thank you for this!
opus 1 seems so so tempting.
It does, especially after twister's glowing review of it. The price point is very inviting too

Mike,
Are the Opus scores in the chart reflecting the newest 1.11 firmware? The reason I ask is that yesterday @twister6 posted an update in the Opus thread and said:
" Boom! and just like that v1.11 firmware update fixed the artwork problem (all good now!) and the sound had a very subtle change where now it's hard to tell the difference between PAW Gold and Opus#1. Just spent 20min with ES60 w/SuperBaX cable, switching between LPG and Opus while listening to KSHMR latest EP, and both sources sound nearly the same. While Opus used to be a touch warmer and had less aggressive mid-bass punch (slower attack), now I hear it close to LPG. I also could swear that Opus sounds as transparent now. Will do more listening tomorrow with fresh ears (tired after a long day), but so far I'm VERY happy with what I'm hearing."
Thank you in advance
wondering what is a better match for the kaiser 10, AKjr or Opus1...
Great review of Opus #2 @TheHeadphoneList Mike !

Do you plan on adding it to your challenge chart?
I would love to see how you rate against the other DAPs....
Thank you mate.
Yes, I will add Opus#2 to the chart soon.
So you were replaced by mike mangini? So where does the opus # 2 fall in the mix? Thanks!
Although it's not quite a DAP, I wonder how the LG V20 performs in comparison.
San Man,
I reviewed Opus 1 during its very early days. So it wasn't 1.11.

How would the Opus 1 go against the DX90? Will it be a significant improvement?
Lots of new daps being released:
Aune M1S
Sony WM1A (and Z)
Fiio X5 3rd Gen.
iBasso DX200
Also would like to know how the Hifiman Supermini measures up.
Thanks again to @MikePortnoy for doing the work and starting this thread. I know you can't try every dap but I'd love to see this thread continue.
A friendly reminder...Yes, I will add Opus#2 to the chart soon.
