Is there a 0.78mm connectors version? The only kid in the block, FiiO LC-BT2, has been released and it has a big drawback that I have to look for an alternative like this one.

At release it will be available only with MMCX connectors.

what drawback does it have?

Think they are talking about the two-pin isn't designed for recessed sockets so it won't work with their earphones.

Can it be used while connected to PC? (Like a dac)
Can it be used while charging?
I'll be pairing this with Dunu DK-2001.

@Shanling Would you offer for Headfiers any introductory incentive?

Yes, it can be used as USB DAC, without any drivers, limited to 16/48.
Yes, it can be used while charging. Just when you connect charger, MW200 will turn off automatically. You just need to turn it on and you can continue with listening.

But please keep in mind that USB connector is located on bottom of the left "module". It works best if you can get cable with angled connector, so the cable isn't poking directly down into your collar bone.

@Shanling Would you offer for Headfiers any introductory incentive?

We do not sell directly outside of China. You would need to check with your local seller of Shanling for any possibility.

I just got my MW200! I tried with my Andromeda 2020 and I am blown away by the sound! I feel that with the MW200 in LDAC on S20 Ultra is as close as I can get to wired quality! It is very similar to what I get from USB DAC dongles in the league of Meizu HD/MU3/Sonata, way better than any of the budget Realtek stuff. But a little short when compared to higher end USB DACs like the ES9280/9281C.

Background is noise free for me, very good bass impact, and clear vocals and musical instruments. In short, Andromeda 2020 on the MW200 sounds like an Andromeda should, not some muffled ear piece.

I had both of the Fiio (LC and the utws) before and they are no comparison to the MW200! To top it off, the MW200 takes type C charging, which I like as all my devices are type c based.

And the companion app allows firmware updates very easily.

All in all, a great job Shanling! My fiios are in the dumpster at the moment.

I will be trying the MW200 with my Andromeda S and Gold when I have time tomorrow. I am so looking forward to testing them with the MW200!

If you owned (or tested) as well LC-BT2, can you write few words about range of MW200 vs rival products? Thanks!
