VERDICT
Luxury & Precision W2. This is a flagship DAC/Amp Dongle designed from the ground up destined to be a fine bespoke specimen. Everything about it shouts quality and precision. Simply beautiful. There’s a wealth of options that will make any mid-tiered DAP blush. SPDIF, EQ, Filters, Gain Selection etc. Not forgetting the intricate power circuitry that individually serve the dual CS DACs and Amp stage. This is a micro DAP any which way I looked at it. The sound is utterly natural and neutral with great fidelity that is definitely reference grade. W2 is an upgrade over Lotoo PAW S1 assuredly, PAW S1 losing it by being a bit more laid back and lean sounding in contrast. Compared to Astell & Kern PEE51, W2 made PEE51 seemingly colored with that super euphonic signature and energetic timbre. But then I don’t really see this as being a negative as they are meant to cater for different tastes and varying synergies. There’s no right or wrong.
W2 passed the FOSTEX T40RP MK3 91db Magnetic Planar brutal test (Balanced, High Gain) . It does need the volume to be cranked all the way to 75-80/100. But once desired loudness has been set, the output is great. However it is not as meaty and wholesome as how it was with Ovidius B1, Hidizs S9, S9 Pro and hiliDAC Audirect BEAM 2S. While fidelity is great and refined, vibrancy was mildly laid back compared to the other 4 top performers. Timbre coherence and stability is top notch, devoid of any signs of distortion or jitters even subjected to very heavy load. This is a great option for those preferring smooth neutral output from their planars.
Etymotic ER4SR (Balanced, High Gain). My favorite BA sounded truly Hi-Fi with W2. That polished smoothness complementing ER4SR technical characteristics exceedingly well. The best part, despite being highly resolving, both the source and IEM does not sound sterile and dry as how I heard it when paired with some ESS or Cirrus based DACs (HiBy FC3, Hidizs S3 Pro, Zorloo Ztella, JM20, Cayin N6ii E02, Topping D10s). W2 was able to strike a true neutral output with ER4SR to make any Diffused Field Sound fans proud.
VE Asura 2.0 (Balanced, High Gain) on the other hand is almost like a contrast to the performance exhibited by ER4SR. While both being highly technical and fast, audibly the overall tone is warmer on the Asura especially with very lush and rich mids. I can literally feel Diana Krall’s sexy voice engulfing me with velvety sensation. This is a super combo to enjoy Mids focused presentation. It is just breathtaking, silky smooth yet still very technical and with agility. W2 and Asura does seem to be a match made in heaven.
Moondrop Aria & HZSOUND Heart Mirror (Single Ended, High Gain, FAST Filter). I was taken aback by what I heard from Aria. Bass responses were audibly slow despite being well controlled and textured. This may appeal to those who prefer their Bass indulgence slow-cooked, but not me. The rest of the spectrum are just okay-ish, I have heard the best performance of Aria when paired with Zorloo Ztella. Similarly the normally fast and sparkly Heart Mirror exhibited mildly subdued output. There’s smoothness and refinement but I have heard better from Heart Mirror paired with a dozen other Dongles. If I am to draw conclusions on this, I think W2 is not as highly optimized for Single Ended use because the Balanced Port definitely sounds a lot better to my ears. And all these were done with the fastest filter profile available for W2.
评语
乐彼W2。这是一款从头开始设计的旗舰级小尾巴,注定要成为一个标杆级产品。它的一切都彰显了品质感与精准度。纯粹的漂亮。它有大量可选项,会让任何中端DAP脸红,包括同轴输出、EQ、滤波器、增益调节等等。别忘了还有错综复杂的供电电路,它们分别服务于双CS解码芯片和模拟放大环节。无论我怎么看,这都是一款微型DAP。它的声音是完全自然和中性的,保真度很高,绝对是参考级的。相比乐图S1,W2肯定是升级了,由于S1相对比较松散且干瘦的声音,它丢失了领先身位。和A&K PEE51相比,W2让PEE51似乎有了超多的回声特征以及富有能量感的音色。但我并不真心认为这是个负面因素,因为它们是为了迎合不同口味与不同协同作用,并无对错之分。
W2通过了驱动灵敏度仅91dB的丰达T40RP MK3平板耳机的残酷测试(平衡口高增益模式)。它确实需要把音量一直调到75-80格(满格100),可一旦设定了所需响度,输出就会很ok。然而,它不像Ovidius B1、Hidizs S9、S9 Pro和hiliDAC Audirect BEAM 2S那样有肉感和健康的音色。虽然保真度很棒,且声音相当精致,但与其他4个顶级产品相比,活生感稍显逊色。音色的连贯性与稳定性一流,无任何失真或抖动的迹象,即使在非常高负载条件下依然如此。对于那些喜欢平滑中性声音的平板玩家而言,这是一个很棒的选择。
推音特美ER4SR(平衡口高增益模式)。我最喜欢的动铁用W2听真的很hifi。这种抛光的平滑度与ER4SR的技术特性相得益彰。最重要的是,尽管解析力很高,但音源和入耳听起来并不像我在与一些ESS或Cirrus DAC芯片机型(如HiBy FC3、Hidizs S3 Pro、Zorloo Ztella、JM20、Cayin N6ii E02、Topping D10s)搭配时听到的那样无味和干燥。搭配ER4SR的W2能够表现出真正中性的声音,让任何扩散场声爱好者为之自豪。
另一方面,推微翼修罗2.0(平衡口高增益),其声音表现与搭配ER4SR时的效果形成了鲜明对比。虽然两套组合都有很棒的素质和速度,但从听觉上看,修罗的整体音色更暖,尤其是中频非常丰满。我真可以感觉到戴安娜·克拉尔的性感嗓音以天鹅绒般的感觉吞噬着我。这是一个超级组合,可以享受到中频的集中呈现。它令人叹为观止,如丝般顺滑,且仍然非常具有素质感和速度感。W2和修罗似乎是天作之合。
推水月雨咏叹调和海梵声心镜(单端、高增益、快速滤波模式)。我从咏叹调那里听到的东西让我吃了一惊。低频反映明显偏慢,尽管控制得很好,很有质感。这可能会吸引那些喜欢慢条斯理享受低频的用户,但不是我。在我已经听过咏叹调与Zorloo Ztella搭配时的最佳表现后,我发现w2推它在其他频段的表现都还可以。同样,通常显得快速且明亮的心镜也表现出轻微的低迷水准。有平滑性和精致感,但我听心镜和其他十几个尾巴搭配时表现更好。如果让我下结论,我会认为w2没有给单端作高度优化,因为在我耳朵听来,平衡口肯定要好得多。而且所有这些都是用W2最快的滤波器配置文件完成的。

In addition to my own tests, I decided to extend it further and asked the help of two members from ChiFi Audio Reviews FB group. Edmund Chan and Syazwan. Edmund being a seasoned Audiophile highly respected in the Malaysian Audio scene, He is a crew of AudioMonsta Malaysia. Syazwan on the other hand, is a freshly made Audiophile and I opted to ask him to share his impressions as well. This way I am able to gauge the perspective from both end of the spectrum = seasoned and fresh perspective.
- Edmund’s #donglemadness B1 vs W2 vs ZOOAUX
- Syazwan’s #donglemadness B1 vs W2 vs ZOOAUX vs CX-PRO
Luxury & Precision W2 is undoubtedly a stellar performer. The sound is well within reference grade quality. However to fully enjoy W2, it is a must to use the Balanced 4.4mm port. I am not impressed with the subdued performance of the Single Ended option.
除了我自己的测试外,我决定进一步扩展,并请ChiFi Audio Reviews FB group的两位成员帮忙。Edmund Chan和Syazwan。Edmund是一位经验丰富的发烧友,在马来西亚的音响界备受尊敬,他是马来西亚AudioMonsta的工作人员。另一方面,Syazwan是一个新发烧友,我选择让他也分享他的印象。这样我就能从两方面的角度来衡量,即老烧和新烧的观点。
(两位烧友的对比评测暂略)
乐彼W2无疑是个出众的表演者。它的音质完全达到了参考级品质。然而,为了充分享受W2实力,必须使用4.4mm平衡口,我对单端口的低调表现印象不深。
⭐⭐⭐⭐½ ($300.00)
Best Pairing: Flexible for anything with no less than 91db of sensitivity.
总评4星半(300美金)
最佳搭配:只要灵敏度不低于91dB,任何耳机均可灵活应对。
