Only #2 unfortunately, will see if where I start work tomorrow has one I can borrow though.
Cool, Thanks! Really excited about this one, Im a fan of the Burr Brown DACs. I bet it will be a hard DAP to compete with.

Keep my fingers crossed to be so.

I think Audio-Opus is going for a particular sound.
The Metal and the #2 and now the #3 all have wide stages full low end and treble that does not seem rolled.
Very nice sound and the EQ immediately degrades it IMO. Only DAP maker that consistently rolls out non EQ needing devices regardless of the DAC(s) used.

I agree, they all have superb SQ without EQ. I am very impressed by their DAP's and love my #2.

The preview tells us, that Opus3 sounds great. Really hope TheBit didn't decrease bass and didn't roll of the treble, like it was with Opus 1.

Burrbrown has a very meaty tonal body in my experiences, and I do like it too 
. Both BB and AK DAC are very close in timbres, and detailed freak people would always love ESS Sabres. Both BB and Sabres are very hard to implement, BB can easily be overly warmth and ESS can easily be overly bright....and AK is the friendly folk ....that is just my own opinion though. We will see how the Opus #3 turn out to be

I have the iDSD BL with me too and that is a fairly good compare.
If you ever heard the OPUS Metal or #2 it is pretty similar. They are in fact apparently going for a particular sonic sig. It has weight and depth. not thin or distant. I am going to make a point of pointing out flaws . I just got it and honestly it sounds really nice. But I will let the hammer falls when I see a nail.

Guys, I own a reference sounding DAC/Amp on the PCM1795 though. This is my personal benchmark, not the 1792A but still from the family.
Let's see how The Bit have cooked the DAP
