my opus 1 has a bit of screen defect and im guessing the battery starts to die off, anyone knows what is the cheapest way to fix it?

I’m afraid you will need to send the DAP to The Bit, since it requires special tools to open it.

An Allen wrench is all that you need to open it up, my Opus #2 had three of the four come loose, so I tightened them. But I would also recommend sending the #1 in for service. If it is under warranty, they may replace it for free or a cost. Otherwise, the #1s is a good option if you want to stay with Opus. Or a used #2...

The OPUS#1 has no screws like OPUS#2.

Hi to all.
I am Opus #1 user for about two years. Yesterday i found some problems with my Opus.
First thing - player stops working when i listening to the music, a popup window appears "Unfortunately, the AudioPlayer application has been stopped"

Second thing is when i try to use my Opus as DAC connected to my notebook. Sometimes it plays sound, sometimes not. Sometimes stops playing sound after few minutes.
I try to reset, buy it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

The player error is fairly common AFAIK- happens to me rarely but doesn't seem to cause any issues after it is acknowledged (IIRC in the past it just caused music to stop and then reset the track shuffle playlist).

Did USB DAC work for you before now? Has never worked properly for me (slightly better on Android than Win7.. recently replaced my computer so I need to try again), I think a few others have mentioned issues). The original cable that came with Op1 had fewer breakup issues for me, though still not usable.

Hi, about the player - i had this error for the first time.
About DAC - it never works perfect until the end of the improvement, because often when watching YouTube, the sound had a different speed than the picture. However, it has never been the case to stop playing.

Hi everyone,

I have just picked up the Opus #1 Metal version, just wondering what IEM's I should be looking into getting that pair well with this DAP? (This will be my first IEM's, i currently own Senn HD6xx as my desktop solution) any suggestions in a few price ranges that i should look into? (E.g. $100 and under, $500 and under, $1000 and under, etc)

Thanks

Congratulations on picking up this fine Gear! 0the best sound I've heard that unit is with Oriolus Mk2 with Ares, II cable. Just breathtaking
Close behind is IMR R1 with same cable. or new Zenith model with that cable Moondrop Kanera is all around budget iem that after 100hrs burn in is fanTastic first two suggestions with balanced 2.5 cable. Not an IEM but best sound is Nighthawk Owl closed headphone which is amazing pairing
At 299$ that combo takes you to sonic Paradise were 700 when they first came out. enjoy!

Perhaps this has been addressed already: my Opus #1 turns off when I disconnect it from USB power. Does anyone else have that problem? Is my battery dead? Can it be replaced? I'd like to get the problem fixed as my player isn't very portable if I have to carry a USB charger and extension cord around...

I wasn't using the #1 for a while, recently came back to it and realised I can't access the playlist menu properly. Every time I hit the the menu button, it shows the current song genre, composer, pathname, file info but I can't get to the interface where I can choose my albums and songs...

Several people in this tread have mentioned that problem. If I remember correctly, it is touchscreen failure, requires repair by Opus.

OK everyone, by Opus #1 is on its way back "home" for a new battery. In round numbers, $35 USPS flat rate international priority, $40 to Opus for the battery, I haven't been quoted return shipping yet. I'll post the results here when I get my player back.
