I also suppose it's related to the phone itself.
Haven't recognised EMI even on my iPhone 11Pro but strange interruptions even with ddhifi adapters which disappeared after iPhone-Reboot several days later.
On my Motorola M3750 you could clearly hear the change of transmitter masts with the mobile phone and W2 connected by Qudelix 5k USB-C cables (as for better connectors) and attached to my MEST MKII laying on my lap while driving

it's not my music style but Rap/RnB (Tidal Mellow Vibes playlist) is f... good on this dongle on my new MEST MKII, holographic, airy, bass hitting dry and hard when called for

Still using the W2 everyday, for music and movies and I am more impressed then ever. Well worth the price.
Can't wait... been on waiting list for weeks... Andrew says stock should be in end of the week.. which is what he said last week... so I'm just hoping L&P resolves some of its supply issues and is able to send them to Musictek finally...

The material of the case is solid and look nice. W2 feel just right into the case, the only draw back is you need to press harder to reach the button after put on the case.

Looking to get a (hopefully) unbiased opinion— is L&P W2 currently the best portable DAC/amp solution on the market if I want to use my phone (ie not. DAP)?
Are there any decent competitors?
Depends on ur price range.. and if u have size constraints.. W2 is one of the best if not the best in this “dongle” category.. not much amplification.. according to literature of cos, still waiting for mine. Otherwise I also consider the iFi Diablo portable TO ME 😅

I haven’t received mine yet but I have read a lot about various makes and models from other brands and this is the only one I’ve put money down on....if that means anything :)

The case seem to be well made and it's beautiful, but the front of the dongle is not protected against scratches. The case of S1 offers superior protection.
I just cut a small piece of screen protector to fit over both, much better than just depending on the case alone.

Please listen to a piece of music at 4:05 "...for the trouble" with high-impedance headphones at high volume and the balanced connection.
Do you hear unacceptable distortion on the W2? Similar to digital noise. I notice them already at 96% HG volume with 32 ohm IEM
Your headphones/IEMs will have WAAAAY higher distortion than any decent dac/amp
