"Use the core to make new benefits" continue to explore the potential! Polar WY series upgrade line & 6 series new firmware officially released"
A few years ago, the 7-series new flagship E7, which has been polished for 2 years, came out; after the year, our polar WY1 upgrade line and 6-series DAP new firmware were also launched.
Polar WY1 Upgrade Line
At this stage, the power consumption of the player and small tail is getting higher and higher, and the power of the internal battery or mobile phone is "overstretched", which has led to the emergence of WY series wires, through which the potential of the device and the battery life anxiety can be solved together.
Worry-free power supply, DAP & small tail continue to dive
When high-performance devices such as LP6 use USB DAC or use W4 small tail to connect mobile phones, the power supply is greatly limited (especially the iPhone), so it is impossible to load such a large amount of power, and the sound quality is not as good as connecting to a tablet/PC. Many hifi devices with high nominal thrust on the market cannot achieve nominal power once they are powered by mobile phones. Some large thrusts and small tails are used with iPhones, and the actual effective power can reach half of the nominal capacity. If you use high-quality Y-wire and connect mobile power supply and other equipment with higher power supply current, you can obviously give full play to most of the advantages and greatly improve the actual thrust.
Worry-free battery life, Y-line gameplay solves power consumption anxiety
An independent and pure power supply, with a high-quality Y-line, can not only improve the actual thrust, but also greatly relieve the endurance pressure of the mobile phone. This is the second reason why we launched the Y-line. Many enthusiasts who use small tails feedback that they are always worried about consuming too much power on their mobile phones on weekdays, so they dare not continue. If you use the Y-wire connection method to take power from third-party devices, there will be no additional mobile phone power consumption, thus solving battery life anxiety.
Worry-free quality, more exquisite material selection/design and performance
The WY line adheres to the excellence of Lepi. During the design, we found that if the Y line is line, there are many impurities in the wire core, the internal resistance is high, and the conductivity is average. There will be a current transmission bottleneck. We especially choose a single-strand 114-core single-crystalline copper + single-crystalline copper silver-plated wire base, and use a higher welding standard to achieve an internal resistance as low as 20 milli-ohms per strand, which can bring stronger transient performance to the system and make WY1 more suitable for high-end DAP & small tail.
Interestingly, in the R&D test, we found that Lepi's little tail W4 EX with WY line, because the power consumption of the former is too low and the internal resistance of the latter is too small, it may cause some mobile power supply to automatically cut off because the continuous current is less than 100mA, or simply cannot start. What a happy trouble. Most mobile power supplies can try to press the function key for a long time and enable the small current mode to work normally. Fortunately, only W4EX has this phenomenon at present.
For the convenience of daily use, the total length of Polar WY1 is 30cm, and the official retail price is 499 yuan. For purchase-related inquiries, you can contact local dealer stores
