    Comment by 'orsonwellz' on listing 'Drop Cavalli Tube Hybrid (CTH) Amp'

    The title above does indeed say sold. But when my search brought up your listing, The title there did not say "Sold." My mistake, as one who is new to viewing these classified listings, for failing to carefully scrutinize the updated headline. But worry not, mate. The derision infusing your...

    Hello. Still available? If so, can you tell me how much shipping to Seattle would be? Finally, you described this unit "like new." Any notes at all regarding function or appearance? Thanks...

    How to set up my DAP's balanced output?

    Thank you, Roseval, for your informative reply. The RCA/balanced relationship was all news to me. Looks like that might be the way for me to go.

    How to set up my DAP's balanced output?

    Thanks, Sebastian, for the reply. I actually tried a cable just like this one that I found on Amazon. For some reason, it didn't work. I used it to interconnect between my Opus and Zen CAN, and then plugged a Senn 6XX balanced headphone cable into the Zen Can. I could hear signal, but it was...

    How to set up my DAP's balanced output?

    Hi folks... I'm a long-time Head-Fi reader, but I seldom post, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place with this post or am doing anything else like the under-informed rookie that I am. My question is this: What would you say is the best way to utilize the balanced out feature on my Opus #1...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Strange that the gain problem didn't appear when I installed the firmware update. Two things to consider in trying to figure this out: 1) My OPUS#1 is possibly of relatively recent manufacture, since I purchased it just about a month ago. Could that have anything to do with my player (at...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Good news. All is well. Knock on wood. I installed the 2.00.08 OPUS#1 firmware and, much to my surprise, I did not encounter either the gain or the line out issues cited by other early installers. And best of all (for those few of us who care), the 10-second problem has indeed been addressed...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Good to see that the firmware update has finally arrived! Bad to learn that it's apparently not a finished work. Many thanks to captblaze for taking point on this one. Sorry to hear about the gain problem, but like mbwilson111, the way I typically use the OPUS has me continually frustrated by...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Being a new OPUS 1 owner (and appreciating it more each time I use it), I thought I'd take a swing at contacting someone over at theBit - or whatever they're calling themselves at the moment - to ask a question or two. The focus of my inquiry was on the well-documented "10 second" crash problem...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Still working on the lyric problem I mentioned earlier. Going to try the matching .lrc file and see if that works. I'll let you know. In the meantime, as I continue to put my new toy through its paces, I've noticed two other apparent glitches - one of which is well known around here, I realize...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    Agreed. I don't see myself utilizing the lyric feature very often, but there are a few albums I listen to that have lyrics I'd like to better understand and appreciate, and I thought my brand new DAP would help me out with that. So far the Opus strikes me as a fantastic player and this lyric...

    thebit Opus#1 DAP from South Korea

    My head is spinning. I just received my Opus#1. The current offer ($229, including the exquisite case) on Amazon proved to be irresistible, and the time seemed right to finally upgrade from my FiiO X3i. I'm (very) slowly getting the hang of things, but one item about my Opus#1(with firmware...

I've never seen FiiO respond to requests to fix the cropping that all...

    My thanks to Mr Trev and the others for investigating the elapsed/remaining time issue back on page 34.   It'll be a red-letter day for those of us with less than 20-20 vision when it is possible to bulk up those minuscule numbers way down there at the bottom of the  screen!
