Has anyone else seen increased battery usage with the new firmware? I had it paused in my bag all morning and it came out warm and had used 27% in 5 hours.

I have been having issues with 1.00.03. First off the metadata ended up looking at something else for some reason. Last weekend I spent all Saturday fixing issues with the metadata as well as artist groupings as the opus#1s doesn't use album artist. After the update groupings are all messed up...

What version of IOS are you using. I noticed that the Penon Audio cable says it is only good up to 11.2.6 and no 11.3

Usb dac - you can send audio from a pc and use the opus#1s as a dac and amp. Usb transport - you can send audio to a usb dac from the Opus#1s

It works as a usb DAC but not as a usb transport. I keep waiting on that functionality but until the. I will just use optical output.

I see your bet and raise you Koss

Ya half the time I plug in, it doesn’t work and I have to restart the player to get it working again.

I have been using mine as a source for my audio-gd and it sounds really good, better than the usb out through Goober. The only issue I have had is the optical out doesn’t work sometimes and requires a restart. Hopefully they fix that in the next update. I don’t have a balanced amp to try the...

The TH-X00 will run just fine on the V20 and you will see a benefit down the road if you add something that has a better current drive. For example mine sound good on my DFB but sound better on my NFB-11. You will have similar results. However the elephant in the room is the cable. It is 10 feet...

Has anyone played with the balanced line out on this player yet?

Just picked one up last week and I have been loving it with the FLC 8s

The 1s will run both outputs at the same time. Not that it is recommended to do so.

I will soon be moving into the world of high-end IEMs. I am trying to decide whether to get a dragonfly red or a HA-2SE for my portable set-up. I have previously owned a dragonfly red and I liked it. It was very compact and sounded great with the headphones I had at the time, but at the time I...

I consider my NFB-11 to be as good as I need. However, there are many features I would like to have someday such as an analog input or pre-amp or balanced output. It may be endgame level for me. It wont be the only game in town.

The M50x really dont require much for power and they do not scale with better hardware. Your options are pretty much open. Something like a Audioquest Dragonfly Red/Black for ultra compact. The Xduoo XD-05, Ibasso D14 or the new Fiio Q1 mk II will also fit the bill.

I just set up Deadbeef on my ubuntu install and I was able to set it up just like my foobar2000 install on windows.

There shouldn't be any problems the Aune X7s doesn't have balanced input. It only has an unbalanced input.

Did you format the SD card individually to fat32 (not extfat) before installing them?

I had the best luck on going to the china options like aliexpress. Eidolic has some nice 2.5 TS connectors if you don't mine paying $20 a piece for them.

No, Just that they confirmed my order. I don't expect a shipping confirmation till late next week.
