Wait, did you downloaded the W4 file and installed it on W2 or did you download the new W1 / W2 files that is in a different folder?

I downloaded the file under W4 folder as mentioned above. Didn't work so I reverted back to last firmware.

hi ! how can i check the current firmware of the w4 ? i see w4 dont have two buttons. thank you

I don't have the W4 yet but I assume before connecting it to laptop keep the button pressed and you shall see the current firmware on your dongle.

oops sorry I should have updated that in the main post. Please try this now: Enter the UAC mode of the device and then long press the volume knob.

Can you try this now for W2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17mYxSoCURhGRCdxLh0uTsdDB0iM5UBrj/view?usp=drivesdk

Is this the latest firmware for W2? Thanks

Just updated my W2 with that file, no issue so far.

Just read through everything here... seems promising. I'm looking to upgrade from my Dethonray Pegasus SG1 as it doesn't have enough power to drive my Helios (and soon the Helios SE.)

Currently I'm considering the Pegasus SG1 Gold which is much more powerful and allegedly better sounding than the original. However, it's $570 USD or so after ship from Switzerland (and not available elsewhere to my knowledge) so kind of a lot of swallow considering I paid a bit over half that amount for the original. Aside from that, I've also been looking at midrange DAPs on the used market (like Hiby RS6, Shanling M6U, iBasso DX240, etc.) All of a sudden I'm seeing this W4 spreading around the forums, and from what I've read L&P has made some excellent sounding equipment in the past.

So my question is, from a pure cost/sound quality ratio perspective, what would be my best portable option(s) in this $500 ± 200 budget? Bluetooth amp, DAP, or dongle, doesn't matter as long as I can stream Apple Music and bring it around without looking like this guy. I think I prefer a more warmer, musical sounding option as opposed to a bright or analytical device.

Hopefully this question doesn't sound silly. Thanks!

One new entry to consider would be the iFi go pod: https://ifi-audio.com/products/go-pod/

Amazing how many options are available. The challenge is in the choosing, but the good news is there are likely few bad choices one could actually make.

The fact that people actual spent money on Dethonray is beyond me.

 

[Gus141]

Yes.

WOw, thanks! Your W2 (and now W4) support is really cool. New firmware works great on W2. I’m still on the fence about W4 since W2 works so well for me. But thanks @bluestorm1992 for keeping the firmware links going for both the old and new products. Cheers!

And thanks to L&P for still updating the W2 even though the W4 is out. Nice!

Are their products bad? I'm quite happy with my sg1 aside from the power being lacking.

Calling SG1 bad will be an insult to the word itself. People don't always agree that measurement can reflect 100% of their subjective interpretation of SQ and I respect that. But sometime there comes this one thing that measured so badly that it will let you question the "engineer" that designs it even actually have any engineering training at all, and SG1 fits perfectly in that example.

Given the type of sound you say to look for, if I were you I would take a Cayin RU6. You won't faint and you have the best value for money.
