I own several DAPs, they just can't beat the convivence of dongles. So I bought several, from $100 ones to $400 ones. W4 is probably the only dongle you need. I also have the W2, bought from MusicTeck as well. W4 is an improvement from every aspect of W2: better details, lower power consumption, higher output power, more expanded stage. The W2 is still a very good device. But the fact that it is discontinued right now and there is W4 existing makes W2 an obvious inferior choice to W4. If you have the budget for W4, or simply want to try the best that a dongle could offer, you will not be disappointed by this device. Also, this dongle is beautifully made, the original leather case is very pretty too.
Like always, MusicTeck is a great website to buy from. Shipment is always so fast and more importantly, the packaging is really nice: always wrapped in bubbles and tightly sealed.
It's been a long time since I was really impressed by some DAC products after 9038pro and AK4499 came out and flipped the desktop DAC market. Yeah, for the portable side of the game, an implementation based on CS43131 is also a significant improvement but somewhat underwhelming without reaching the threshold of theoretically comprehensible optimum. Kudos to L&P for striving above and beyond, even doing their own SIP to present the best CS43131 implementation with a measured SINAD of over 119 dB.
P.S. The leather case is kind of underwhelming compared to the device.
First, the shipping via DHL is escellent.
And, now, via Iphone+Roon ARC, the sound of a 300 ohms earbuds is perfect to my ears, at the good level.
The L&P sound is there !
I own the LP6ti7AE and my listening pleasure continues with the W4.
The same universe, analog and bright, precise and harmonious.
Stellar spec'ed dongle and MusicTeck shipped it to Europe really fast.
I am big fan of a good sound on the go in a small form factor.That's why I decided to buy another USB dongle. Before I had Lotoo Paw S1 and L&P W2.The first one was quite weak for the sound I was looking for but the W2 was a great success.
I am saying that I was, because now I have purchased from this great website the flagship L&P W4.
This is 10% or more better then the W2 in every single aspect including instrument separation, details, soundstage, sub bass.
I can't compare it with the other high end RU7 as I haven't heard it, but the W4 is very detailed, neutral with a black background, it uses very little battery power from your phone and is very powerful for it's size.
I really recommend it to anyone that is interested in quality powerful sound in a small device.
Everything about it’s functionality is top notch for the cost.
Its system wide PEQ is worth its weight in gold.
My only complaint is a preventable one. The screen is insanely prone to scuffs and scratches. It may as well be plastic.
I should’ve used the provided screen protector. LESSON LEARNED.
I will be ordering a 2nd unit and gifting this one to my 12 year old daughter who rocks the Dunu SA6.
As always, ordering from here is a breeze and customer service is the best in the business.
I am a very happy and loyal customer.
As an enthusiastic Elysian Pilgrim Noir fan, I was anxious to get my hands on the Apostle, especially after reading a couple of early 5-star reviews, so I did a blind buy to get the early bird discount and I have not been disappointed. As the Noir, IMO, is one of the best neutral sounding IEMs available under a kilobuck, the Apostle adds a bit of everything to that for its higher price: deeper & more impactful bass, better imaging & layering, a great soundstage, a bit better tonal accuracy and clarity from lows to highs, with a fabulous midrange & vocals, and plenty of “twinklies and sparklies” in the treble without any sibilance or fatigue. It’s probably my favorite all-rounder, and a top “desert island” pick for the long term. My only critical comment is about the chin slider, which is so loose as to be useless - a pretty small nit to pick but frustrating on a $2000 IEM nonetheless.
I’ve been chasing detail for a long time — and finally, I found it. The Empire Ears Odin is where musicality and detail meet perfectly for my taste. The layering and soundstage are breathtaking; the bass is powerful yet controlled, the mids are rich and natural, and the treble sparkles without harshness. It feels like rediscovering my entire music library. It's truly a flagship IEM worth every penny! And the MucisTeck team is very proactive during the ordering process. Kudos to them!
The more time you spend listening to it the better it gets! This set does not disappoint. Warm sounds with a bass boost. Sub bass shines but does not muddy mids and highs. Everything sounds great and I can definitely say this is an all arounder !!
