Sorry, I'm an Android user so don't really know. But indeed MConnect is excellent if available for Apple.

Yes, you can do bit perfect and 24 bit DNLA streaming on UAPP to GT2.

Thank you both! I'll check it out.

Yup, there's no way around that except doing it manually. With MP3Tag, I recommend connecting it to Discogs which will save some time as the tagging can be automated from within MP3Tag but you still need to locate the specific album. MediaMonkey might be eaiser but I'm too OCD to not oversee everything

Replying to @skcheng because of this daft double posting rule:

- Yes for treble. It's crisp, energetic, and articulate, but never strident. Beautifully done.

- I don't mind the warmth personally, I just hope it doesn't exact pressure on the internals.

- I tried LTTP on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Certainly sounded more robust than Chord Poly. Also using the GT2 as a desktop DAC and works perfectly (I'll be curious to see how it pairs up with new PAW D3 within a desktop setting).

- So your unfixed 3.5mm also doesn't work in line out mode? Does it say, "volume is not adjustable"? If so, it should be adjustable. 4.4mm works perfectly in all modes. I tried with various adapters on 3.5mm. I suspect it's a software bug.

Thanks for highlighting the Paw D3 it’s peaked my interest.

Mconnect is working like a charm! Logged into Tidal and everything.

Thanks again!

Can someone with a GT2 nearby do me a favour. Can you insert any cable - IC or headphone cable or even an adapter - into the 3.5mm plug. Can you please then go to settings, and choose "line out" as output type and "unfixed" as the line out option. See below. Taking any headphones off, can you then adjust the volume dial and tell me what happens? Thank you.

Yeah, I just did this and it says "volume not adjustable". Unfixed LO only works with 4.4mm out.

Thanks. Good to know it's only a software issue. I've told Lotoo and hopefully they'll FW fix it soon.

I have some mixes that I downloaded from youtube in the original format that does not seem to always play on the LPGT2. I get a unsupported format, even though these same files work on just about every other dap including LP p6p and lp6. They are in m4a format (44hz), which is the same as other files that do play fine. When I convert them to wav format, they work fine.

Any idea what might be wrong or how I can troubleshoot this? I can't seem to find a consistent failure mode.

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

works great.

also, i am using tidal with the wireless dongle lttp with an iphone and tidal/qobuz directly from the app. am i getting full high-res / max bit rate using the apps for wireless or does it implement airplay which would suck.

and so i have to use an sd card or can i use a micro sd with an adaptor. i have a 256 from lexar but a 2tb micro sd. from sandisk.

I am noticing some weird behaviour with my GT2 and would be super happy if anyone could try this out at home.
When connecting the GT2 with my iphone via an usb c to usb c cable, it doesnt work. The GT2 shows "USB Audio: Are you sure to enter USB Audio mode?". If I click OK, then my phone will charge for a second, say the device cannot be used, and never play audio on the GT2.
When I connect it with the ubs c to a cable that came with the GT2 (by using an adapter), it works as expected, and I get the "normal" selection of the 4 usb operating modes on the GT2.
Also, connecting other devices via usb c to c works as expected. GT2 firmware is newest, and I tried out different cables/iOS devices.
Am I missing something? Or does anyone else have the same experience?

I've started experiencing a bit of this over the past two days as well. It started with the USB C connection to my PC. The "USB Connect" menu appeared, I selected "USB DAC (computer), then it would engage, but suddenly disconnect. Tried a few times, restarted the GT2 and it did the same thing. Tried selecting "charge" and it did nothing, then I selected USB DAC (phone), using my iPhone 14 Pro and a DDHiFi lightning to USB C cable and it worked. I played a track just to test that it actually worked. Then I switched back to USB DAC (computer) and it worked. By connecting to another device and playing a track, it seems to have fixed the connection issue.

When connecting to my PC using an Earmen short USB C to USB C cable that I have on-hand, I got the same message you mentioned, "USB Audio: Are you sure to enter USB Audio mode?". But there was no pull down menu for "USB Connect". So I unplugged the cable and flipped it around (thinking maybe the cable is directional) and it worked fine.

Seems to be working fine now. Not sure if any of this helps your situation, but at least you know it's not just your device.

i think you may need a otg cable instead of the apple one.

Folks, I've ended up with two GT2 units in different trades. If you're looking for one, look here.

In order to avoid copy / paste, I will just put here link to the summary comparison I made of the LPGT2 and Cayin N8ii against after 2 months with both : https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cay...dac-and-fully-bal-nutube.961041/post-18650402

As a summary, in my view, LPGT2 has great sound, and many advantages.
Yet, I'm still MOST puzzled by the fact such a device seems not to be able to read the files on the proper order. More than 3keuros. Lasting since years...
I'm getting out, too bad !
Note : anyway, definitely great sounding DAP... For those with the patience, or which have already entered the proper order...

My file tags must be perfect because all of my albums show up just like I want them.

 

[Nostoi]

Thanks. I'm really considering buying the GT2 since it has variable line-out and it seems to be very transparent and neutral. Also Utsusemi Works is realeasing a new Amp, SOUND TIGER Type-L, specifically made for Lotoo DAPs.

I can now share some impressions on GT2 and Type-L here. Cheers!

Good to see you in the GT2 camp, fair to say it was inevitable?!

I’ve been hovering over both M1 and MV1 for a while - which do you prefer? Leaning a bit more towards M1 as I think I’d like another closed back.
