LOTOO PAW 6000
Premium portable lossless music player

Lotoo, a subsidiary of Infomedia Electronic Technology Co. Ltd., was established in 1999 and is headquartered in Beijing. It boasts one of the most advanced R&D departments in Asia, focusing on the development of the highest quality audio products. The team has been developing professional audio recorders for years, and has recently utilized its extensive experience to create exceptional portable audio players.
Lotoo meticulously designs each product, paying attention to the smallest details, and continuously enhances its solutions. The company's portable audio players quickly became very popular, and they have been sold in new markets as well.
Lossless Music Player
The PAW 6000 is Lotoo's latest player, which is the successor to the popular PAW 5000. It can also be described as a more affordable version of the PAW Gold Touch. It not only offers high-quality construction similar to Lotoo's flagship product but also excellent sound and an ultra-fast system with PMEQ II and ATE.

Stylish and Durable Design
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is known for its excellent craftsmanship. Its casing – similar to the PAW Gold Touch – is made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, which is characterized by high durability. It is precisely machined (CNC) and then subjected to multi-step processing. The PAW 6000 is relatively small, fitting easily in the palm of your hand. The side edges are slightly rounded, which not only looks stylish but also improves grip. The function buttons are located on the right side (securely fixed in the case at the right height), making one-handed use even more convenient. The model also stands out with its stylish design – the elegant black case features eye-catching gold accents (output covers and button). The back is covered with a glass panel, which looks very elegant.

Convenient Volume Control
Another eye-catching feature of the player's casing is the specially designed volume control knob. It stands out not only with its golden color but also with a robust metal cover. Below it, there is an LED indicator that stylishly illuminates the traditional knob (especially at night).

Easily Readable Touchscreen
The Lotoo PAW 6000 features a 3.77-inch IPS GFF LCD display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, which was previously used in the PAW Gold Touch. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 layer and a DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating that prevents accidental scratches. A special oleophobic coating reduces surface contamination (including fingerprints). The screen is well visible in sunlight, and the sensors provide a quick touch response.

Amazing Sound Quality
The PAW 6000 is based on the AKM (Asahi Kasei Microdevices) AK4493EQ DAC chip, which has been perfectly implemented. This is clearly demonstrated by the model's actual measurement results, which almost perfectly match the laboratory test results of the DAC chip. This precisely tuned player guarantees excellent, reference-quality sound.

Custom HDI PCB
The entire PAW 6000 circuit is mounted on a specially designed 8-layer HDI (high-density interconnect) PCB, boasting more connections than standard solutions. The company also provides effective shielding, significantly reducing distortion.
3.5 mm and 4.4 mm Headphone Outputs
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is equipped with two headphone outputs – a 3.5 mm (unbalanced) and a 4.4 mm (balanced). These provide up to 300 mW (per channel) output power (at 32 ohms) and very low noise levels (-120 dBu, 0.78 uV), making the model ideal for pairing with sensitive earphones. Both connectors can also function as line outputs. It is also worth mentioning that the PAW 6000 uses the original 4.4 mm headphone connector by Pentaconn (responsible for the standard development), which is characterized by high quality.

Custom PMEQ II and ATE
The advanced parametric equalizer (PMEQ), characterized by low phase distortion, is the hallmark of Lotoo products. The PAW 6000 presents its second generation, debuted in the PAW Gold Touch flagship. This solution has undergone further development, ensuring even better sound customization to your preferences.


The PMEQ II offers eight standard preset sound modes: Classical, Dance, Jazz, Pop, Rock, and Techno, as well as Headphone and Full Bass. Users can also create their own custom settings using an intuitive interface. Users can accurately select the part of the frequency range they wish to boost or attenuate (graphical preview also available). Lotoo’s second flagship solution is the studio-quality ATE (Acoustic Timbre Embellisher), which allows quick tone adjustments. Users can choose from five standard options: Brighter, Sweet, Dental, Diffuse Field (near field) and Diffuse Field (far field).
USB Type-C and USB DAC Functionality
The Lotoo PAW 6000 features a USB 3.1 Type-C port for fast data transfer (up to 10 Gb/s). The DAP also supports the USB DAC function, allowing it to be used for processing audio streamed from Windows or macOS computers (as well as Android and iOS mobile devices). This solution uses an asynchronous protocol and also supports PMEQ II and ATE functions.

Ultra-fast Lotoo Operating System
The PAW 6000 runs on Lotoo's own operating system, known from the PAW Gold Touch technology. This more affordable model debuted with the latest version, featuring a slightly updated interface and new color scheme. The LTOS is specifically designed for portable audio players. It delivers lightning-fast performance (the player starts up in 2 seconds!), and has a feature-rich yet intuitive interface designed with the needs of sound engineers and producers in mind.

Lotoo OS is a platform designed for efficient audio management and to fully exploit the advanced audio system of the player. Its architecture ensures excellent processing of audio files in various formats, native DoP support, easy management of large music libraries, and a well-optimized power management system.

Quick OTA Updates
The PAW 6000 is equipped with a Wi-Fi module. This allows fast system updates via OTA (Over-the-Air) method – users do not need to use a computer to install new software versions.
Bluetooth LDAC Codec
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is equipped with a built-in Bluetooth 4.2 module that supports the LDAC codec. This ensures the highest audio transmission speed of the Bluetooth standard – up to 990 kbps. The system supports the module's bidirectional operation, so the PAW 6000 can be used as a Bluetooth transmitter (sending signals to wireless headphones or speakers) and as a Bluetooth receiver (receiving signals from a smartphone).

Support for Memory Cards up to 2 TB
The PAW 6000 system supports microSDHC/SDXC cards with speeds up to 300 MB/s (SD 4.0/UHS-II) and capacities up to 2 TB. Excellent software optimization enables fast reading of even large storage media.
Long Battery Life
The Lotoo PAW 6000 is equipped with a 5200 mAh lithium-polymer battery. This guarantees up to 16 hours of continuous music playback (tested on wave files in a single cycle at 25°C, in low gain mode, at a volume of 50, with the screen, effects, and LED backlight turned off).
