Introducing Lotoo PAW GT2

[ecodr]

is it flush or does it stick out to accommodate a think case?

The lighting connector has a raised black collar which sits flush against the phone. So if you have a case protruding out maybe it could be an issue.

Hello there, if you connect a usb c male to male cable from your phone to the GT2 to stream, will it work? I was wondering if you could please give it a try?

thanks so much.
my main reason to buy the gt2 is because of the lttp dongle. I am using the arc pulse case with my 16 pro max (space black) and 16 pro and have attached pictures.
any thoughts if it would fit without having to remove the bottom of the case?

the internet suggests it is protrudes about 1.5mm

LTTP will defo fit just relooked at pics on laptop and there is no issue with your cover.

Can anyone comment on the SQ of the GT 2 compared to WM1ZM2? I'm only listening it with the Jewel. I'm kind of 1 IEM kind of guy.

Just ordered my LPGT2 + LTTP after demoing it. It hits my neutral DAP preferences perfectly. It’s less chonky/heavy than I expected too.

Does anyone know if GT2 has battery passthrough when used as a USB DAC or is the battery always being used?

When I have the LPGT 2 plugged into the computer or phone via USB, it charges the battery. Not sure if that answers your question.

Hey! I forgot that you also owned one haha. Good seeing you here.

I may have phrased the question poorly. Basically, I wanted to know if the dap protects the battery from overcharging by bypassing the battery once fully charged (in USB mode) and using power from the laptop. Similar to Mojo 2’s “intelligent desktop mode”.

Using the pulldown menu, I select "USB DAC" (as opposed to the "Charge" option). As far as I can tell, to listen in USB DAC mode, this is the only way. This enables USB DAC mode and prevents the battery from charging. The battery level stays the same the whole time I'm listening in USB DAC mode, so neither charges or discharges. I think it is a built in feature to prevent battery drain. This has been my experience with it.

Thanks! This is super helpful

No prob! The manual leaves a lot to be figured out by the user. lol

For the life of me I can't get it to actually charge with the "charge" option, at least during playback. It's plugged into an Anker 100W charger with a OWC Thunderbolt 5 cable which should be compatible with every popular charging protocol. However it does not charge if it's playing, only after pausing. I've just let it play and charge and it topped up a whopping 10% and plateaued, no change after 30 minutes. Anyone figured it out?

Mine seems to always charge while connected to my computer via Lightning cable. Just stays at 100%.

I had a similar issue when I first got my GT2, I was using a fast anker usb-c charger (iPhone 14 pro charged to 80% in less than an hr) but it literally took all day to charge. bought a new 200w anker charger and a new belkin boost charge usb-c cable and now its really fast.
