I haven't personally heard it, but I have friends with them who also have the W2. Also, you can compare their measurements on audiosciencereviewHave you heard both?

I've been looking for this comparison as wellCould anybody give a comparison of the W2 to the Earmen Sparrow?
I'm pretty late on the hype train but genuinely considering the upgrade if it's worth the asking price (a bit high if you ask me for a dongle dac)
No, just like the S1, when one jack is in use the other stops.can the W2 Out put both 3.5 and 4.4 at the same time?
Looking for a little help. I’m trying to connect the spdif out of the W2 to the coax in of the FiiO BTA30. I have a cable from my dx300, but it doesn’t seem to work for the W2. It works with the dx300. So, is it a ring issue on the 3.5mm plug? What cable do I need?
Thanks!
Here is the iBasso one:
Link?It's not gonna work because iBasso daps have a dedicated SPDIF coax output, not combined with phone output, thus they are using 2pole cable you have in your picture. W2 combines coax and phone outputs, 2pole not gonna work; the cable I'm using is 4pole and it works OK.

Hi, do you carry a matching S/PDIF cable for the W2?RESTOCK ALERT: The W2 is finally back in stock at MusicTeck!

Just to add more info, is It has less to do with how many poles there are but how it was internally wired. It would seem L&P is using the FiiO standard (TRRS -> Left/right/ground/SPDIF) but even FiiO has used different standard in the past for its hybrid 3.5mm+SPDIF output. There is no common standard that every manufacturer follows, so you can't assume every cable will work though FiiO standard is probably the most popular as it is the easiest to implemented.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Given there is no guarantee and returns are a hassle, I give this budget option a try.Yes, exactly! I mentioned 2pole vs 4pole since it is visually easy to ID, and former one is used with dedicated coax ports vs the latter one with multi-function ports thus more wiring contacts. But then, I also saw a few listings with SPDIF coax to 3pole 3.5mm which could confuse people, though one actually mentioned that only 2 rings were connected (assuming GND and SPDIF).
