Clearly you need both

Although i wish i could have the best of both worlds, i only have 2 ears and a very limited wallet

Personally I don’t think the gain if any in SQ is much. Depends what you want to use the device for. If it was me and I wanted streaming I would buy a second hand iPod and keep the Opus for your Hi-Res needs

I have both the AK70Mk2 and the Opus#1s and it is a tossup in the Sound quality and build department. I think the AK70 firmware is a bit more intuitive and I like the playlist functions better but I still split time between the Opus and the AK as they both offer a lot for the $.

I got my Opus#1s today! purple with red leather , anyone know where can I find a micro usb to micro usb short cable to connect my mojo to the Opus? I have one but is not good quality.

If these were the same price, which would you purchase?

Probably 55 times out of 100 I'd buy the AK70mk2 and the other 45 I'd buy the Opus#1s - they are that close.

Today I downloaded a digital copy of a new vinyl release. The files are .mp3 On my Opus #1 they are shown as 16bit/44.1kHz. On my Opus #1s they are shown as 24bit/44.1kHz. Wonder if there is a real difference from the decoders?

Something doesn’t sound right here, no pun intended

My mistake... Opus #1 and #1s both report these .mp3 to be 16bit/44.1kHz.

Roon reports 24bit/44.1kHz.
On other .mp3 Roon does say 16bit/44.1kHz.

Looks like Roon is reporting it incorrectly

The files most definitely are 16/44.1 from what you're sating, most probably Roon is acting up for some reason

 

[mpickup]

Turns out the current Roon mp3 decoder outputs 24 bit. So the 24 bit label indicates the Roon mp3 decoder, not the input file.

Sorry if this has been discussed to death, but I did a quick search and couldn't find a solid answer...

I just got my #1s, and I'm disappointed in the weird way the firmware sorts the album list (it looks like it's alphabetized twice). I see it's not just me - others have this issue as well - but I'm wondering what the status of the issue is. Is there a fix, or are we waiting for Audio Opus to fix it in a future firmware update?

Otherwise, I'm really impressed with the sound.

Thanks!

Best way I have found is to put A-L on Card 1 and M-Z on card 2 so it keeps the whole list cleaned up. It sorts per card or storage location so with 2 cards you can actually end up with 3 lists. Internal, card1, card2.

I no longer have this device but remember that mp3 were sorted prior to FLAC.
From memory changing the ID3 version number using mp3tag did the trick.
