I guess it's the tuning as W1 has an enormous output power according to the specsInternal amplifier is a little bit too warm for my liking

And that is why you would want to modify the internal amplifier !!! Keep us updatedI haven't compared it to anything yet but the line out to Romi BX2+ is has a very striking desktop level sound. Internal amplifier is a little bit too warm for my liking (maybe more suitable for treble sensitive people out there) but from line out it sounds amazing. Very very good DAC section.
Oh, gosh! It still wasn't picked up! Delivery is set for Thursday...
@DarginMahkum , have you managed to play DSD in the native mode (with "D" letter displayed near the digital filter number on the W1 small upper screen) in Linux, by the way?
Glad im not the only one havin issues with this. Did you order from hifigo? My shipment has been sitting in HK for 10 days now...

Very nice! Linux is awesome OS. The player should run much cooler and more responsiveI normally use HQPlayer on Linux, but I just tried the DeadBeeF and apparently it does PCM conversion. I will try the HQPlayer - of course no oversampling ButI still need a good music player with a good DAP skin. If I can configure that, it is a killer. Works much better under Linux than Windows.
Suspend / wakeup and display backlight seems to be properly controlled.
Is it possible to install Linux beside Windows on the internal storage to do dual boot? How large is the storage?
It's probably eMMC storage.I would expect that it should work but until now I installed in a microSD card - it was just easier for me to install it on a microSD card on PC as VM, do the configuration and then put it on W1. It has 128 GB internal storage. I need to check what type it is.
Superb! Thanks for the info on a DSD-capable software player for Linux Will try it on my old Linux system. It has quite a list of custom Linux kernel packages for enabling native DSD support though.Playing DSD native via HQPlayer...

@DarginMahkum, do I need to install these ones beside the player itself?

And most importantly, how does DSD sound on W1? Any comparison with DSD playback on Windows?
