Quick question regarding the sound profiles for specific earphones.

What are they actually doing? I'm sure it's just EQ but is it EQ'ing each earphone (SE846, IE800S) to a specific target?

Also, is there any profile in the works being made for the IE900?

Thanks

Ordered another one of these 😀 I don't really like using dongles (prefer an all in one solution) but I started using 64 tia again and my hibys hissed a bit and my sony hissed a bit more with them.

From memory lp w2 was one of the most quiet sources I've used. It's just a little hiss, but just knowing it's there drives me crazy. Plus I remember it had a really nice 3d type presentation. Should be fun, I plan on running it from my Sony a105 which will probably suck the weak battery pretty good, but will be compact 😉

I'm going to try to put together an interconnect like ClieOS did. That would be sweet.

Nice !
Could you share shopping list ? (especially for short connectors)
And maybe some making tips...
I bet its two of these wired with short interconnects and a modified shorter cover. I agree looks great I may have a go at this myself.

Basic build guide can be found here. Got my parts from Taobao but I'll imagine AliExpress has them as well. Just be careful that the Type-C connecter needs to be 4 pins, OTG and USB2.0 compatible.

Hey guys, for those of you that have the leather case- are the buttons still easy to access with the case on?
Ja, accessible cut out for the controls

Thanks, now have to decide between green and yellow. I love green, but the yellow looks like a bumblebee which is rad 😋

BTW that's a very nice shot of the w2 case. It looks very high quality.
Thank you for complimenting my mediocre iPhone 12 Pro Max skills :blush: I had the same dilemma and picked up both colors 🤭 but I lean more yellow.

Yes, I have green too and is beautiful. Better looking in reality.

Always hard to judge colour by pictures. Especially with other colours in the background. Like shades of doors on houses, the same colour can look completely different depending on the colour of the siding, brickwork, stone, accents etc.

But in this case the w2 is black so green and yellow should look great and they do. Although black is super neutral so it's easy to match.
