The Tempotec completely missed my radar, what are the main cons vs the X10Tii?

CPU chip, build quality, screen, battery life, BT (4.0 vs 4.2), no optical out.

Ta, the optical out is maybe one thing I'd miss, but damn that's a big price difference

D&B may be a genre of limited appeal in this thread, no idea on peoples music preferences here! Anway - listening right now to this via the W2 and IER-M9, absolutely incredible. @F700 - you were correct about that pairing for sure!

Happy for you mate! Enjoy this nice combo of yours

Aha, so it should pair well with my Z5 / Atlas / Cascade as well. Waiting for a resupply to pull the trigger then

Beginning of April... place an order, because the 2nd batch might sell as fast (or even faster) as the 1st one.

O.K., I' ve (very) quickly scanned the last ~30 pages of this thread to see what type of devices y'all are connecting to the W2, and it's the usual suspects: phones, laptops, tablets. By chance, has anyone tried using the W2 with the xDuoo X10t II? Frankly, given that it's the only such device I know of (purely a portable digital transport), not surprised if no one has tried it yet as I assume the X10t II isn't in that many hands of head-fi members. Just thought I'd ask.

As we discussed together on another thread, I cancelled my order for the W2, but if I can get one on loan or if someone is selling his/hers at a good price, I might make the test with my X10T II

I've moved from D&B all the way to some acoustic rock in the shape of 'Into Dust' by Mazzy Star. The separation of instruments, vocals etc are just mindblowing - sounds like Hope is singing directly to me! Such a beautiful song anyway but right now, wow.

Finally ! My W2 works fine with the with Windows 7/64, with latest files provided by the L&P's great team.The sound is and no exaggeration few times better then with the S1 when watching for example Netflix.
No crackling noise, interruptions and me needing to keep connecting the device all the time after I got twice the backspace key.
Compared to S1, I can hear more details in the movie, the bass hits harder and is more realistic for example when the slam a car's door. Voices are much clearer then before and very dark background.
Very enjoyable using it now with my laptop.

If they keep improving it and is already very very good, we will see more people using similar devices and less dedicated music players unless they want to.
Bravo L&P, a big problem that's been addressed.

If any of you wrote them, please check your spam folder that's where the email they sent landed.

I can't test the W2 with game consoles such as PS5, Nintendo Switch but this is a must have device if you care about the sound.
Even if you can't try one before buying and you are thinking of doing so, just order one and you will be very happy.

For me the only thing missing (given the price) is some sort of a case for the dongle when not in use..

Any idea where I can actually buy one?

Funny enough as I was about to ask the same thing !
Maybe someone close to L&P can ask them to make a silicone or high quality leather case for protection. We all need one.

Hold on, let me ask the manufacturer who made the TPU case for DX300 to put their W2 TPU case on Aliexpress as well. It has been available in their Chinese shop already.

Edit: the shop told me that the case will be available to order in a couple of days. I will share the link then.

Great, do you have some pictures to share? Also because we don't want to waste any time, I contacted L&P for the matter and see what they have to say.

I got these few design pics. Actual products will be ready in a couple of days.

Looks nice, trough I would like more protection all over, just similar with the S1 case. Let's see how the final product will look like.
Thank you for sharing. Definitely now the W2 is getting better overall as a product with a protective case coming soon.

 

[RPKwan]

Indeed. The S21U will be more of a secondary device for now but we shall see.

It is rather weird that there don't seem to be any true wireless earphones with LDAC support...

I've got an S21U as well and I'm not sure if it needs a specific cable to connect with DACS. I've tried pairing with H1 and HE1000 with no success. Will have to see if W2 works when i find time to go and test it out.
