Luxury & Precision (LP) Portable USB DAC/AMP W1 and W2 (The new W2-131 Version is Available, Related Info on Post #1)

Im looking for some good usb c otg cables (I haven't parsed this thread properly to get that info!)

 

[CharlyBrown]

Can anyone confirm if there are any EMI issues with the W2 on iPhone. The Lotoo PAW S1 is great but unusable outside of my house with the EMI issues it has.

Terrible cellular noise with my iPhone 11 Pro. But as soon as I put the phone in flightmode, the „stack“ is dead silent and perfectly enjoyable.

Only one tried which seems to survive to the weighty LP¨hanging (so far).

Ruined two of them, one straight one angled letting W2 hang. If you never let your (LP) dongle hang, they're fine. Had no problem with lighter dongles hanging.

I have an iPhone 11, just the regular model. Almost constant RFI when using it with the leather case attached to the back. Yes, putting it into Airplane Mode stops it dead. Of course, this makes really hard to use Roon around the house.

If you go "commando" and just let it hang loose, then RFI is very minor but still there.

I just ordered W2! Can’t wait to get this next week.

A bit off topic, but may interest android users. I recently reinstalled Neutron to give it a try with W2... well... let's say I don't think I'll use UAPP very much in the future. The difference didn't seem that large with other dongles, but with W2...

Interface is the worst ever though, but as I only use Neutron as an UPNP renderer (Bubbleupnp android app as bridge when commuting, or foobar Neutron UPNP output at desk), not really a problem, once configured, I don't use the interface.

Someone had the same experience comparing UAPP and Neutron sound quality ?

[EDIT] I didn't compare SQ with PEQ tough, will do.

Why? I am not a Roon user but I thought it only needs WiFi and you can safely leave WiFi on as it wouldn’t interfere with your sound. Only cellular makes problems.

So: Flightmode on/Cellular OFF, WiFi/Bluetooth ON

Thanks for pointing this out to me. I always assumed the Airplane Mode prohibited any WiFi. After playing around with it, I discovered that you can turn WiFi on!!

You can also enable the WiFi calling function. That way you won’t even miss any calls.

Someone was wondering about EMI issues with the W2.
I realize that I use it attached between 2 magnets So I will answer "no" on EMI issue.
And maybe I should stop doing that!

Hi, mine arrived today from hifigo. website say pre-order, but i ordered it last week and it arrived within 1 week to germany with direct shipping. no shipping confirmation mail. and no additional customer fees!

I listen now just a little bit more then an hour with my iphone 11 pro and ie800, but this devices is death silence even when the phone rings and is connected to wlan.

Why Luxury & Precision W2 show me always 32b instead of 16b or 24b? Android with UAPP but also in Qobuz and Tidal native apps

Same, regardless of source (iPad, Mac). I think others have explained it's just a display glitch.

I believe DAC displays tend to show the bit capacity of the DAC as opposed to the actual bit depth received - not sure why though. So I don’t think it’s a display glitch. Can anyone elaborate?
