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.

I’ve been fortunate to experience a range of IEMs across different price brackets—everything from the lofty Traillii Ti and UM Amber Pearl to the more budget-friendly (and often polarizing) KZ models. My journey with Campfire Audio began when I got the chance to listen to the Ponderosa, an all-BA IEM with an engagingly bombastic sound signature. It instantly hooked me, and I dove deeper into their lineup, falling for the Moon Rover’s unique charm and the Bonneville’s gorgeously immersive mids.
When I heard about their collaboration with Alessandro Cortini, my interest was immediately piqued. After patiently awaiting its release, I can confidently say the Clara has exceeded all expectations.
With its four-driver configuration, the Clara delivers an exceptionally cohesive and dynamic sound. The bass is authoritative and impactful without overpowering the spectrum. Vocals are forward with impressive depth and texture, while the treble is delightfully airy, free from any trace of sibilance. The tuning strikes a fine balance between musicality and tonal accuracy, making it a versatile performer across genres.
It’s a phenomenal all-rounder that handles everything you throw at it with finesse. Bravo to the team at Campfire Audio and Alessandro Cortini for creating something truly special.
And as always thanks for MusicTeck for their outstanding service.
small gripe of no L/R indicators and doesn't say what way they are supposed to go (none of my IEM's have the 2 pin notch so took a bit to figure out orientation)
I don't think any of my IEM's are particullarly sensitive so a cable shouldn't change their sound and I didn't notice a difference
build is fantastic and looks nice though
👉🏻Pros:
😊 Semi custom black acrylic shells with machined aluminum faceplates fit comfortably in my ears and offer excellent ambient isolation.
(Fit is subjective)
😊 Unassuming 2 pin black SPC cable terminated 4.4mm pairs very well sonically.
😊 Very easy to drive.
😊 Reflects the tuning nuances of source devices, but not device fussy.
😊 Well layered mid and sub bass.
😊 Smooth, rich and detailed mids.
😊 Exquisite natural vocals.
😊 Precise airy highs with outstanding micro detail.
😊 While not extremely expansive, the intimate stage fills the head, has a dead silent background, and precise imaging and layering.
👉🏻 Cons:
😔 Semi Custom shell design may present fit challenges for some.
😔 No tolerance for poorly recorded source files.
I owned the original VE EXT back when it was first released.
I really liked the strong bass presence and exceptional detail.
They weren’t exactly V shaped but pretty strong U shape tuning.
Unfortunately I found the highly energetic mids and highs fatiguing during lengthy listens.
It was a hard choice, but I sold them a couple months later.
I was immediately interested when I saw the EXT MKII was being released.
Revised semi custom shell with smaller nozzle diameter
A more refined low frequency range with greater accuracy and detail.
Enhanced mids and vocals clarity and a more balanced presentation.
I couldn’t resist, and have no regrets.
The MKII is without a doubt more refined and better balanced.
I would say it still has a mildly U shaped signature.
The mids energy is deceptive. The super quiet background has virtually no noise, and that makes it easy to push the volume high, without noise or distortion.
At high volumes I can still fatigue over long listening sessions (I am mids sensitive)
There is really no need to push the volume high, every note and nuance of the music is there at moderate volumes.
At moderate volumes it is very easy to engage and drift into the music for lengthy multi hour listening session with no hint of fatigue.
The EXT MKII is definitely a positive improvement over the OG EXT. At least it is for for my preference.
This one’s a keeper and will be with me a very long time.
Well done Vision Ears! 👍🏻
Thank you Andrew and Grace for the always excellent customer service, and providing a source for high quality audio gear.
I received the amplifier and was impressed with the build quality. I was very pleased when I heard the first notes and have been satisfied with my purchase ever since. Music Tec is a great company to do business with.
This little dap sounds incredible. One of the most beautiful sound I ever heard from a little dap. Hard to put it down. Easy to drive hps using the 2.5mm or the 4.4mm output this dap rocks! I've tried with some of my hps like the denon d9200, hifiman ed. X, and just wow...ridiculous good. The bt sennheiser momentum 4 sounded great also, will be bringing it to the gym. It didn't play well with the focal utopia. Also for some reason the denon d7000 3.5mm jack adapter did not work well. It must be easy to drive then. Overall it's a great experience. The UI can be a bit slow at times.
