If this metal version came with streaming ability for Tidal, I would sell the mojo and take a punt at it. Just watched HBB vid of the unboxing, looks... right up my street.

The i5 looks a very nice player but feel they will release an upgrade version soon enough. Alot of people seem to enjoy the #1 from various thread mentions. Reading sound impressions will be interesting.

For me, streaming is pretty much a must have. I use my phone for EVERYTHING. Seems alot of effort to source albums, code them to 320/flac etc when I can just stream. Keen to read dx200 impressions also. #1 is such a nice looking dap though, makes my galaxy s6 edge+ with a newly minted cracked screen look pretty bland and uncool lol

'hifiheadphones.co.uk have £50 off to bring it down to £399.99 atm'
 
I bought mine off of them but they don't have any cases and I'm struggling to find anywhere that does.

Yeah, ping Lee, I think he makes one of those as well.  I had Zen with dual 3.5mm and he provided dual 3.5mm to 3.5mm SE and 3.5mm Balanced adapters.  And yeah, Lee (@zhibli06) is the guy behind Monks, and he likes to yell at people who complain about his $5 earbuds lol!!!  He is definitely your soul mate in temper, Chris
 

  I did and he is a pro's pro.
Fast reply, no ******** and it's on it's way with tracking.
Gotta be the best dude on this site. Holy ****. Stoked!
 
I gotta do a Naughty and Nice video for 2016 and he just kicked the door down and is getting mentioned prominently. The value in dollars is small but the service is huge and the reasonable price just adds to it. Out freakin standing. Thanks for rec'ing him to me

theBit rep, for firmware 2.0 ... and especially for fixing the EQ ... pass along to the development team, THANK YOU. Only got to install it this weekend. The opus 1 is all it could be now. Really fantastic.

I will report that I have seen lockups while music was playing and I was browsing around in my library. Never saw that with the original firmware. Music kept playing but the UI became unresponsive. I was able to shutdown with a long press on power.

To all who also saw hangs and installed 2.0.3, does that update alleviate the hangs? Haven't had time to use the player since updating to 2.0.3.

The latest firmware has the last 10 sec problem. I left the Opus to play until the battery gave out and then plugged it into the mains charger. The main charging screen immediately showed 43% so it's not in sync with the actual battery level.

You need to go through 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles before battery meter gets calibrated (or improves the calibration), similar to smartphones.

The small battery level seems accurate. The new large icon doesn't. I'm on a charge/discharge cycle greater than 6.

Hi, I'm trying install the newest update (2.00.03) directly to my sd card. My player already has version 2.00. 
I've tried using Winrar with no success. Should this software work for a pack file, or is there another one?
I'm not proud, I'm a novice at this sort of thing. Would someone please help?

 

[Passenger11]

Lol, figured it out, thanks...

They really are impressive with the continuous firmware updates. Seems like every other week there's a new one

Best android based UI I have ever used. uber simple. Not spartan but not busy/tiring/where the "f" is my___?? kinda stuff. Very nice!

Agree! Even if I prefer the sound of the i5, I still use the Opus#1 more on a daily basis. Like listening in the office. Need buds to still be aware of what's happening around, like phonecalls and stuff like that.

 I wanted them to allow Neutron but honestly I can keep that on my Note 4 and whatever amp/dac i choose and keep the OPUS simple clean and snappy. Nice change of pace for me

Neutron was all but great for me too.  The only thing I didn't like was the UI.  Otherwise, all the features were good.  I also prefer to use it on my smartphone than a DAP, unless native.  I love how the Opus#1 got a simple and user-friendly UI and operation.  Ideal use any day.

Dear Santa,
 
Could you make every company as outstanding as Lee @zhibli06
 
I have been a good boy and spent a mountain of money this year.

I just ask that companies not make excuses like we were at a meet or we don't work weekends or we forgot this or we forgot that.
Who cares? DO YOUR JOB!
 
Send Lee an email so he can teach you.
