Some say the S1's 120mW@32Ω output at 4.4mm balanced (and/or its high output impedance) might be too much for sensitive IEMs and advocate the need for an attenuator cable. Is this true?

It DEFINITELY is not. In low gain, I feel the S1 was intended for sensitive IEMs... I barely hear anything on any of my IEMs until I hit a volume of around 35, low gain. Plus, the update 1.0.0.7 decreased the volume in low gain mode, specifically for super sensitive IEMs.

Got my Lotoo Paw S1 today .. the Meenova Lightning to USB-C OTG cable too came in at the same time .. happy to report that this cable works with the S1 with my iPhone 11 Pro Max.

I’m definitely looking forward to checking out the LX with the S1.

I just got an update from DHL and it should be delivered in Monday 14th. That seems ages away.

Edit: I‘ve now just had my import/VAT duty invoice from DHL. Lovely 😢
Did you order from Musicteck? In the EU, I got mine from Wifimedia. I find DHL are especially aggressive when it comes to import fees.

I’ve just had a Lotoo S1 delivered by DHL to the UK from Musicteck USA. The DHL handling fee was £11 which is about €11.89. Personally I wouldn’t consider this that much. The import duties, tax or VAT is set by your government and so DHL, if they are indeed the ones who add this during the process, should only be applying the duty in relation to your country’s tax rules and the customs form attached to the parcel.

Right, that's very reasonable. Very different in Austria.

Wait until you buy LPGT from the States and if price is declared let's say $2800, wait until you find out how much you have to pay custom fees in UK.
So yes the custom fees are high !!
