Maybe I missed this part and can't seem to find it but is this cable any good?

I remember mentioned the similar ddhifi one to be not that reliable.

This gets recommended quite often, yes. I have the DDHifi cable and nothing to complain about it btw…

Nice, thanks! I'll try that one then.

Been listening to Apple music today. Sounds great for lossless but not sure if enjoying the Dolby Atmos.
Also thanks to foofighter, I changes the w2 to slow and tune to 1 and enjoying it.
Thinking now I might need to upgrade earphones. Waiting on a balanced cable from vesperaudio for the phonaks 232.. Wondering thou if newer earphones would have been better use of money. Thinking that something like moondrop blessing 3 dusk would be a good upgrade?
Plus wondering how others are securing the W2 or do you just let it dangle? Thinking of finding a good case that they both will fit in. Bought a cheapie from walmart but looking for other ideals.

I think some people got this.

I like W2 but getting phone charged 3+ times a day for it is unbearable. I decided to listen to my Cascades 15 minutes ago, and 8% are gone already :/

Get an android phone with huge battery.

The only one with large battery, 256+ gb and wireless charging seems to be S21 Ultra, I'd better buy DX300 for this money then)

Been enjoying apple lossless.

Though when I play 24b/96k music, on W2 it displays 16b/44.1k. Is this because I’m using a 3.5mm output? Has anyone had issues like this before?

That's the standard CD quality sample rate.
Analogue output type has nothing to do with it.
Though I haven't tried Apple Music HD yet, this rather sounds like your source file isn't hires

It does display it’s hi-res lossless and 24b/96k.. the file size is over 100mb as well so I’m pretty sure it’s the right file source.. Will have to look more into it and see what’s up I guess

What tracks are you listening to? I don’t seem to have found many 24b/96k tracks on Apple Music, and would love to try some.

Well I was literally just typing in hi-res lossless on apple music and was trying somebody else’s playlist. I found that there are not a lot of hi-res lossless and most of the tracks I found were just regular lossless, which it still displays as 16b/44.1k ALAC on my macbook. So I guess lossless is just same as CD quality?

This is the price we pay for the amount of power the W2 provides. If you can get by with less power and aren't interested in future-proofing your DAC and Amp needs, then another dongle might be better suited, but you can't expect a dongle that serves 256Mw of power to not draw so much voltage from your phone. Like most others are suggesting, invest in a better phone with a larger battery (preferably fast charging capable as well)

This is the phone I rock and no issues with battery drain when listening to W2
