I won't bother getting one used, you don't know if there is something wrong with it
I advise you to compare with your ears in the future with the W2. because I do not guarantee that the SQ is actually equal, this is just my non-professional hearing. although if you look at the measurements, the E1DA is even better than the W2Okay, I guess I'll get an E1DA instead since w2 is way more expensive and out of stock...
I guess I just can't buy a product from a company that is so bad at naming them.Comparing LPW2 and E1DA 9038sG3 on heavy music I came to conclusion, that they are at the same level of SQ, but W2 sound signature has a warmer (darker) without loss of detail, which leaves my choice for W2, although the usability leaves much to be desired.
E1DA 9038sG3
+ it is stable with the iPhone (you can increase the volume without limit on iOS, with a maximum value even louder than the W2, without additional power)
+ $105
- settings only in app (a special minus for ios users)
LPW2
- max volume on iPhone 90/100 - which is critical for me and high-ohm IEMs
- $300
+ screen availability - change settings on the go
How do you even remember what it's called?
How does the E1DA 9038sG3 compare to the E1DA 9038xG2 or the E1DA 9037xG1?

I guess the new generation is nothing but a refined version. i haven't had experience comparing gen 3 to gen 1/2. but have had experience comparing gen3 S to gen3 D.
D requires more power from the transport, so, doesn't work with the iPhone without additional power, has Single Ended 3.5 output.
S is more powerful at the output, works without additional power, but requires a balanced connection
SQ is identical

Do you have a link to the measurements?I advise you to compare with your ears in the future with the W2. because I do not guarantee that the SQ is actually equal, this is just my non-professional hearing. although if you look at the measurements, the E1DA is even better than the W2

Some of you might be interested in this: a fellow Head-fier made an investigation into MQA.

What adapter is that? Does it have a flexibly short ribbon cable? And do you have something sticky under W2 to hold it attached?
I just received that other 180deg adapter from Ali, works really good with a phone:
and also works OK with small DAPs, but it makes more sense to use it with something like R3 Pro which is almost the size of W2 w/adapter rather than smaller R2 where W2 sticks out.
Btw, someone asked me and I just confirmed that W2 doesn't work with Shanling M0. As soon as I connect W2, M0 powers down. I assume it can't handle the current draw.
Answer to the first two question can be found on the link above the picture.What adapter is that? Does it have a flexibly short ribbon cable? And do you have something sticky under W2 to hold it attached?
Yes, there is some double-sided tape under W2.

Ordered the same adapter from Aliexpress - mine doesn't work at all, Bad luck or maybe to be expected for the low price that some percentage is broken...What adapter is that? Does it have a flexibly short ribbon cable? And do you have something sticky under W2 to hold it attached?

Regarding M0, interesting that my Q1 is working but it has a larger battery than M0....
