In 2014, Lotoo introduced the PAW Gold, the world’s first reference-grade portable music player. The term reference-grade originates from professional audio, describing equipment trusted for evaluating recordings with minimal colouration and maximum fidelity. It reflects exceptionally linear frequency response, wide dynamic range, low distortion, and precise signal reproduction — benchmarks used in studios and critical listening environments.
The PAW Gold is Lotoo’s longest-running and most consistently produced model. Known for exceptional clarity and dynamic power, it earned a rare place in portable Hi-Fi: a player built for sustained demand, not hype.
The PAW Gold has been widely adopted by professionals across music creation and recording, where reliable sonic referencing is critical under long sessions, variable conditions, and uncompromising workflows. Its design signature, the Apollo Sun Emblem, reflects precision, purity, and faithful sound — qualities that have defined Lotoo’s expertise for a decade.
Over the past ten years, the Apollo Sun symbol has extended beyond PAW Gold, becoming a shared identity across key Lotoo flagships including PAW Gold Touch, PAW GT2, PAW Gold Touch Titanium, and Mjölnir. It is now recognised globally by listeners who value and enjoy sound as a reference.
Crafted for Collectors
The PAW Gold 10th Anniversary Edition brings together industrial engineering and fine jewellery design. The gold disc is shaped through precision engraving using refined jewellery techniques, with key details completed by hand. The housing is CNC-machined from high-grade stainless steel and finished with a ceramic-carbon PVD coating, creating a soft-reflection black with a gentle sheen that shifts subtly under different lighting and colour temperatures.
The front panel keeps the signature sapphire crystal screen, now sculpted with deeper edge cuts to enhance depth while preserving optical clarity. Sapphire
glass offers over 90% light transmission and a refractive index of 1.76–1.78. At Mohs 9 hardness, it ranks just below diamond, making it a material trusted in aerospace, laser optics, horology, and precision instruments where strength and clarity are essential.
Sound, RefinedWhile preserving its signature sonic character, the 10th Anniversary Edition brings subtle tuning enhancements that deepen vocal presence, enrich tonal weight, and extend spatial layering for a more immersive and emotionally engaging listen.
