?

Accessing the gain settings is easy, as is any function you care to choose on this glorious DAP. Swipe down from up top, and choose either 3.5mm or 4.4mm, and make your selection.

Listening Impressions

I absolutely loved LPGT Ti, and the OG before it. Lotoo are known for the more neutral tuning, that really zoomed in on detail, with a pitch black background and massive stage – with the GT2 you get all of that, and more – first of all the aforementioned power that not only drives more hungry headphones, but provides a huge extra dose of dynamism and an energy that’s delivered with finesse. There is a touch of colour here too – not to the detriment of the neutral tuning per se, it just seems to add a further degree of emotion to the tuning. I did an A/B while listening to the Softears Enigma recently vs the Sony 1ZM2 – there was a noticeable increase to the level of detail and stage size, coupled with a fantastic level of clarity – I still love my gold Sony btw and it’s not going anywhere, but the GT2 takes the top dog spot in my DAP collection.



There is a lift to the bass that is done incredibly well – it has utterly fantastic control, and I find this is really evident while listening to the stunning ‘Composer’ headphones by Austrian Audio where kick drums hit hard with excellent definition and impact – it sounds like I’m listening to a high end desktop solution. Likewise ultra clear, highly detailed and distinct mids, with again wonderful control up top for treble – the GT2 simply shines a spotlight on each element of the tuning of your chosen earphone/headphone/buds. The sense of space, detail, layering is utterly spectacular, and all the while with that super black background. For me the tuning is honestly perfection – a breath-taking combination of the original neutral performance, with that touch of colour and bass lift.



Something relatively unique about the GT2 is that no matter what IEM, buds, or headphones I reach for, the synergy just always seems to be perfect – it’s a DAP that allows basically anything I plug into it sound at what seems to be their best. I don’t think I’ve ever had this with a DAP before.

One of my absolute favourite combinations of late has been the GT2 and Softears Enigma – the Enigma really performs at its very best with the GT2, and I look forward to sharing much deeper thoughts on this fantastic IEM in my next review.

Note - the below case is supplied with Softears Enigma, and actually a perfect case for the GT2 along with space for a set of IEMs and the LTTP accessory.

LTTP

I haven’t really used this up until putting pen to paper recently for this review… however, having now experimented, I can see it getting more of my time.

Incredibly straightforward to use – plug into your phone using the supplied USB C or lightning adaptor, and navigate to the LTTP – it connects very quickly, and voila – you can stream your chosen audio from the phone (or another DAP?!) and listen via the GT2.



I might have liked some sort of visual to show you are streaming but a nitpick really.

Conclusion

Simple and understated, yet elegant and premium - it’s minimal, yet oozes class. Don’t mind the hump, in fact embrace it in all its ergonomic glory, knowing that there is a powerful and highly refined engine under the hood, ready to serve your every listening need. Lotoo managed to retain the impeccable detailed tuning of the original Gold Touch, and add not only significant power, but a touch of colour too that in my experience might win new fans, while continuing to amaze the existing loyal fanbase. In addition, they tastefully tuned the bass to add some extra heft, but still in keeping with the overall finesse.

The only thing that could trigger another emotionally traumatising journey would be the release of a Titanium version (GT2 Ti - it again sounds like an upgraded edition of a powerful sports car!) - a wonderful prospect, but hopefully a couple of years away!

Massive round of applause to Lotoo for this fantastic creation - the beauty is in the beast.

Thanks to Andrew (Musicteck) for his availability and courtesy.

Lotoo GT 2.....story

I did some research. Lotoo in 1999. Already at that time a strong point on professional audio players. Only after many years from their debut, they came out on the market (and were known by the audiophile community) with the Paw Gold. In 2018 the Paw Gold Touch (PGT) was released. More recently is a Titanium version of the LPGT called LPGT (Ti). Which, like its predecessor, received considerable success. It should be noted that LPGT became almost a fixed point among reviewers of almost all audiophile magazines as well as reviewers of the most popular online magazines. LPGT became a reference for its typically very neutral sound. Therefore a "faithful" player both in comparison with other Dap and as a musical reproduction of iem. Lotoo is also known for its very careful production. It is not a brand that releases one Dap after another on the market but sticks to the innovations that it can really bring to the market release of new products. It seems that Lotoo, consciously or not… has “listened” to the audiophile community and its requests, based on the acoustic experience with LPGT and LPGT (Ti).



And so we arrive at today: Lotoo PAW GT2 :

GT2 works with iOS, Windows, Android and MacOS and establishes connectivity with PC, PC MAC, Tablet, and obviously Smartphone.
The conversion system is entrusted to AK4191EQ and AK4499EX (dual) chips. GT2 supports PCM at 768 kHz and DSD512.

