I think I will finally say goodbye to my mint condition Lotoo Paw Gold Touch. Upgrade fever has hit and I want to try the Fiio R9. I always seem to be using my NW-WM1Z anyway.

What? How can ANY FiiO be an upgrade to a LoToo PAW Touch? Gotta read about the R9…

It's supposed to be powerful for high impedance headphones, but I am already having second thoughts.What? How can ANY FiiO be an upgrade to a LoToo PAW Touch? Gotta read about the R9…

FiiO tend to be good on paper, but sound rather dry and lacking life in my experience. Even their M17 felt oddly lifeless. If I was you, I'd invest the money in a decent portable amp and stack it with the Lotoo for high impedance headphones.It's supposed to be powerful for high impedance headphones, but I am already having second thoughts.

I just pulled the classified ad. I just tinkered with PMEQ and solved my Meze 109 Pro issue. I am not sure what got into me. I do listen to my NW-WM1Z a bunch because the Sony chip does something magical to the mids, but LPGT is a musical beast with amazing resolution and good power. I am hoping that a good all in one will come out.FiiO tend to be good on paper, but sound rather dry and lacking life in my experience. Even their M17 felt oddly lifeless.

That's a good plan. I thought about a Questyle QPM for its optical out to an amplifier. I like 4.4.4mm balanced.

I would highly recommend Mass Kobo 428/475 for 4.4mm balanced connection, which is now fairly easy to get in the US thanks to MusicTeck. Otherwise, I'd recommend the lesser known amps from Utsusemi-Works, such as their Sound Tiger series. Extremely capable and well-tuned amps that have a fantastic synergy with Lotoo (the designer is a big fan of Lotoo and uses them to tune the amps. Lighter and more portable than Mass Kobo (and also notably cheaper) though still packs a tremendous punch. No prob to drive HD800s or full size planars.That's a good plan.

I also realised the error of my ways in listing my LPGT Ti recently and took it back down! Any message I received while it was listed I was genuinely hoping each time that the sale wouldn’t go ahead

I adjusted the PMEQ and now the world is good. I think my ears changed.I also realised the error of my ways in listing my LPGT Ti recently and took it back down! Any message I received while it was listed I was genuinely hoping each time that the sale wouldn’t go ahead

I've never listened to headphones with my LPGT Ti. I always used IEMs. That's about to change because I have a ZMF Bokeh on order, and I intend to use that with the Ti when I'm away from my desktop setup.

One of my favourite combos with the LPGT Ti is the FW10000 via 3.5mm, they really appreciate the extra power.

Has anyone on here paired their Lotoo Paw Gold Touch with Sennheiser HD660S2?
