Has anyone compared it to Astell Kern Sp2000 or sp3000 ? Just curious how far away it is… thanks!!
Thank you for your good review. However, please excuse me if my personal listening experience doesn't align with your article. I think there might be two possibilities for this:Hey guys, my full review of the W4 is now online here.
It's actually more than just an W4 review...since so many people asked the same question,
I decided to write it up as a comparative review of the 'Superdongles', the W4 and RU7.
Hope you find something to like and learn, or simply enjoy the read!
Can you send me a link to the album of any artist in this capacity? just a unique opportunity, in fact a useless opportunity.You forgot to mention in the review a unique feature for the W4, with the latest firmware the ability to decode PCM 768 kHz.
From me to you , enjoy.Can you send me a link to the album of any artist in this capacity? just a unique opportunity, in fact a useless opportunity.
I do not know of any label that releases music in this capacity, it is not and never will be, it makes no sense.
Oh, yes, I suspected that it would be this release. I was not convinced, I am sure that 768 kHz will never become mass.From me to you , enjoy.

It was expected, I understood that somehow even the price would not stop you)))After gLer's splendid review, truly made of emotions and with words that only those who love music can find... I couldn't resist and the W4 is on my way home. I didn't get the cover as I didn't get it years ago for the W1... 33 dollars is too much and in my opinion it could have been easily found in the dongle box if they wanted... but it wasn't like that... patience we'll do it at least.
It took you less time to order then I expected, but I am glad you did in the end. You will be very surprised !

I thought something was strange when I saw 768 as an option in Audirvana. I'll update the article, thanks.You forgot to mention in the review a unique feature for the W4, with the latest firmware the ability to decode PCM 768 kHz.
You're welcome Seriously though, great choice. The Yin and Yang of W4 and RU7 really packs a punch. I loved being able to connect them both to my MacBook and just switch between them as needed.Thanks... but that's how I am when I find the rabbit hole I always wait for someone to come and give me a little push... lol

Very hard to compare 1:1 imo.I have compared it with dx320 max and m9+. W4 is a noticeable downgrade. It lacks of notes richness compared to them, details feels plasticky. If i can use arbitrary number, W4 is around 70% of max/m9+.
For me, w4 is the dongle i would be happy to carry around without sacrificing too much SQ.