Let's say right away that the weight and shape of the chassis have changed. LPGT weighed 311 grams, GT2 weighs 588. GT2 measures 70.8x132.8x32.4, while LPGT was 68.6x119x21. LPGT had a 3.77-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 480x800. GT2 800x480 4 Inch Retina CLD. The battery of LPGT was 5400 mAh, that of GT2 is 8300 mAh. Obviously, the converters have changed. LPGT had AKM4497EQ and AKM 4137EQ. GT2 has AK4191EQ and AK4499EX (dual).

The design of GT2 has changed compared to LPGT. Bigger in all its dimensions, with a curve in the back that accompanies the body of GT2 even if it makes it slightly bulkier than LPGT but still in the average size of the new generation dap. The volume wheel remains very similar to that of LPGT. But the recess on the back makes it easier to increase and decrease the volume. The USB cable housing and the micro-SD port (which supports up to 2 TB) remain unchanged compared to LPGT, as well as the buttons / controls on the left side of the front dap.

Inside the set-up includes 8 PMEQ II generation low phase distortion parametric equalizer :

1) Classic 2) Techno 3) Dance 4) Rock 5) Pop 6) Headphone 7) Jazz 8) Full Bass

5 ATE (studio grade algorithmic audio filters 1) Brighter 2) Dental 3) Far field 4) Sweet 5) Near field.

I am not a fan of the equalization system, but I tried the various default options that GT2 offers. Easily usable as it is quite intuitive, as is LPGT. My favorite setting on PMEQ was “Headphone”. But obviously this is a personal preference, based on a certain type of music. As the type of music changes, the preference changes, also based on personal listening preferences. It is a function that I normally … like to keep OFF.

And in any case, the size and clarity of the new display make it easier and more visible to make the appropriate settings of the equalizer and other functions, such as the type of filter chosen or the view of the band graph and their adjustment.





SOUND:

Let's start from this fundamental and determining factor: Let's go back to the origins: I notice an absolutely neutral sound. Without any coloration, without any predominant or sensational factor. Like LPGT it doesn't give discounts to any IEM. It doesn't add or take away. It remains perfectly neutral. It reproduces exactly what it is fed. Without distinction. Without preferring something specific. It simply REPRODUCES with fidelity. I feel that compared to LPGT it maintains its neutrality intact but probably the decisive step forward in terms of amplification makes it produce an overall fuller, more rocky, heavier sound across the entire sound spectrum. In the low range, in the medium range and in the high range. The bass is authoritative, strong, clear. The mids are very structured, maintaining excellent detail, very good transparency and notable speed. The high range remains for me and for my way of listening, really very beautiful and satisfying. Fast, clear, never sharp, never harsh, never too analytical. Its details never cease to amaze. The separation of the instruments is always of a high level. The soundstage widens more in the presence of LPGT and takes on a form of reproduction similar to that in a theater. Intimate, amber, but still three-dimensional. No note gets lost along the way. Everything remains very well circumscribed.

Comparing it to the LPGT, I would say that the GT2 has a wider soundstage and a noticeably fuller sound. I believe, with little doubt of being wrong, that much of the credit for all the undoubted improvements of the GT2 compared to the LPGT can be attributed to the undeniable increased power of the amplification system. Overall, it has a greater focus, a deeper and wider sound. The change in neutrality remains almost unchanged but the sense of completeness is undeniable. It is as if the GT2 has raised ALL the levels of the LPGT. The characteristics between the two remain the same but the GT2 certainly amplifies every step of the LPGT. The amplification system is the one that suffers most. An example: the LPGT (Ti) that I owned made the Rhapsodio V3 Supreme (planar) sound good and it also made the Campfire Astrolith sound good. GT2 gives it a significant boost, making it sound more structured, with more body, with more granitic quality, all at a lower volume than LPGT needed. In short: If I combined LPGT with an amplification system I obtained part of the benefits that GT2 can give without an amplification system. In my opinion, the 4.4 mm output makes you feel a slightly more amber tone than the 3.5 output. The tone remains on the LPGT line, even if GT2 appears to be much more capable of improving this aspect too with an increase in the body of the sound in the low range, without ever betraying the proverbial neutrality and the tone in the high range appears more fluid and wider. GT2 appears to be a DAP capable of satisfying any need, especially in terms of current delivery. I consider this factor a decisive step forward compared to the still very valid LPGT (Ti).

Comparison :

Oriolus Traillii:

Low Range: GT2 maintains the classic low range of Traillii. I notice a stronger but at the same time clearer bass. Without grain. Slightly more detailed. Just a little less material and warm. There is a hint of greater speed. It gives a very focused sound.

Mid Range: Always articulated, balanced and always in the foreground…being the star of Traillii. The mids with GT2 appear more neutral which does not mean neither backward nor aseptic. But also here as for the low range they are placed more in front of the listener than around. The sound is noticeably more direct, more bold and the neutrality seems to join the lush sound of Traillii in the mid range. The detail is rendered unchanged.

High Range: GT2 gives brio and vivacity to the highs of Traillii. While always keeping them very harmonious. GT2 gives a slight clarity and also here, the sound seems to be more vivid, more present. As if it were a veil inside Traillii. It remains a very coherent and elegant high range.




