I also will use with Odyssey, but basically I don't need that much power and if that's only difference but sound is otherwise same i will be getting the cheapest if any

How is it going with the W4? It sounds too good to put down and come back to write more impressions?

 

[davidmolliere]

So if I understand correctly the case and W4 will magnetically attach to the phone? Does it work well with an Apple MagSafe case?

Now if correct it's really a killer feature

I found, thrown in a drawer, an old Jitterbug Audioquest that I used with the Dragonfly red (with no noticeable difference), do you think it might make sense to connect it to one of these new dacs? Do any of you still use it? How should the audio improve in your opinion? Thank you.
Sorry if I went a bit off-topic.

I wouldn't bother as W2 and W4 I assume are more advanced and don't need anything added to improve the sound output. But the choice is yours, try and see if you find an improvement in sound.

Just pre-ordered the Elf. I really liked the W2 but *really* didn't like how fast it drained my iPhone Mini's battery. This one could be a winner for me!!

Order placed for both W4 and blue leather case.Just as with the W2 that I didn't try before ordering from Musictek , I am confident that L&P have produced another stellar USB DAC that I had to have.

Is the only difference the output power (and related battery drain)? I just saw the pre-order go up and haven't had a chance to read up on this.

I hope some owners can post reviews comparing the sound quality of the W2 to the W4 soon. Would also love to see it compared to the sound quality of the Chord Mojo 2. I like the W2 for its convenience and I know that Golden Sound says it measures really well, but I find it to be a bit dry-sounding. I’ve been thinking my next upgrade would be from the W2 to the Mojo 2, but the W4 has piqued my interest.

It was posted earlier that lower power consumption is only during idle, otherwise it's the same if not higher in BAL mode.

the advertised 50% less power consumption is for idling only

Hey, does the W4 handle MQA (tidal)?

 

[vaporsynthwave]

Wish it had a dedicated line out like the paw S2. also the big lower power consumption marketing push only for it to be during idle is kind of lame. guess I'll have to wait for more sound impressions to pull the trigger

@Damz87 should be able to chime in soon as he’s having both now.

Unfortunately, not. although for such money he must be able to do it.
