After updating from V.1.0.3.3 to V.1.0.3.6, I still have a connection problem with my Macbook Air M1. Sometimes I need to plug-unplug 10 times to W2 appear on macOS.

Have you tried different cables? You shouldn't have that problem anymore with the latest firmware.
I don't have problems in my W10 notebook, even with a 2m usb-c to usb-a cable.
Its usb 3.0 ports are a bit noisy but still no drop-outs.
On another note, did you guys try upconverting to DSD with your favorite player and outputting to the W2? It gives very interesting results

Speaking of screen, if I’m not mistaken, the new W2-131 will have a 9H hardness front screen or is it the back?
Yeah, with different cables the same problem (with all possible configurations: HID turn off/on, etc). It turns on, but the MacBook does not see it sometimes. There have never been such problems with Lotoo.

^^ Interesting...I have a W2 that is still on firmware that was released in August, I think...sorry, it is at a friend's for the next week or so, so can't check for sure which version, and it works just fine, every time, using a nice braided USB-C to USB-C cable I bought from Monoprice, with my 2021 16" M1Pro Macbook Pro. I updated to Monterey, macOS 12.1 earlier this week and no issues.
Any improvement on SQ with the latest firmware?

Oh I thought W2’s back is carbon fibre, but the 131 is glass panel, no?
Any chance to put our own PEQ presets into the device anytime soon?
That could be the real deal.

Nope, not possible. This is already a great dongle as it is with lots of features, except MQA decoding if you care about it.
But it could be even better with any sort of personal PEQ support (I mean, they add PEQ presets within the firmware upgrades for certain IEMs, it would be great if they allow users to make their own presets and inject them into the device).
I don’t mind about the MQA crap.
It would be a killer feature for any USB dongle to have it, though I suspect the required programing skill to implement one is a bit out of most USB dongle manufacturer's capability.
