Thinking about different TOTL dongles like DFC, S1 and W2 one interesting aspect for decision will be also the used DAC chipset and amp with their different sound properties and the overall dongle implementation.
That's a hot discussion for some time also in the TOTL DAPs threads
DAC/amp
DFC: ES9028Q2M SABRE32 / ESS Sabre 9601 HPA
(Sabre: more reference, bright, transparent)
S1: AKM4377/OPA1622
(AKM: more on warm side, neutral)
W2: 2xCS43198/???
(Cirrus Logic: more laid back and thick but more musical?)
Overall implementation can transform above cliché statements for sure...

It’s funny, like I got trapped in a gravitational well, always thinking I could escape, but being destined to buy one from the first time I read about it! I wonder what other plans head-fi has for my wallet...
I am sorry to hear that and hopefully you will get it working today. Maybe someone can extract that file and post it here in case any of use needs it in the future.
Also you can contact L&P via email and ask for the file yourself? Maybe that will work too. Let us know what exactly have happened.
