This is the second lotoo paw 6000 I have purchased from you. Needless to say I would give this portable unit 10 stars if I could. It does everything that I needed to do long battery life exceptional sound in all the categories.
Lightning fast UI and naturally resolving sound with good dynamics...never been happier with my DAP choice! USB DAC is very useful too! Thanks MusicTeck for the recommendation on this one.
Andrew was a pleasure to work with, helping me find a dap that worked with my needs and met my budget. I am very happy with the Lotoo PAW 6000! It is quick and easy to use, and it sounds excellent. The build quality is top notch and it sounds much cleaner than my go blu I was using before and has a dead silent (black) background. The Eq is easy to use in my opinion and a lot of fun. The bluetooth has worked great for me the odd time I want to stream so no complaints there either. If you don't need streaming capabilities I think you would be hard pressed to find a better dap without paying 2 to 3 times the money. The paw 6000 is an easy 5 stars and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a standalone dap.
I got the PAW 6000 to replace my MK1 Lotoo 5000 that finally gave up the ghost, after 6+ years of heavy use. ( actually still very functional, battery gave up, so wont hold charge) - And actually was just thinking of a replacement 5000, upgrading to the current version, as the quirky UI, I was used to, and the sound I was more than happy with.
But then started thinking about maybe an audio upgrade while at it. I looked at the Paw 6000 as this seems to be gathering great reviews, and my pockets definitely have bottoms in, so have a budget, and the paw 6000 , on top of the stella performance and quality accolades, seems to be a great value unit, plus Musictech seemed to offer the very best price I was able to find, so I contacted Andrew, and bit the bullet.
And extremely happy with the player, very intuitive, and customizable, and sounds beautiful, and a solid feeling unit I can easily see keeping me happy for many years. The whole experience, was fantastic, even my concerns of shipping to Canada were settled, Incredibly fast, reasonable postage. So if considering the PAW 6000, or even Misictech, Id recommend both in a heart beat.
First, GREAT service and fast shipping, no-nonsense customs - Thank you Grace!
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is an excellent value all around! I've had several A&K's, Sony WM1A &1Z, Sony ZX507, Fiio's.,.. overall sound quality and OS speed, battery life make this easily the best value under 2K, in my opinion. The quality of your files (flac or dsd) and the right IEMs or headphones also make the difference, as with any.
Really happy with this purchase, recommend it over A&K, Sony, and Fiio. As soon as I discovered Lotto is a big brand overseas that produces various pro-audio and related items, as well as being the producer of the (legendary) PAW Gold/Touch I decided to try my luck.
So--- A++ build quality, FAST OS (and so easy), great battery life, GREAT EQ! (Spend time with the EQ - it is very configurable), Excellent sound quality (++ better than the AK Cube imo), Gain works great, LINE Out is a plus. I can plug it into my Carver M I AMP with the 4.4 line-out... background and spaces between tracs are just as black as with iem's - never had that with any other DAP.
Received January 31, today is February 4 - ~30 hours on this player already - excellent! I may go for the Gold/Touch soon, if it's that much better than the P6000 I'd guess it is the Reference Player of all.
Lotoo P6000 - CA Andromeda's - Sony Kimber balanced 4.4 cable
Very real, wide sound that is coming at your head in layers. Of course, I'm coming from an entry-mid DAP, the iBasso DX170, where tone is there about 70% and space around the instruments not so much. So, yes, what the audiophiles write about is true: there is more atmosphere and less veiling of sound. Also, the tube hybrid mode is very useful in hearing different perspectives of the sound decay and harmonic partials that the ear picks up, though this may be dependent on the headphones being used. Basically, the tubes add more air and bloom.
This Iem is a little dry, with less bass i expected. However the iem have a good technicality and precision with an ample scene
Very well made cable on top of everything else it sounds extremely good very detailed and warmed!
Obviously if you have a good pair of IEM!
Quite pleasant staging--remarkable. Tonality is very pretty without misconstruing the tonality of instruments--especially midrange 'analogue' sounds that I listen to in classical genres. There is some flattening of sound as you hear it spread across the stage, perhaps opposite of IEM's that congeal sound into more depth/ height like I heard in the Ronin or MU Multiverse Mentor. But if you're not obsessively comparing it to others, you could live with the Aurora's special qualities on its own merits.
I own a pair of Oriolus Szalayi for sometime and they are great IEM’s. I decided to upgrade to the Oriolus Monachaa based on the reviews I had read and the desire for improved performance. I was somewhat skeptical about paying more than twice the price of the Szalayi, that the price increase would provide a significant improvement in sound quality. I had to find out for myself, so I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. After a brief (20 hours) breaking period, I can attest that the improvement in sound quality is very real and well worth
the price paid. The sound stage is much bigger and deeper like being in the room with the players. The frequency response beautifully tuned for a very engaging performance. The bass is deep and articulate, but not over-bearing, it’s there when it needs to be there. The highs are sweet and extended, but not a trace of shrillness. The midrange frequencies produce vocals that are uncongested and mesmerizing. The best purchase I have ever made!
