Yeah I think @Ultrainferno may make a mistake here. I don’t think LP had ever released a plastic version of the W1/W2. All the units I have seen are metal.

He also mentioned W2 as W1's successor, which is not true. They are both announced at the same time (late 2020). W1 was launched in Dec 2020 and W2 was delayed to Feb 2021 because of performance issue. The first batch of W2 was limited in number and sold out very quickly in China, much faster than L&P had anticipated. Then the 2nd batch only came out over a month later and the third batch was the one that mostly made it oversea (*around April ~ May?) Therefore while it might seen like W2 came out much later than W1, it was all due to delayed / limited production and not because of W2 being a successor of W1.
Fwiw, the male trrs 3.5mm to female rca that came with my m11 pro works perfectly to get a digital S/Pdif signal into my Gungnir MB via a 75 ohm digital cable. Saw some questions regarding the type of adapter. Some other daps from companies other than Fiio use the same setup and adapter for an electrical S/Pdif digital output, so shouldn't be too hard to find one. Don't know if I will ever use this feature, but it does seem to have a lower noise floor and is more transparent than straight from any of the usb ports on that pc. I don't think it's any better than my streamer though, which also is S/pdif out into the Gungnir. Sounds good enough that if my Gungnir needed repair or something I would be OK with it becoming my main dac while I waited. Just another data point folks.

tbh I also thought it was plastic lol, since I'm not good at differentiating hard plastic and aluminium? After reading this, I let my W2 cool down before feeling the difference between the chassis and the screen, the chassis is def more cooling to the touch. But when in use, the whole device is warm so I couldn't tell lol
I wish there was more support for Mac updates for the device.
I got the dongle working with iPhone 13 pro. It doesn’t heat up the dongle like my previous iPhone.
I think I’ll be looking for a more efficient dongle less draining dongle. ( putting mine on sale at the moment. )

I do have an android phone at the side running as an old dap. But I daily the iPhone.
I think my issue comes down to firmware updates that I would have to use parallels or other ways of doing it in Mac.

Although Mac support would be very welcomed by me, I'm so happy with the W2 and the sound it gives me. I don't worry much about updating and have not since receiving mine with 1.0.2 on it. And I'm aware some owners hear a sound improvement with one or more of the updates.
