Output power (the need for isodynamic IEMs), detailed sound
PEQ - I want to add some weight and body to the sound without sacrificing the overall quality. the current Bass preset makes the sound unacceptable. It is not necessary to make a smartphone app for this. you can integrate EQ into the current interface of the small display without using a graph, but only numerical valuesin relation to decibels to frequencies.
And please add the option to turn off the display to save power consumption so that the iPhone can play music at maximum volume. i really miss this with my high impedance isoplanar IEMs. If that happens, I'll sell all my DAPs!
Of course, i need some kind of carrying case to wear while listening. A silicone case like the S1 is quite suitable. I'm afraid the leather cover would have to be removed before use, which is inconvenient
@bluestorm1992 I want to 2nd the PEQ suggestion.
My new MEST MKII greatly profit from some slight equing on my digital transport Q1 and a simple 10 band equalizer on W2 with entering numeric values or pushing the buttons to just select +- in steps of 0,5db for each band would really be of a great benefit not needing such devices when e.g playing directly out of Tidal app on IPhone...
Given that there hadn't been a stock update in a while on W2...so just looking at lesser options than W2 at the moment, how does W1 compares to S1 in sound quality/soundstage? Thank you!
I don't know if this has already been posted, but I found a listing for a silicon case for the W1 and W2 posted on eBay. I ordered a clear one and I will report back with photos when I get it.

Is that crazy?
Am experimenting with W2 equ and found the classical music equ to fit best for Hard Rock a la Rage against the machine on MEST MKII hitting with hard slam and taming harsh high freq

In general, I find standard genre based EQ in these dongles are not every useful. Not only do you have target curve preferences differing, but you compound those differences by genre and IEM FR curve differences. The end result is I never like any of the presets. The best and probably hardest EQ to offer is parametric EQ and 11-band rather than 6-band. Probably too costly to offer to the small number of customers that would benefit from it.

I generally agree with what you are saying, it's just that I was searching for some easy solution using streaming services on my iPhone and W2.
MEST MKII needs some equing for my taste, before I have never used any equing on any source.
Especially this equing of streaming clients seems to be like a dead spot for DAPs which mostly only offer PEQ in their native player apps but not a system wide.
Only know of Hiby players filling this gap.
An equable dongle in between like W2 could really fill this gap in the market for a broader audience
Other dongles like my Qudelix could do that too but they don't have the SQ of W2...

W2 on my spare Android phone playing Tidal MQA over UApp on MEST MKII is pure bliss, transparent, airy and punchy.
No need for equing for good recorded music.
Dunno if it is the Android voltage thing or UApp or both but my IPhone can only go to the drawer in comparison
