    Luxury & Precision (LP) W4, Successor to Their Popular W1/W2 USB Dongle is Here!

    Just a question. Recently my W4 started to have this weirdly high noise floor with NOS filter enabled. I tried 2 different other W4 units belonging to friends and they don't exhibit this behaviour. When I sent it back to L&P, they returned it to me saying that it is "normal" to have a slightly...

    Ah sorry for not being very clear. I'm asking if anyone has found a matching sheepskin pads (not necessarily from Aune).

    Has anyone tried this with a pair of sheepskin leather earpads? While I do like the stock pads, in a humid weather like mine, I prefer something that's more sweat-resistant and I do like the feel of leather more.

    I recently tried a set belonging to a friend. I also found this to be an excellent set. Nice review!

    FiiO M23, AK4191EQ+AK4499EX, THX AAA-78+, Dual Type-C Ports, Dual-Core Fast Charging, 1000mW+1000mW @32Ω

    @FiiO I watched the same video recently, and I suspect that the user is using the DAP in the car settings mostly, which is likely powered with a car charger. In my experience with car chargers, they do tend to fluctuate a bit and may have caused the M23 to go in and out of Desktop mode, which is...

    I observed this with Q15 as well, at a much lower pace. My guess is that the battery is kept "on standby" in case the power disconnection happens from the power in port, so it is not completely off. This makes sense from a design perspective in a semi-portable, otherwise you might run an issue...

    We call that "personal taste" around here. I have friends who like M23, and I have friends who hate it too. I guess too bad you just don't understand the concept of subjectivity. Whatever floats your boat, man. I wish you good luck finding your ideal DAP.

    Remember what I replied to your DM to me? I think you just like warmer sources. I guess I wasn't wrong.

    So far I have tested 4 units of M23 (two at Canjam SG - alu and SS, my personal unit, and a friend's unit), they all do not exhibit the issue described in the video. I doubt it is a widespread issue, but I'd be interested to know what's the cause though.

    @laleeee I think this is the third time you are asking people whether M23 "sounds thin" or not. I think you should just find a demo unit somewhere and try it yourself. And as I replied to you previously, no, M23 doesn't sound thin to me (even before the update), only for some difficult pairings...

    Finally I've finished my M23 review. Coming from M11S, I really enjoy the experience after some initial trepidation. Keep up the good work FiiO! https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/fiio-m23.27179/reviews#review-33864

    Review by 'inscythe' on item 'FiiO M23'

    Introduction I was never a big “brick” DAP person. In the past, I have owned some cheap small MP3 players from Creative and Sandisk, but in the end I invested more in desktop setup. It all changed when I bought a FiiO M11S about 1.5 years ago. Having an Android-based player with great battery...

    The discovery thread!

    I have the Jijujet-2, and I have to say that while it is super weird to see, it is pretty comfortable. I can imagine this happening to the creator of this tip :smile:
