Luxury & Precision W2-131

Luxury & Precision has announced the new W2-131 portable USB DAC-AMP. They have mainly switched the DAC chipset from dual CS43198 chips of the previous model W2 to newer dual CS43131 DAC chips. The new W2-131 has higher driving power, lower power consumption, and brand-new Prussian Blue chassis. So, with this new W2-131, we get the performance of the W2 with improvements in terms of output power and power consumption.

The L&P W2-131 with its multi-chip architecture provides clean output with ultra-low distortion and high SNR ratings achieving best in class 131 dB SNR ratings and 131.5dB THD+N ratings.

With the help of selective low-power chips, the L&P W2-131 has lower requirements. It has 10% lower power requirements than its former model. The W2-131 has got better driving force with increased output power ratings. The OG W2 had an output power rating of up to 230mW @ 32Ω of load, but the new W2-131 provides up to 260mW of output at the same loads.

Similar to the former model, the new W2-131 houses two headphone output ports. One is a 4.4mm balanced output port and the other is a 3.5mm single-ended headphone output port. W2-131 supports easy connectivity for all the latest headphones and IEMs.
