Yes, based on my memory (and not direct comparison), it seems to be true. It could be the tiny power supply in the OPUS DAC relative to the one in the Zhaolu. You can use the Zhaolu's big beefy power supply with the OPUS, but I don't think anyone has tried it yet.

Also, how warm is the Opus?

It was pretty neutral, but can be warm when it needs to be. It is pretty much in line with other high end DACs, and yes I do consider this a high-end DAC because I prefer it over the usual $1000-$1500 class of commerical DACs that I've heard so far. I've also heard much more expensive DACs but it's definately a matter of preference.
Edit: Ah I see fierce-freak just posted a reply as I was typing this up. Seems like we agree
