The E7 accompanying me on an intercontinental flight to London. It got the call over the LP R2R DAPs I have. I will confess that having 3 tunings in one compact machine clinched it for me. And great BT connectivity with the Shanling M9+ is also excellent! :)

Beautiful Eletech cases on a long intercontinental flight. OTL and SOA of course. 🤗

I have thus far spent most of my time on the E7 with the Fitear customs: the DC Ti, Titan, Air2, DC and MH335ht. In particular, the E7 sounds spectacular with the DC Ti and Titan, especially if you switch to the HD tuning because the sound stage and layering is impressive. Of course, at the end...

Yeah… I leave mine just plugged into power. And the recharging at the set percentage works nicely. :) I suspect all the android processes and wifi are still draining the battery even if you just leave the M30 idle. I just switch off when I am done with the M30. :)

hear hear! :)

Heads up for those who have been asking @Uncle Wilson about the time of arrival of new stock of the E7: I understand that the stock has indeed arrived! :)

That is unfortunate. But never mind. At least you have one FW version that works with BT. I suppose that is why the official release of the E7 is later in Japan. Fingers crossed that certification will come soon! :)

@Shanling can give the definitive answer. But from past experience it is by way of firmware only. :)

Sounds good! Fingers crossed that I shall receive my Immanis during my birthday month of June. 🤗

Have a great trip! :)

Try the Caldera with the SAEQ amps, especially the Hyperion Ge. You will be surprised. :)

No worries at all! It is a pity because the Bluetooth streaming is really good. Hope you get this sorted out! :)

No worries! That is indeed puzzling. I have never seen an iteration of the firmware where there was no Bluetooth available. Perhaps check with the dealer you purchased it from.

That would be a question for the AD you purchased it from. :)

Congrats! Yeah… the LP team does great work. Wait til you slowly appreciate the 3 tuning settings that are available. :) Enjoy!

No issues with previous FW. I just tried my E7 with the latest FW v1.0.5. No issues with Bluetooth either.

Sorry to hear about the 4.4mm port. I can imagine the DAC will be great with a desktop amp. When I first started exploring LP, I had used the P6Pro as well as the LP6 as the source for my desktop amps. Wonderful sound quality! :)

Hence, I do not understand why you persist in airing your complaints in a thread for a product which you are obviously not interested in. Well, perhaps go explore elsewhere for that elusive complete product. It may yet exist. But not here, I fear. :) Despite the patience of @Shanling ;)

When you’re hot, you’re hot! 😆

Well, there are plenty of lemons in the market with clinical and soulless sound. And there is always a question of synergy. :) Anyway, you can take up your unhappiness with @Shanling. :) Not sure what you expected of the Eddict Player. ;) I think what you want is a full featured streamer for...

Decided to give the 2022 Focal Utopia a run out with the ONIX Miracle over the past few days. Very good synergy indeed!

Agree with @Bosk: because the E7 is based on a DS DAC, rather than R2R, it is more technical and dynamic. But without the digital glare you normally get with DS DACs. It is well tuned to be smooth and still organic. :)

LD is a bit flatter since it is meant to be closest to a monitoring neutral sound. HT sounds a bit more tuned for ACG, like the P6PTi is: a bit more mid centric and dynamic. Subtle, I agree, next to HD. :)