Noble Viking Ragnar:

Low range: GT2 does not distort Ragnar's low range. It gives it even more openness, the low range seems just right articulated. It adds details and here the sound seems to come from all sides. The listener is placed in the center. It gives a little more clarity or if you like... it gives it a more evident neutrality. All its technicalities and its decay remain unchanged along with the always excellent recovery of details.

Mid range: As for Traillii... it pushes it a little more forward. Always keeping it very neutral. But it gives it a really vivid qualitative touch. But always without losing structure or making it appear too liquid or ethereal. I am not able to differentiate Ragnar's speed from the speed that GT2 gives it. Either we are on that line or GT2 speeds up its speed in a barely perceptible way. The beautiful separation between the instruments remains intact.

High range: Ragnar's highs with GT2 are spectacular. Clear, clear, brilliant… STUNNING. The mid-high range remains equally elegant and never intrusive. Maybe just a little exuberant. But it does so with an elegance that does not tire, that does not leave you perplexed. It is not easy for a dap or a cable to best manage the high range of Viking Ragnar. It takes little to transcend, and instead GT2 seems like a Ferrari that goes 300 km/h without making the slightest noise, without losing its composure in the slightest. I am writing while listening… and I do not feel like removing Ragnar. I could go on forever, but I have to write about Rhapsodio V3.



Rhapsodio V3 Supreme:

Low range: Already present in V3, with GT2 it acquires a better structure. It adds a bit of body, while remaining very clear. Here too the sound seems to be more direct, closer to the listener. Even the mid/low seems to have more consistency. A greater weight of the notes that however does not make anything sound invasive.

Mid range: Well accompanied by the low range. It seems to be slightly overlapped, but I could be wrong. The level of resolution remains very high, and all its details. The voices are rendered at their best and GT2 accompanies the neutrality of the mid range of Rhapsodio V3 well. It gives a sound where musicality and analyticality blend in a satisfying form. There is a lot of air between the notes and the voices have an excellent 3D.

High range: As for Noble Ragnar the representation of the high range remains a crucial point for any DAP. Where it is easy to detect sibilance or excessive clarity. GT2 with its amplification (which I repeat is the star of this GT2 in my opinion), makes the high range of Rhapsodio sound very neutral and balanced. Sharpness, resolution and clarity remain, but the very generous current supply ensures that the GT2 does not struggle to drive this high range correctly, without fatigue or crackles or particularly bright or dry notes. It also leaves the typical technicalities of Rhapsodio unchanged and I have no problem saying that the GT2 does not make you miss a hypothetical DAP/AMP pairing, where in a single chassis GT2 contains the necessary power to manage the planars of Rhapsodio. This impression is also confirmed by the easy driving of Campfire Astrolith that was lent to me for a listen.



Noble Chronicle :

Low Range : GT2 gives Noble Chronicle a great cleanliness. The extension of the low range I think is difficult to achieve with other DAPs. The timbre remains neutral with the correct warmth typical of Chronicle. The dynamics are remarkable. Bass with a lot of body but tight and with a very fast and sculpted decay. I was curious to hear how GT2 would behave in the presence of an "intrigue" of drivers like those used by Chronicle.

Mid Range : The mid range of GT2 with Chronicle is something to be heard more than described. Full sound but at the same time fast with details that are unbelievable in quantity and quality. The voices are transparent but full-bodied and natural. They remain refined, very coherent. There are never any distortions. Although I continue to think that all this is due to the amplification of GT2. All the technicalities remain in full evidence. As if GT2 tends not to distort the sound of an iem, but to take the sound as it is and raise it to a higher level. Here with electronic music GT2 and Chronicle seem made for each other.

High range : GT2 treats the high frequencies with grace and extreme care. It reproduces them as they are, preserving all their main characteristics. Here too ...... it enhances the already very high quality level in Noble Chronicle. The highs flow smoothly but precise, detailed, extremely resolute. It makes the soundstage very extended. Everything remains very very refined, educated, clean. Gt2 / Chronicle borders on absolute qualitative perfection in my opinion. The amount of information that GT2 tends to reproduce as Chronicle emanates them, all remain perfectly unaltered. And that's a great thing. GT2 tends to enhance such a complex iem, keeping the entire sound spectrum within the tracks of perfection. It doesn't miss a beat. Not even in particularly complex musical pieces. It is always there on display. Absolutely perfect work by Lotoo.
We have waited years......but believe me: It is well worth it. Do not be fooled by the very inviting price because I consider GT2 an absolute masterpiece. And I say this as an owner of L&P LP6 Ti.




The Lotoo GT2 is more than a few steps ahead of both LPGT and LPGT (Ti), both of which I have owned. Here significant steps forward are made. The amplification absolutely dominates the scene of this fantastic innovation that is GT2. Really really very well done.
