Using a 200 gig card as well, no issues but I only have used only 35 gigs on it atm.

Has anyone tried and succeeded with a 200 gig sd card in any of the opus products?

I have two 256GB cards in my Opus#1 and one 256GB cards in my Opus#2.

Thanks! Uzi2.

I am using 200Gb sandisk too with no problem too. Thinking of getting 256Gb buy wonder if it will work.

Does anyone know what the price on the OPUS#1 (Original) is suppose to be ? i keep seeing $399/$400 mentioned but am only finding it for $550 or more. Purchased a X5iii (after owning and loving my x3i) and it just sounds so muddy i love the android functionality but at the end of the day its a music player and i need that to sound good first. 
 
Thanks!

There was a sale around Thanksgiving lowering to 400 but that price you see is normal.

https://www.amazon.com/OPUS-Mastering-Resolution-Gunmetal-Balanced/dp/B01N1M2G4C/ might still be the best deal for an Opus #1.

Hmm, is that one a metal chassis with leather case? I bought mine this year off an eBay seller for $399.00 w/Case but it looks like theBit caught on fast with the popularity train and now it looks like you can't even get close to what I paid

The one in the link is plastic.

The $399 price was as mentioned a special.
I think this is the best price at the moment:

Podster, no that's the plastic case (original version), not the Metal which is going for abotut $899 with Dignis case.

Yowza, I'm so glad i got my plastic with case for $399 now! It is an awesome player but at $900 it does have more competition

I don't think the metal version has much competition period.
 
The Sony Flagship wishes it sounded so good. DX200 as well

Yeah me too, I was debating whether to buy it or not when my wife said 'just buy it'. Glad I listened to her.
I'm not sure the metal (Opus#3) is $400 better but then I've not heard it.
As for competition, I don't think the Opus#1 has much competition in it's price range given the non-buggy UI and outstanding sound quality.

Hbb, how you figure the sq of opus 1 and X5iii fair? I have heard some pretty negative impressions of the later sq and I know you are a fan.

Everybody on the internet is full of ****. Including me.
 
That said..
 
My Metal OPUS was sold for $350 in Japanese yen. The after market for OPUS stuff is pretty bad . The guy who bought it uses it on a train everyday and loves it. I loved it.
I regret selling it but I don't collect stuff so I moved things. Shoulda moved a Mojo which I got for the 3rd time cuz it is like $200 now on after market so ...damn...gotta have it. But I shoulda sold that as the metal is rare and mojo's are hard to find like rain drops in Seattle.
 
The game is hype. Hype this that or another. The OPUS does not punch above it's class. The other items like Lootoo, A&K380, Sony flag are priced beyond their performance.
 
My main rig is a PHA-3 on a Note 4 with no sim card.
 
I bought the X5iii and put up one of the first English vids to throw water on the faces of the hypers who were no doubt coming. I am an a//hole like that. no apologies.
Now in an ironic twist I fell in love and catch water to the dome. and get upset with folks doing what I was going to do.
 
Can't explain. We like what we like. I like Pink Floyd and 2pac a lot and my rigs sound great. I shoulda kept the Metal. Damn collectors item and sounds like a TOTL device which is more than some TOTL devices can do.
