I would call the Opus pretty neutral, really. It's not exactly warm, but it's certainly not cold, either.

We'll put this to the test soon. fierce_freak has been gracious enough to agree to build one for me. It will be dual differential and have the Zapfilter MKII discrete output. Twisted Pear is out of stock of the Opus kit and DAC boards at the moment. It seems they expect to have some ready for orders by the end of August. That's my luck of coarse, but it will be worth the wait.

Please let us know how this works out. If you finish it before the parts for mine arrive, and it has a favorable outcome, I can have Jim add one to mine.
