I had this one before replacing it with DD: a bit too long, quite stiff, no strain relief, USB connector on the phone side got completely broken in a few months

Well damn! I should have inquired about it here before buying. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey check out this one from Woo Audio, works great with my E1DA 9038s and Android phone.

I almost bought this one but I wasn't sure about the wire because it looked really stiff. Do you like the cable?

Not sure how to add quotes now.
On new firmware did they add support for iso updating?

Does anyone see a difference in audio quality with the HID KEY turned on or off?

I don't think so, the update is possible only on Windows computers as far as I am aware.

There shouldn't be any difference.
This only controls how the W2 volume is controlled, remotely or locally.
Different story are amp settings like low or high gain, using SE or balanced, respectively tone, filters or eq presets

On both Windows 10 and 7.

What is asynchronous UAC connection mode?

I hope you can appreciate its stiffness in the video I've shot for you. I for sure don't find it stiff at all.

Overall, it's a pretty good cable. A bit expensive, if anything.

Have a look here:

Btw guys, I remember reading someone has paired the W2 with the FD5. How do they pair together? Is an all copper balanced cable neccessary?

 

[utdeep]

That’s cool. Just wish they would implement UAC1 so I could use it with my Nintendo Switch.

Anyone know if this cable will work for the 3.5mm SPDIF port?

That's pretty cool about async being in the W2 - that must be the most major update for the W2?

Yes, at the moment I'm using the lightning cable included with the W2. IIRC, it came default set to High Gain, which I felt was a bit harsh. After maxing out iPhone volume, switching to Low, it sounds perfect at between 72 and 75 vol on the W2. Do you have loudness protection enabled on your iPhone? I'm curious if iOS could be interfering somehow.

Sooooo…I used your settings on low gain and sound is so much better!! I didn’t turn the volume up enough in low gain, but between 70-75 is perfect! Thank you

Yeah, great vid! Thank you. It doesn't look too stiff at all but is much smaller than I thought. We'll see how it goes with the new Fiio cable and if that doesn't work out, I'll try the Woo Audio one.
