Welcome to the club
Did you try with the ZENs?

Yes and it has enough power to drive them, but I think you will prefer the M9 out of it.Did you try with the ZENs?

Better synergy coming up your alley IMO. Eventhough you can play with pre-installed EQ and filters, while not forgetting 2 « tune » settings, the W2 pairs very well with mid-centric and warmish IEMs. The ZEN sound good out of the W2, don’t get me wrong, but I would bet on the M9 and even more on the Sony N3
No unfortunately. I had the latest windows update on my laptop.The driver I sent you did not work? I bet LP will send you the exact same files again.
Pre-installed are « normal, classic, jazz, pop, rock and another one I might have forgotten». The « normal » and the « rock » are my way to-go (based on an approx 2 hours-listening test session yesterday). Worth mentioning are the « tune » option. You can switch between 2 settings and it actually impact the sound restitution a bit, tune 2 being a bit smoother than tune 1. DAC-related filters options are also available. Minor change to my ears, but some might disagree. A welcome setting in any case. A feature I did not tried is EQing via your laptop, having the W2 connected to it. I am looking forward to this feature upon the arrival of my unit.What different EQs for IEMs is on the W2?
Thanks. i ws thinking about the presets for different IEMs?Pre-installed are « normal, classic, jazz, pop, rock and another one I might have forgotten».

How does you think the W2 compared to dethonray honey?Thanks. i ws thinking about the presets for different IEMs?
The other portable gear that I have and have used with Roon include Mojo/Poly, FiiO Q5S, R3 Pro Saber, xDuoo XD05 Plus, and R6 2020.Thanks so much! First one who have tried the W2 with Roon that ive heard of! I dont have any Apple products. I have just used my V40 uptil now, but UAPP with V40 sound better than Roon with V40. Therefore i want an dacamp and just use my samsung tablet as remote insted(or V40).
What other gear have u owned/tried? How good do you think the W2 is with Roon compared to other gear?
With IEMs, do they beat LG?The other portable gear that I have and have used with Roon include Mojo/Poly, FiiO Q5S, R3 Pro Saber, xDuoo XD05 Plus, and R6 2020.
For IEMs, the W2 competes with all of them. With full size cans you may want more power depending on the particular headphone(s) you have.
When the AQ Cobalt came out I bought one but returned it within about a week. The W2 is head & shoulders above that in my opinion.
I’m sure I would be happy with an S1 but I have to say I’m really surprised at how good the W2 is. I will not be returning it .
The fellow Head-Fier and I were talking about that yesterday, interesting question of yours. The H1 definitely is a step up, even without all the features of the W2, but power-and-sound wise it’s another level. The W2 is a « baby » H1 in the sense that it enhances the music experience from your phone or computer. Feed it with single DD, hybrid or BA-only IEMs and the « difference » is there.How does you think the W2 compared to dethonray honey?
LG as in an LG phone? I have no idea as I only use Apple stuff.With IEMs, do they beat LG?

Price/performance ratio makes the W2 a clear winner. In the absolute, H1 is ahead.
