Anyways, OT. I still have yet to see this amazing sleep mode battery everybody talks about. It will drop a few % after a day, even when off, my Fiio M3 I can have off for weeks and no battery drop

That IS the amazing sleep mode lol... it's only amazing compared to before- for using the DAP somewhat regularly now we don't have to wait for it to boot & rescan every time.

 

[karloil]

True. Even if i fully turn off my #1 (and #3) i still loose a certain %. My M2s doesn't do such. Makes me think there's still activity even if the unit was fully turned off.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Amazon gave me an immediately refund after some chat with the reseller!!!! OMG it's coming tomorrow a brand new one!!!

Yay!!!!!!! Very happy for you!

Hope to test it out! I will see what the deep sleep function too. It's the moon icon I believe in menu?

Funny I live in Bay Area south of San Francisco!

There is a sleep option in the settings, but I don't suggest you use that. It shuts off the player.

Opus goes into a deep sleep hibernation automatically. This is not a feature you can turn on or off. It simply kicks in after a couple of seconds of inactivity. It's impressive. You can go days and days without losing more than a percent or two of battery, and the player will turn back on instantly with the press of the power button.

have you tried for a week or 2? how many % do you loose in those time frames?

 

[PinkyPowers]

No. If I'm not using it very often, then I will just turn it off.

 

[mbwilson111]

I don't go that long without using it because it is the main source for the tube amp in my living room. I should experiment with one thing . I think it might lose more if it is connected to the line out while sleeping but I an not sure if that would make sense.

 

[karloil]

No. If I'm not using it very often, then I will just turn it off.

ok, how long have you left it off and how many % did you loose?

 

[PinkyPowers]

I'm not fastidious enough to have exact numbers. But it was around a week, and it drained around 5%.

If you want more than that, I say you're living your life wrong.

For those who use their DAP every day, or every other day, just leave the Opus on all the time. But if you go a week or more without using it. Then turn it off until you're ready for it. Deal with the scan time on that first boot-up. If you go that long without using it, you can wait ten minutes for it to scan.

 

[Lurk650]

I didn't my own sleep vs battery test a while back. I don't use the player super often so I can do it again. From pics, I took it off the charger at 100% at 11:45 PM, the next morning at 8:45 AM it was at 99%.

ok. sounds about right. i just want to make sure i'm not the only one seeing "significant" battery drain with the unit completely off.

 

[Riley Beale]

Wow! The battery drain in sleep mode sounds like it is perfect for my needs. I don't think I will be shutting mine down much when i get one later this year. That is great news for me. Thanks for this uplifting info.

Cheers
