Most important question of all: capacity.
One slot, 2 slots, internal memory ?
 
I hope that they go for 2 slots, since people are expecting to store their whole library on a top-tier DAP.
Opus #2 was such a disappointment in that regard.

I do agree with this, and I don't know why they did it either

Just waiting for that price to show up. I've been looking for a player and something between the #1 and the #2 may make me open my wallet.

My whole library wouldn't come close to fitting in 2 slots.

It's a lower end model compared to the Opus #2 so I am not sure if those having the Opus #2 would want to change to this.
 
It seems to be using the old PCM1792A chip.

Ya, I read that after more specs came out.  I stand corrected.

Love my Opus #1 and am eager to hear more about Opus #3. Not sure I'm a fan of the volume wheel implementation, though...

Aw, was hoping for a mini-DAP from Opus (or a new/larger DAC/Amp), maybe next time.

AK Jr PTSD incoming!

Actually it has optical out  only 1 memory card max 200Gb and build in 64Gb  
A plus from Opus #1 is running native DSD, not DOP like #1
but still 24 bit, not 32 bit like #2

I'm really hoping they price this well, Around the 500-700 mark.

Conclusion: next-to-useless piece of DAP, considering the features of Opus #1 and #2.
***, 64Gb + 1 slot in 2017 is just....... crap unless it is worth less than 500$.
 
Hi-res music with this kind of capacity:

 
Give us back the 2 slots of Opus #1 if you're not willing to equip DAPs with at least 256Gb...
Audiophile nonsense.

Actually with 128 build in + 128 memory card in #2, I use just up to 2/3 of them  

 

[Rockcoon]

Any info about release date?

Which means your library is small or you use a lossy format and no hi-res files.
Glad it works for you, but my library is over 400Gb and I only have 3 hi-res albums, so 64Gb + 1 slot is a joke, considering you get this on cheap smartphones nowadays.
Swapping cards all the time is not worth the pain, I have more interesting things to do with my time.

) over 4 thousands files with 4/5 are lossless FLAC, even DSD and WAV
a few is MP3 just because those music is out of date already ^^ I can't find any lossless file to replace  
And 4k files are more than fine for portable to me!

How much will this worth? Can anyone give a link to the specs?
