Luxury & Precision W4 Flagship Dongle

Delivery time approx. 2 weeks

Review

"L&P's W4, on the other hand, is every bit the technical marvel, but for different reasons. It's new custom chipset, and regardless of what conspiracy theorists will try tell you, is a breakthrough at any scale, let alone dongle. This is one of the cleanest, most resolving sources I've heard, and the fact that it brings out the same qualities in the multi-kilobuck IEMs I paired with it makes it, to my mind, excellent value, even if it happens to be the most expensive dongle to date "

Product features

W4 LP5108 flagship core debut - Self-developed chip for good tuning

With years of tuning experience, the chip has been designed with multiple pre-programmed power sources for tuning, giving you the flexibility to make a big difference.

Tuning

A new generation of tuning with the L&P core, both hard and soft.
TUNE 01: A more relaxed sound, with vocal-based modes such as Pop.
TUNE 02: A more refined sound, with a mode for complex tracks like Symphonic.

Small "desk" boost

More than 400mw @ 32 ohms, no less than an ordinary portable player, with far less than 0.01% distortion at this point.

Power consumption about 50% lower than W2

The LP5108 chip allows the W4 to deliver lower distortion, higher dynamics and more thrust while consuming half as much power as the previous flagship Tails - a boon for cell phone life phobics.

Nx effective thrust force

0.5x W2-power consumption + 1.7x W2-thrust = nx effective thrust.

"Five-zero" low distortion

The LP5108's powerful "five-zero" rear brings back the true sound of the original.

Up to 134 dB dynamics throughout the entire range

With "five-zero" low distortion and a dynamic range that puts portable players to shame, even cell phone users can listen to the music.

Excellent power supply

HIFI is all about performance, and better performance design allows the W4 to realize the full potential of the LP5108 chip! Produce great sound, reduce device heat waves and reduce the effects of current limiting for a longer, better experience!

Better user experience = easy to use

One-button operation, long-lasting ALPS components and a crisp, clear rotary sound.

High-gate FPGA specifically for EQ processing

Parallel DSP processing, nearly lossless hardware EQ and a wide range of professional sounds.

A wide range of professional sound optimizations

From movies to games, from Beyerdynamic Xelento to Shure 846, the professionally optimized sound from the L&P W4 has everything you need.

"0" noise floor

So little board, so much thrust, so little noise!

Apple or Android? No problem!

W Series comes with both TYPE-C and Lightning OTG cable, so you don't have to worry about adapting your phone.

SPDIF Output!

The new generation is "bundled" with a professional Spdif output from L&P.

More interfaces, more combinations

3.5 mm interface PO / SPDIF, 4.4 mm interface balanced PO.

Easy firmware upgrades, endless possibilities
