Guys, can anyone compare W2 to hiby R6 pro? Owned this player, I did not like it on sound.
Please don't forget to repost meI will compare them very soon. Once I get the W2.
@crinacle appears to be just as blessed as I am https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/that is good for YOU in fact - so your ears don't hear the difference - you are BLESSED ! I do hear differences between different IEM's and as frustrating as it is- the expensive ones often really sound better in my ears. It is not a perception - i really can sadly hear the difference. If you don't hear the difference you don't need to bother to spend so much money - so 1:0 for you !
It's like food - some taste it and some don't ... nobody can argue on that level really
Thanks pal, but in fact I don't own the W2 (yet), I was pairing them with my LPGTWhat I believe @jeffhawke wants to say is that he couldn't detect differences when paired to W2 but could hear with other sources.
What I think is often forgotten is the DAC/DAP synergy with IEMs / headphones with factors like impedances etc
I realized it now several times with my Andros that otherwise good rated players sounded off for me such as DX300 which were excellent with my full size Denons.
In fact I also see a relationship to amp implementation and not only DAC section.
Amp section is hard to minimize in such small dongles to keep up with bigger DAPs.
So that might be a bottleneck for some IEM pairings, for sure it will be for full size gear.
See also reference to pairing with C9 high end Amp.
Why some might ask why pairing a 300 bucks dongle to a 2000 bucks amp, if that really works and scales like 75% of full size DAPs, that will be one of the best absolute high end mobile solutions even for full size gear...
Coming back to W2 alone, I find it excellent with my Andros.
Yes I listen in French cause I am french lol but living in Poland...Gosh, he has a lot to say - and you listen to French ? anyway - another Chinese company that produces very good value for money, if I understand his comments correctly.
Lotoo Paw Gold Touch?Thanks pal, but in fact I don't own the W2 (yet), I was pairing them with my LPGT
Yes, the LPGT is a great DAP in terms of sound quality, power, and ticks many of the right boxes. However, when it comes to sheer mobility I'd like to have something light and versatile to carry around where I can also use Tidal or Qobuz, and that's why I am looking at the W2. I have an LG V30, which has an excellent DAC and system chip, but seriously lacks slam, so I'm hoping that a W2 would overcome these shortfalls whereby I would use the V30 as pure transport and streamer, even without Wi-Fi.Lotoo Paw Gold Touch?
Omg, that's supposed to be one of the best DAPs on the market SQ wise.
If you should decide to go for W2 let us know your opinion how much such a DAP scales with your IEM in comparison to W2.
E.g I hear more air and dynamics, even bigger stage and holografy with my DX220 max compared to W2 but that's a brick with the weight of a desktop device. Nothing for on the go.
Besides different DAC chips I believe the class A amp implementation on DX220 Max is responsible for that difference even audible for IEMs and not only full size gear.
If anyone in this thread is having a nice headphone amp I am very interested in how W2 scales when connected through balanced out...
well I cannot really comment on your IEMs as I only have the Andro Golds but just listening to Tidal on Uapp and Tidal native app on my Motorola Android phone.Yes, the LPGT is a great DAP in terms of sound quality, power, and ticks many of the right boxes.

I love EDM. So for my gear, these are my settings on the W2 for EDM: (EQ:Normal and 4.4mm for all):What W2 settings do you use to listen to EDM (if any of you are listening) with your IEMs? For my ears sounds good EQ: normal, FLT: LL fast, Tune: 02
