Good to back in Team Lotoo again. I had the Paw 6K, which impressed me greatly, though I also remember some of its quirks. Curious that those quirks still exist on the LPGT Ti (such as the supposedly random algorithm which nevertheless always tends to play the same album...)
Anyway, impressions of the Ti; formidable! A thing of beauty to hold, look at, and hear. The pitch black background is quite eerie, as is the level of transparency and detail. I had to replace several pressings and vinyl rips with other pressings/formats because the Ti exposed their flaws...
But it was worth it. The LO is by far the best I've heard on any DAP, and when paired with a desktop amp, the Ti easily rivals a high-end desktop DAC (couldn't really tell the difference with my Bakoon DAC 9740, tbh).
SE output is excellent. On par with 4.4mm if not even better. SE would be much choice for LO, I think. Oddly, I can't hear SE having more output, despite the specs indicating it does. Anyone have the same impression?
No problem driving a full-size pair of planar headphones, and doing them justice. Kennerton Thror sounding quite sublime.
Definitely not a DAP for everyone, I'd say. But if you value transparency, detail, dynamics, and neutrality, and don't need streaming, I can't imagine there's a better DAP.
